podcast December 29, 2025

Background
share close

In this special year-end episode of the Naked Beauty Podcast, I’m the guest! My producer, Mbiye Kasonga, interviewed me, and we reflected on the challenges and triumphs of 2025, including my return from maternity leave, the impact of the LA fires, and the balance between my corporate and creative responsibilities. We also touched on the major beauty trends of 2025, the wonderful range of guests we’ve had, and my thoughts on the evolving podcasting landscape. Mbiye asked some great questions, and I really dug deep in this episode to share my insights on the joys of community, creativity, and the pressures of constant innovation. The episode ends with our personal reflections on beauty and exciting predictions for 2026.
