Ep. 98: Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself ft. Danielle Prescod
On this week’s episode of Naked Beauty, BET’s Style Director Danielle Prescod is back for a deeply personal and honest conversation about body image, IVF treatment, mental health, and finding what makes you happy. With a career in fashion and beauty editorial, Prescod’s life has often been filled with black tie events and fabulous launch parties. However, over the past year or so, Prescod has made a point to look inward and to establish strong mental health habits. Listen to hear us talk about:
Ghosting Therapists
The choice to go on medication
IVF Weight Gain & how it impacts her self-esteem
Body Image
Meditation Apps
Canyon Ranch/Depression, Anxiety, and Living in the Present Moment
Her beauty, skincare and fragrance faves

Ep. 30: Celibate, Sober & Fasting Ft. Danielle Prescod
BET Style editor, Danielle Prescod, and I talk through A LOT in this last episode of 2017. Danielle doesn’t drink, “doesn’t enjoy food like that” AND she’s celibate — clearly, she’s got some super-human willpower.
We discuss Meghan Markle, what working in fashion does to your closet, what therapy has done for her, dating in NYC, and how Danielle balances her work & downtime even though she’s a self-described ‘content monster with a pathological need for attention’. Danielle’s introduction to fasting and the cult of Dr. Charles Passler, started out as a story she was working on for ELLE but soon developed into a total body transformation and entirely new approach to eating.
We discuss her matcha latte, bone broth and tea diet, and getting your body into a ketogenic state for maximum fat burning. Listen for: Racially Screening Soul Cycle instructors (lol!) Hiring Glam Squads For Nights Out Working Out & Finding the Right Hairstyle Getting “Eyebrow Shamed” by your Facialist The Benefits of Clearing Out Your Closet What Therapy has Helped her Learn & Avoiding “Prescription Pushers” Going Blonde “Instagram Face” & a lot more
