Ep. 107: [Leftovers] Motherhood & Creating Life ft Julee Wilson, Global Beauty Director Essence
“I thought I was a feminist before. You can’t tell me sh*t about women now. We bring whole entire lives into this world” my guest Julee Wilson on the experience of childbirth.
Join Julee, Global Beauty Director of Essence, and I on this leftover’s edition of Naked Beauty as we talk about her experience of being a Mother. It’s something I feel we don’t talk about enough so I had so many questions and Julee answered them all. We talk:
Going from life as an athlete to being a Mom.
Julee’s experience with first trimester morning sickness, the energy she gained in the second trimester and what it’s like to grow a human being inside of you.
A cup size increase can be expected but also, your feet may swell (who knew?)
Her husband being in the room during labor, the ‘husband stitch’, lactating & how she makes time for herself as a busy working Mom

Ep. 105: Jade Rolling, Manifesting & Community Ft Satchel Lee
A creative career felt pretty inevitable for Satchel. As the daughter of producer Tonya Lewis Lee and director Spike Lee, Satchel has always had a great appreciation for storytelling but she's already carving out a distinct voice of her own. And growing up in New York, there were always plenty of stories to tell. In high school, Satchel first found her creative community in an affinity group for queer kids called “The Network.” Then, as a film student at NYU, she went on to establish a black artist collective known as “Chromatic.” Today, Lee has teamed up with childhood friend Caroline D’Arcy Gorman to establish DRØME, a magazine “for those who dare”. With exclusive interviews from artists like Billie Eilish, Amandla Stenberg, and Ashton Sanders, DRØME is well on it’s way to becoming THE alternative magazine for Gen-Z. On this episode of Naked Beauty, Satchel and I talk beauty politics, intersectional feminism, dating apps, and so much more!

Ep. 80: Trust the Timing of Your Life Ft Madison Utendahl
Creative freedom, the role of therapy, patience with your hair, your skin, the joys of being alone, affirming your own destiny, setting intentions...so much of this very special episode with Madison is about trusting the timing of your life. I’ve admired Madison, founder of Utendahl Creative , for years! She was the force behind some of my favorite work at Refinery29, social director for the Museum of Ice Cream & overall industry thought leader. It was a joy to learn more about her story and discuss everything from:
Coming into her own as a solo entrepreneur after having success so early
Healing her skin with natural products
Going to Paris to get re-centered
A therapist who ‘gets it’
Coming to terms with her blackness, going blonde and then back to black
SUNSCREEN *spoiler* we love Supergoop
Cruelty-free beauty
Lip liner as the secret essential step to any makeup routine
What she learned about beauty from her time at Refinery29

For Besidone, it’s all about putting her brain & body in a place for maximum efficiency & happiness. From her esthetician to her brow-person, Besidone believes in finding people you can spiritually connect with for your beauty services & investing in the best! “Live life free” and “life is real” are tatted on her fingers and listening to her story has taught me more about how to embrace life to the fullest!
