The Beauty Ritual Podcast is about the intersection of age, beauty and identity in the 21st century. This podcast was inspired by the last decade I spent behind the chair watching clients contemplate their lives and their relationships with themselves. Beauty trends come and go but what remains constant is our desire to know ourselves.The Beauty Ritual podcast is for people who sit down in the salon chair, look in the mirror and think, "What am I trying to do here?"
