This week I’m joined by Sheena Zadeh, founder of Kosas, to talk about the real story behind building a massive beauty brand while trusting your intuition through every twist. She opens up about young marriage and divorce, losing her home in a fire, and deprogramming the belief that women are only valuable if they’re partnered. We also explore how confidence, self-knowledge, and true self-possession come from surviving what was meant to break you. We get into the reality of growing a brand (yes, even when you see celebrities using your products), her beauty philosophy and current trends she’s loving, unhinged beauty purchases, thoughts on aging, and the gifts that come from hardship as we navigate our 30s, step into our 40s, and fully own who we are.

This week, I’m joined by Dr. Felice Chan, a Chinese medicine doctor who bridges Eastern and Western approaches to healing after years studying allopathic medicine including shadowing an oncology neurosurgeon and working at Boston Children’s Hospital. We dive into the fascinating contrasts between healthcare in Hong Kong and the U.S., the 5,000-year misunderstanding around acupuncture, and how our gut health connects to anxiety, depression, and even our skin. Dr. Chan shares practical, science-backed tips to reduce bloating, support digestion, curb sugar cravings, and shift your mindset around food—plus her honest takes on popular health trends like intermittent fasting and cold plunging. We also get into cosmetic acupuncture, what not to do on your period, how emotions manifest physically, and how to “eat your skincare” by nourishing your blood and creating a vibrant, resilient body from the inside out.
