    The Beauty of Long Friendships: Joanna Barbera on Female Connection & Letting Go of Our Old Selves

    With roots in New York and stints in San Francisco, Maui, London, Arizona, Austin and Nashville, Joanna Barbera’s wandering spirit shines through in her evocative folk tunes. Her interest in the ethereal and the divine, from religious studies and yoga to shamanism and energy-healing, has influenced her songs, which ask big questions about relationships, life, death and finding one’s place. Joanna made the move to Nashville in the summer of 2014, where she wrote and recorded her latest EP, IMAGO. The song “When the Rain Comes” landed a feature on CBS’s Criminal Minds, while a new single, a cover of Tom Petty’s “Breakdown,” was released soon after. Joanna followed the song’s arrival with a European tour alongside Deer Tick to close out the year.

    Are You Beautiful? Arielle de Martinez on Rethinking Beauty & Just About Everything Else

    Arielle de Martinez helps women all over the world free themselves from the industries that benefit from women not claiming their own autonomy, from the beauty industry that breeds insecurities and toxicity, the stylist/client power dynamics in the salon industry, and the allopathic systems that don’t seem to actually know how to truly be (and stay) well. With her guidance, women are healing their hair by using products they can make themselves at home with ingredients found in their garden and taking responsibility for the health of themselves and their families. Her “No Poo Method” has developed a cult following of women ditching the shampoo for good, and her course, “The Wild Mother’s Medicine Chest” has allowed women from all over the world to become the healers of their families.
