    Why You're Not Getting the Sex You Want and How to Fix It

    Shan Boodram is a certified sex educator, board-certified sexologist, and the leading figure in a new kind of sexual education. Wielding an MS in Psychology and a longstanding curiosity, Shan helps people move towards greater intimacy between their partners and themselves. Born and raised in a predominantly white neighborhood in Canada, Shan’s initially poor experiences with sex led her to educate herself on how to prevent these kinds of experiences from occurring again. She built on this curiosity and self-education with professional training and a growing desire to build a new kind of sex ed. Shan joined Naked Beauty with her usual candor, granting us access to her personal experiences with desire, intimacy, sex, and pleasure. During our conversation, Shan made it clear that her goal isn’t just to get people talking about sex, but to take back their power from dominant narratives about sexual development and education to empower ourselves. Shan walks us through how her loving relationship with her husband exposed her to unconditional love she didn’t realize she was missing. She offers couples tips on how to have a fruitful sex life while managing the responsibilities of long-term partnership, parenting, and the daily drudgery of life. We covered the more unpleasant side of relationships, like how couples can move away from resentment and towards repair. Shan also provided us with specific examples that we can employ immediately to have better sex with ourselves and our partners. Shan even offered a live demonstration of her favorite sex positions and toys that are sure to please.  (0:00) Welcome Shan (3:55) Navigating Beauty In Predominantly White Spaces (6:55) Novels That Shaped Her Early Understanding Of Intimacy And Sex (12:40) Masturbation & Self-Pleasure (18:25) Her Favorite Sex Toys (23:50) Tapping Back Into Self-Intimacy (33:20) Shan's Pre-Intimacy Ritual (40:00) Incompatible Sex Drives In Relationships (41:25) Managing Her Shifting Sex Drive During Pregnancy (42:50) Conversations Couples Should Have About Sex (45:25) Moving From Resentment To Repair (48:20) Lightning Round: Easy Sexual Upgrades (54:25) Show & Tell: Sexual Positions Demonstration (01:05:57) When Shan Feels The Most Beautiful Rate, Subscribe & Review the Podcast on Apple Join the Naked Beauty Community on IG: @nakedbeautyplanet Thanks for all the love and support.

    The Audacity Era: Kayla Nicole on Doing the Scary Thing Anyway

    Kayla Nicole began training in gymnastics at only 5 years old. What started as fun and playful sessions quickly developed into a disciplined regimen of focus. She learned all about the type of commitment it takes to become a competitive athlete by focusing on diet, exercise, and training. She used that early dedication to carry herself through Pepperdine University's prestigious broadcast journalism degree program and into a massive media career that spans genres. Her early media icons were leading ladies in everyone’s favorite romcoms, including the Toni Braxton, with whom she had a chance to perform. These moments aren’t serendipitous; they are the culmination of Kayla’s incredible use of social media to show people her personality and well of talent.  Kayla always knew that she belonged in front of the camera, helping people tell their stories. She got practice in both, working in retail and modeling in L.A. During our conversation, we talked all about her incredible discipline and how it informs everything from her daily workouts to her pursuit of media success. We also chat about what it was like growing up in a family of women, headed by a glamorous matriarch who believes in self-care. We discuss the alluring red carpet events and how support from a therapist helped her surmount a season of depression. Our conversation is candid and funny, and it mirrors the Kayla Nicole her audience has grown to love.   Tune in as we discuss: (0:00) Welcome Kayla (7:40) Kayla’s Gym Routine (11:35) Early Beauty Icons (12:55) Cosmetic Enhancements  (16:20) Skincare Routine (23:50) Haircare In The Gym  (25:45) On Battling Clinical Depression (31:25) Meeting & Performing With Toni Braxton (38:20) Pre-Red Carpet Beauty & Style Prep (40:30) Makeup Routine (50:10) Making Friends As An Adult (52:10) When Kayla Feels The Most Beautiful Rate, Subscribe & Review the Podcast on Apple Join the Naked Beauty Community on IG: @nakedbeautyplanet Thanks for all the love and support.

    How Toni Bravo Became the CEO of Blush

    Toni Bravo is the CEO of Blush and an influencer powerhouse. Based in Los Angeles, the California native has built a loyal community well into the millions because of her impeccable taste and advocacy for inclusivity in the beauty industry. Toni joined Naked Beauty to talk about her life before a viral blush try-on video changed everything. She shared what it was like to grow up as a fraternal twin in the sunny and very diverse Long Beach. We talked about her early forays into filming and editing herself and her family at just nine years old, simply for the love of storytelling. She detailed how influential the women in her life were to shaping the way she saw the beauty in herself and the world around her. It’s precisely this love of telling intimate stories that have shaped her POV into the one beloved by so many.  Toni doesn’t hold back when it comes to the realities of being a successful and full-time content creator, especially when advocating for dark-skinned Black women’s access to high-quality beauty. I was very interested to learn how she maintains strong brand relationships without compromising the truth about product efficacy. She details the commitment and self-trust one has to have to succeed, because your point of view is everything. During our conversation, Toni talked about her interest in product development and why she isn’t limiting herself in anything. Toni also blessed us with a quick tour of her favorite products, from skincare, to haircare, and of course blush! We covered her recent Architectural Digest feature and the intentional design choices that went into making her home, hers.     Tune in as we discuss: (0:00) Welcome Toni (2:15) Growing Up A California Girl  (8:01) What It Takes To Be  A Content Creator (10:30) Dealing With Being Recognized In Public (12:30) The Mental Toll Of Seeing Yourself All The Time (17:18) What Her Rare Beauty Internship Taught Her (25:22) Her Top Five Favorite Blushes (28:40) Toni’s Go-To Lip Combo Tutorial (37:50) Building Her Dream Home (39:15) Her Beauty Inspirations (40:00) Toni's Aunt is Grace Jones (43:12) Favorite Skincare, Haircare, and Beauty Products (46:42) When Toni Feels The Most Beautiful Rate, Subscribe & Review the Podcast on Apple Join the Naked Beauty Community on IG: @nakedbeautyplanet Thanks for all the love and support.

    How Aora Beauty Founder Nour Tayara Made Sustainability Beautiful 

    Nour Tayara joined us to talk about his innovative and 100% plastic-free beauty brand, AORA. Before he became a co-founder and CEO, Nour was learning about the power of beauty culture to connect and spark conversation among his community in Beirut. During our conversation, he shared how he found his place in Lebanon’s underground queer scene and shaped his life’s motto to be kind and engaging to everyone, wherever you are. We talk about how Nour supplemented his scholarship by taking guerrilla marketing jobs and how they changed his mind about his electrical engineering major. Nour explains how an incredibly high test score landed him an internship and ultimately a full-time role at L'Oréal, where he worked for 13 years. We cover how, in those 13 years, Nour learned the good, the bad, and the ugly about what it takes to run a legacy beauty brand. As Nour’s role and responsibilities evolved, he learned more about the waste and overconsumption plaguing the industry. Always prepared to innovate, he pitched a plastic-free brand to his management, which was promptly rejected. While reeling from a series of difficult events, Nour shared that a four-month break in Mexico City ultimately led him to his co-founder. The pair were aligned on building a brand that celebrates Mexican culture and is 100% plastic-free. Join us for an incredible conversation about what happens when you stay open to possibilities for your future and your principles are immovable. Nour details what it means to him to bring color to the clean beauty movement, why Mexico has always been a lifeline, and what it feels like to disrupt an industry.  Tune in as we discuss: (0:00) Welcome Nour (2:10) Why Beirut Has An Incredible Beauty Culture (4:45) Middle Eastern Grooming for Men (11:27) Nour’s Accidental Start At L’Oreal (22:30) Buzzword or Buzzworthy In Clean Beauty (33:00) What It Really Means To Be Plastic Free (41:30) Exclusive News: AORA Beauty Is Launching On Sephora.com  (45:13) Why We Should All Be Reaching For More Color (46:10) Top Three Must-Visit Locations in Mexico City (49:30) AORA Makeup Being Used For Bad Bunny’s Halftime Show (53:55) How Bad Bunny Upends Machismo Culture (55:35) The Future Of The Beauty Industry (01:05:30) Easy Lifestyle Upgrades Rate, Subscribe & Review the Podcast on Apple Join the Naked Beauty Community on IG: @nakedbeautyplanet Thanks for all the love and support.

    The Insider Guide to Undetectable Plastic Surgery and Deep Plane Facelifts with Dr Carl Truesdale

    Dr. Carl Truesdale joins Naked Beauty to talk about how he became the go-to plastic surgeon in Beverly Hills. During our conversation Dr. Truesdale shared how his scientist and artist parents influenced his early interests, and ultimately his career. As a child he was a science nerd who attended science camp, and a gifted portrait artist. He was always interested in finding the beauty in people’s faces, an interest that would never leave him. While in medical school, Dr. Truesdale was faced with more limited perspectives on beauty and technique that prioritized Eurocentric features. Dr. Truesdale shared with us that he made it his mission to challenge these dated perspectives and provide his clients of color with high quality service that does not fundamentally change what they look like, and ultimately, who they are. Dr. Truesdale is best known for his natural-looking procedures, especially deep plane face lifts, but our conversation covers many procedures. We get the scoop on facelifts filler, buccal fat removal, fat transfers, rhinoplasty, lip lifts and more. Dr. Truesdale generously explains how many of these procedures work, and what he takes into account before agreeing to perform them on his patients. We also talk about his interest in social media, and why dispelling disinformation online about medicine and science is so important to him. We also discuss the treatments he dislikes, when he’ll reject patient requests, and the signs that tell him a patient should be recommended to therapeutic services pre-treatment. Dr.Truesdale has changed his industry and we are so excited for you to hear how he changed what was possible in his field.  Tune in as we discuss: (3:45) Growing Up A Science Nerd (5:05) His Background As A Portrait Artist (6:20) How He Saw Himself Growing Up (7:25) Challenging Norms About What It Means To Be Beautiful (8:50) How Plastic Surgery Helps People (9:45) The Privilege Of This Work (10:55) How Aging Changes Our Faces (11:35) If The Collagen Hype Is Legitimate (13:15) Aging More Rapidly At Certain Periods In Our Lives (15:15) What A Deep Plane Facelift Entails (16:40) Why Lip Lifts Are So Interesting (19:50) Avoiding Overfilling and Over-Injecting (21:00) Thoughts On The Lack Of Integrity In The Plastic Surgery Industry (22:25) The Rising Popularity of Blepharoplasty (23:50) The Value Of Buccal Fat Removal (25:55) Why Fat Transfers Are The BBL of The Face  (27:00) Fat Transfer Under The Eye Versus Filler (27:30) How Long Filler Can Actually Last (28:35) Lower Face Jowling (29:39) Why He Doesn’t Love KYBELLA (30:05) Why Brow Lifts Are Effective Procedures (31:17) How Rapid Weight Loss Affects The Face (36:20) Unlearning Eurocentric Teaching Models (36:45) Why He’s Vocal On Social Media (38:25) Procedures He May Get Done One Day (39:25) Thoughts On Ethnic Rhinoplasty (41:08) The Best Way To Determine How We’ll Look As We Age (42:15) Red Flags From Patients (46:10) Advice to Upcoming Plastic Surgeons (47:15) Self-Care and Gratitude Practice (50:15) When He Feels Most Beautiful  Rate, Subscribe & Review the Podcast on Apple Join the Naked Beauty Community on IG: @nakedbeautyplanet Thanks for all the love and support.

    Hope Giselle Wants Accomplices, Not Allies

    Hope Giselle joins us to talk about her incredible journey to becoming a sought-after activist and speaker. Hope began her advocacy work fighting for inclusion and access for herself as an undergraduate at Alabama A&M University. Hope founded the university’s first LGBTQ+ organization and later became the first openly trans woman to earn a Master of Fine Arts from the university. She has since built a decade-long career as an activist, author, speaker, and nonprofit founder (AllowMe). Hope has proven that nothing is off limits to her, and she has committed her life’s work to ensuring the same for all others. During our conversation, we talked about the incredible life she’s built fighting against marginalization, and how she manages to look so good doing it. During our conversation, Hope told us what it was like growing up in Miami and having others project their beliefs about her gender and sexuality onto her at five years old. We talked about how growing up surrounded by her stylish Caribbean family of Cuban and  Haitian descent shaped her ideas about femininity and womanhood. She shared that her journey of defining and redefining herself was difficult, but at 19, a video of Janet Mock opened up new possibilities for her life. Hope talked about the most eye-opening aspects of her transition, especially at an HBCU that skews conservative about gender and sexuality. We have an incredible conversation about why there is sometimes a struggle among cis women, with being in community with our trans sisters, and how we might overcome those barriers. Hope brilliantly outlines the dangers trans people face each day, and the tangible ways we can all fight transphobia and transmisia. Of course, there was beauty talk, about the ways that the LGBTQ+ community has shaped the beauty industry across time. She also gave us her entire skincare, body care, and makeup routines.

    Sami Miro on Rejecting Fast Fashion, Botox and Clean Makeup That Works

    Sami Miro is the founder of Sami Miro Vintage, a Creative Director, and CFDA Vogue Fashion Fund finalist whose innovative approach to fashion merges circular design, emerging AI, and ethical production. During our conversation, Sami discusses how her sense of self was shaped early, growing up mixed-race (Black, French, and Russian) in San Francisco, raised solely by her father who reminded her of her inherent beauty. Sami’s style is incredibly unique, and in our conversation we talk about style differences between New York and LA, the beauty of individual style, and how vintage helped Sami find her voice, her style, and ultimately her career. Today, her zero-waste collaborations with brands like Levi's and Nike, her dressing of Beyoncé and her 29 dancers on the Cowboy Carter Tour, and her work with the 2024 US Olympic gymnastics team prove that fashion and sustainability are not at odds, they are inextricably linked.  (00:00) Introducing Sami Miro (00:02) Sami's Personal Style (00:04) LA Style vs. Personal Expression (00:09) Discovering Vintage Shopping (00:10) Sami's Dad & His Wild Career (00:17) From Tech to Fashion (00:21) Building Sami Miro Vintage & Circular Fashion (00:24) Vintage Denim Deep Dive (00:26) Fast Fashion & Environmental Impact (00:38) AI and Sustainability (00:40) Beauty Treatments & Skincare Routine (00:47) LA Beauty Standards (00:48) When Do You Feel Most Beautiful?
