    Ep 06 - Jacquelyn Rodriguez - Non-Toxic Leadership in the Beauty Industry

    Dierdre and Jacquelyn dive deep into what it means to depart from a beauty industry fraught with toxic standards - from the ingredients to the culture at large. If you don't feel like a leader in your own salon biz yet, just wait till the end of this episode! Jacquelyn Rodriguez is a Holistic Salon Owner, founder of The Clean Beauty Biz Method, Certified Master Neuro-Coach, author, non-toxic cosmetic line owner and creator, energy healer, and podcast host. Her first passion is to nurture her clients with green chemistry products and a salon dedicated to creating the most stylish looks using products, techniques, and packaging that has the least impact on the environment. Not too many people were doing this 15 years ago when she was creating an eco-friendly salon, so without a mentor or guide, she began a journey that led her into coaching. Today, while her salon business is growing, she is teaching other beauty business professionals how to create profit and freedom with her clean beauty biz method.  Her mission is to break industry norms! To educate and empower beauty professionals to change the way we think of beauty. She's committed to creating environments that normally are so toxic on so many levels into a Non-toxic and healthy environment!!

    Ep 03 - Alden Tewsley - On Fashion Boundaries & Binaries

    Alden is a gem of a human - this conversation is rich and thoughtful on the ways in which our clothing choices both reflect our identities and create them as we go! You can find Alden at instagram.com/a.tewsley or instagram.com/a.line.co  to keep up with all of his awesome projects! Alden is one of those introverted extroverts. He loves to perform on stage, in the classroom, or for the camera. But when he isn’t showing off his love of acting and his flair for fashion, he prefers long walks by himself, hanging out with his family, or hiding out in his room playing video games and Beyblades.  Alden is in his junior year at Milan High School. He performs in the chamber choir and is a member of their theater department. Alden serves on the Milan Youth Council and the Ann Arbor Area Youth council. He also studies dance at Dance Xplosion. He hopes to purse theater arts and fashion design after he graduates.
