    Episode 21 - Beauty Beyond Perfection | Marina Polta - Cosmetologist

    In this episode of The Icon Edit, I sit down with Marina, a Dubai-based cosmetologist, for an honest conversation about beauty, ageing, confidence, and the pressure women feel to look perfect. We talk about skin health, beauty treatments, fillers, Botox, SPF, pigmentation, social media beauty standards, and why so many women are moving away from looking “done” and towards looking fresh, natural, and like themselves. But this conversation goes deeper than skincare. Marina also opens up about vulnerability, therapy, confidence, dating, femininity, and why women need to stop putting men at the center of their lives.

    Episode 15 - The Hunger Within | Christelle Bedrossian - Dietitian & Hypnotherapist

    In this episode, I’m joined by Christelle Bedrossian, an emotional eating specialist and clinical dietician, for a conversation about the deeper patterns behind overeating, cravings, body image, and weight struggles. We talk about why emotional eating is not really about food, how to tell the difference between physical hunger and emotional hunger, and why willpower alone is usually not the answer. Christelle also shares how stress, loneliness, self-talk, nervous system regulation, and childhood conditioning can shape our relationship with food. This is a thoughtful and practical conversation for anyone who feels stuck in cycles of overeating, guilt, dieting, or negative body image.
