Katey Kristabelle (faces by Katey on IG) is the founder of Mindful Beauty, a safe no judgment space for you to receive guidance towards skin and soul healing.
Katey is a holistic esthetician specializing in “glowing skin and fluffy brows”. She has been practicing her craft for a decade and believes in treating not only the skin’s surface but looking at how everything is all connected.
In this episode, we talk about all things holistic skincare! Katey explains what being a holistic esthetician means, discusses the importance of your liver and lymphatic system in skin health, strep bacteria as a main culprit behind your acne, and why and how to add Gua sha to your skincare routine! At the end, I ask Katey a few rapid-fire questions in my Skin Savvy Segment, which breaks down some myths (do we need SPF 100, do we need AM/PM skincare, etc.), must-haves, and skin wellness advice!

In episode 92 of the podcast, I sit down with author and educator Dr. Najwa Zebian to talk about emotional depth, letting go, and her newest book, The One Who Broke You Can’t Heal You. We get into being a “hopium addict,” confusing someone’s potential with who they actually are, and what happens when being understanding turns into endlessly accommodating. If you’ve ever thought, “I understand why you’re like this, but why am I the one paying for it?”....this conversation is for you. In this episode: Recognizing someone’s emotional capacity before you’re attached. What to look for in a partner when you love deeply. Why their potential can be harder to release than the actual person. The different bonds that keep you stuck in a relationship. Moving forward without their apology, explanation, or closure.

How the Four Burners Theory can help you prioritize what truly matters. Why certainty is a myth and confidence comes from commitment, not perfect information. Practical tools and journal prompts to help you make decisions with greater clarity and less regret. ___ Ready to make real changes, not just think about them?If you want support turning insight into action and breaking patterns that keep repeating, you can explore working together here!
