Let’s be real — skin issues like acne are not technically life threatening, but man — they are a pain in the ass. Acne is associated with depression, anxiety, and social isolation and frankly — ACNE STEALS JOY. Between 79–95 percent of adolescents and 40–54 percent of adults experience acne. The reality is, acne is frustrating no matter what age it shows up, but it can be particularly unnerving for adults. Unfortunately, adult acne can sometimes develop well into your 30s, 40s, and 50s — it’s even possible to develop acne later in life even if you skated by in your younger years without a blemish. Acne does not discriminate against age, lifestyle, or even skin type. RUDE. Hormonal fluctuations, dietary changes, shifts in gut flora, and environmental factors can all impact the health of our skin and cause breakouts. The most important thing to understand about virtually all skin disorders is that, like all other “diseases of civilization”, they are inflammatory in nature. Which is great news! This means we

Relationship status: IT’S COMPLICATED. Ever feel like this when it comes to your skin? When your skin is either dry or oily, taking care of it is usually a straightforward process. But when you've got a little bit of both, things start to get a little complicated. Intense moisturizers can be too much, oil-absorbing masks can cause dryness, and “balancing” oils never seem to be enough. If you’re frustrated — you’re not alone. Combination skin is very common and while it’s not simple to address - Genevieve is breaking it down for us this week and next week in Part 1 and Part 2 of our Skin Type Series on Combination Skin.

This week on the podcast Cassie and Genevieve sit down to talk about a subject that is so very important — COMMUNITY. For some reason, as entrepreneurs and as women, we seem to love the idea of being “self-made.” Somewhere along the way we were taught that success was scarce. But here’s the truth — we can’t do this thing alone. When we embrace community over competition we step into a place of power [which you know we love over here!]. In community, we make more magic and we create something bigger than the sum of our individuality. During this week’s episode on community we chat about… ✨ loneliness and isolation in entrepreneurship & motherhood ✨ finding community in different stages of life ✨ accountability + motivation ✨ small groups + masterminds ✨ seeking authentic community Episode Show Notes: www.rebelheartradio.com/podcast/episode67 Submit a Question for the Podcast! https://www.rebelheartradio.com/ask/ Connect with Cassie & Gen on Instagram: www.instagram.com/rebelheartradio

We’re all after that natural, healthy glow. And shine is a beautiful thing on your hair, lips, and nails — that's for certain. But that same shine on your face can get a little tricky. Luckily, oily skin tends to look younger and more supple because it has more natural moisture and is less prone to aging. We need oil to keep our skin soft and to maintain the moisture barrier which protects the skin from environmental factors. But too much oil feels greasy, looks shiny, and can lead to acne [although oily skin does not always mean acne-prone]. One of the biggest mistakes we see with oily skin is giving in to the instinct to try to scrub away all the excess oil. But here’s why we take issue — aggressively removing all of your natural sebum [oil] can actually cause your oil production to ramp up even more. Tragic — we know! That’s why Genevieve’s got tons of helpful tips in this episode on how to keep your oil production in check while continuing to support your body’s natural moisture barrier without all the s

Why don’t we talk about what to do when friendships need to end or be redefined? In romantic relationships we have break-ups all the time — in fact, it’s considered an important part of finding the right partner. But could you imagine telling a friend, “I just don’t think we’re meant to be?” I seriously can’t imagine this going well. But here’s the thing: sometimes we have to break up with friends. Like romantic relationships, they’re not easy to move on from. Ending a friendship can lead to feelings of failure and so much grief.

Why does conflict with friends feel so complex? It seems the same things that bring us together are also the things that make our relationships so tenuous. Friendships can be so bound up in selfhood and identity and when they end — the results can be devastating. And yet, they're seen as being easier to move on from, and not so wrapped up in failure or grief. But the truth is — it’s a struggle. This episode is full of real talk around ending friendships... ✨ struggles in maintaining healthy friendships ✨ feeling like you’re “too much” for others ✨ when circumstances & expectations don’t match up ✨ letting go of childhood friendships ✨ finding & losing identity in friendship ✨ the disconnect between romantic relationships and friendship ✨ signs it’s time to re-evaluate or end a friendship ✨ seeking personal development in an effort to improve friendships ✨ detecting imbalance in your friendships Episode Show Notes: www.rebelheartradio.com/podcast/episode63 Submit a Question for the Podcast! https:
