What if your skin could become a mirror for your inner rhythms?

In this powerful conversation, Riva sits down with Jamie to explore how our skin changes throughout the menstrual cycle—and how caring for it can become a practice of self-care and self-connection. From breakouts to sensitivity, Jamie shares what’s really happening beneath the surface, how to support your skin through each phase, and why even the skin “down below” deserves thoughtful care.

Together, they also shine a light on the deeper layers:
🧴 The hidden dangers of beauty standards and the harm they cause to women and girls
🧴 How patriarchal culture tries to erase uniqueness—and why true beauty lives in your warmth, eyes, smile, and heart
🧴 The intimate connection between skin, the nervous system, and healing from within

Jamie doesn’t just leave us with philosophy—she offers education and practical guidance too, including pore-clogging ingredients to avoid, trusted brands, and how to discover what really works for your skin and your beauty.

If you’ve ever struggled with breakouts, shame about your appearance, or the pressure to look “perfect,” this episode is for you. You’ll walk away with both the science and the soul of skin care—tools that help you reclaim your body, honor your cycle, and remember that your uniqueness is your beauty.
