Yo Yo Beau

This episode includes topics such as “why is Dena’s brain broken” and “how?” And crushes, dating, bad choices, competing with other women for hot guys, long romantic adventures ending in heartbreak and tragedy. Surprises, plot twists (you think you know and then BAM) and even a few spoilers for upcoming episodes. Let’s laugh, cry and realize everyone is just as messy as you are (including me.)

I didn’t want to add my voice to this discourse but I also knew silence wasn’t an option either, so I’m doing my best to speak to a very complicated thing and I hope it helps the people who God intends for it to by giving me this voice.

This 1:11 mini meditation is for when you need a little favorite camp counselor big sister mom love.

Hello, my name is Dena Smith. People on the Internet know me as the Leo with cancer, because I am widely considered to be one of the leading beauty cancer experts. The way that I have earned this title is by consistently advocating for the disruption of the corrupt beauty industry. Why would I ask someone who is struggling with cancer need to be told that I could be fixed by a make up consultation. The organization, look good feel good, came about with the best of intentions, but it would ultimately haunt my waking dreams. Join me on my journey to unlearn the dangerous beauty standard and forced on us by the patriarchy, what I like to call the goop idea. This is a true story of one woman diagnosed with cancer at age 28 who refused to not live a beautiful life despite surviving almost 8 years in chemotherapy. Now she runs a cult essential oil skin care line and A devoted online beauty called. This is her getting stoned and talking about the core tenants of her philosophy on beauty which include her evolution from a creature whose only value derive from her sexual appeal to men to the radical honesty beauty blogger and eventually entrepreneur in in the industry.
