The Clean Beauty Brand I Wish I Found Sooner — Toups & Co. Organics

I had the pleasure of sitting down with Emilie Toups, a mother of five and the founder of Toups & Co. Organics - a skincare and makeup company rooted in ancestral wisdom, nutrient-dense ingredients, and the belief that beauty should never come at the expense of health. What started as a single batch of tallow balm in her farmhouse kitchen has become one of the most trusted names in clean beauty. Emilie opens up about her journey from motherhood to entrepreneurship, how she built Toups & Co. from the ground up, and why she believes our skin understands ingredients from nature far better than synthetic ones. We dive into everything from the truth about "clean beauty" myths to how toxins and microplastics sneak into our everyday routines, plus the simple, practical swaps that can make a huge difference for your skin and hormone health. Emilie is a wealth of knowledge and it was so inspiring to talk and learn from her. This conversation is about slowing down, trusting your body, and remembering that less really can be more. Thank you so much Emilie! And everyone needs to try Toups & Co. Organics, the quality is truly top notch.Visit toupsandco.com and use code WITHWHIT at checkout for 15% off your first purchase. Please note that this episode may contain paid endorsements and advertisements for products and services.

Hi darling friends. I'm in New York AGAIN, fresh off going to the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show and deep in my own thoughts. I get into the feelings that come with being in the city alone and the overthinking that comes with too much solo time - it's this weird mix of freedom and anxiety that shows up. In classic solo fashion, I jump around from the perioral dermatitis that I've been dealing with, what's in my travel bag and my go-to travel essentials (Tide Pen FTW.) There's also some honest talk about money, living from a place of abundance without being too irresponsible, and the book I've been falling asleep to. It's a little stream of consciousness, a little GRWM, and ends with a note of gratitude - for the quiet, the chaos, and everything in between. This episode is brought to you by The RealReal, Squarespace, Magic Spoon, and Grüns.The RealReal is the world’s largest and most trusted resource for authenticated luxury resale - with thousands of new arrivals daily, no one does resale like The RealReal.

I am SO excited to share this interview with Ash K. Holm, one of the most sought-after makeup artists in the world. You've seen her work on all the icons like Kim Kardashian, Ariana Grande, and countless red carpets, but behind the glam is a story of grit, artistry, and reinvention. We talk about her first big celebrity gigs, finding her signature style, the business of beauty, balancing artistry with entrepreneurship, launching her own education platform, and the mindset shifts that helped her transform from working behind the chair to building a global brand. And of course, we get into all her tricks and tools of the trade - her favorite products, the makeup hacks that work the best, the mistakes to avoid, and a ton more! This episode is brought to you by Purely Elizabeth, The RealReal, Hormone Harmony by Happy Mammoth, Arya, and TOUPS & Co.

Sometimes the best conversations are the ones you go back to again and again, and this week, we are revisiting a conversation with Dr. Becky Kennedy - clinical psychologist, mom of three, TIME Magazine's "Millennial Parenting Whisperer", and founder of the Good Inside platform. At the time, I had discovered her work on Instagram during the pandemic, and her way of rethinking parenting was both eye-opening and grounding. We spoke about so many timeless topics: setting boundaries with our anxiety, helping kids sleep on their own, how to argue in front of kids in a healthy way, and what to do when you catch yourself repeating patterns you don't want to pass down. Listening back now, several years later, I feel the power of this conversation in a whole new way. Sonny is at a completely different age and stage, and so many of the strategies Dr. Becky shared hit me differently this time around. It's a reminder that parenting wisdom grows with us - what resonates in one season of life takes on new meaning in the next. Whether you heard this episode years ago, or you're brand new to Dr. Becky's work, you'll walk away with simple, actionable tools to feel sturdier and more confident as a parent. This episode is brought to you by HART Jewelry, Grüns, Tia, and CAKES Body. HART is a sister-led jewelry brand that’s known for creating soulful, personalized, long-lasting jewelry.

When was the last time you and your partner tried something new in the bedroom? What if the problem isn't a lack of love, but a lack of imagination? In this episode, I'm joined by Shan Boodram, Chief Intimacy Officer at Arya, to explore how couples can reignite that new-love energy, no matter how many years it's been. As both a mom of two and a certified intimacy educator, Shan knows the challenges couples face - the chaos of parenting, the exhaustion, and the way relationships often get pushed to the bottom of the list. That's where Arya comes in. Think of Arya as a personal concierge for your love life - taking away the shame and guesswork so you can focus on connection, playfulness, and intimacy. Shan is one of the internet's most trusted and sought-after intimacy experts, and we cover a lot - from breaking down the stigma around sexual wellness to exploring why novelty is scientifically proven to boost connection, this conversation was as insightful as it was refreshing.

This episode was SO fun. Vanessa Lavorato has been dubbed The Martha Stewart Of Weed and if you listen to this episode it is obvious why. She is an absolute cannabis expert, chocolatier, and author of the most fun cookbook to teach us all how to cook with cannabis in a modern, delicious, and responsible way. Vanessa shares her personal journey with cannabis, from an early curiosity to building a career around edibles that are as joyful and delicious as they are approachable. We talk about everything from how to find your perfect dose to her most memorable edible mishaps. She breaks down the difference between eating weed vs smoking weed vs drinking weed, her favorite beginner friendly low-dose recipes (think meatballs and cereal milk milkshakes), and what it really takes to have the best time with cannabis without going overboard. We get into the bigger picture of how the stigma is changing and of course, she answers some rapid fire questions about her Bong Appetit days, favorite snacks, and the edible mistakes she'll never make again. Thank you so much Vanessa! This episode is brought to you by HART Jewelry, Magic Spoon, The RealReal, Lola Blankets, and K12 Education. You choose your chain, you choose your charms, and you create a piece that feels like you.

In this episode, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Hart Hagerty, founder of HART Jewelry, to dive into her journey of creativity, travel, and building a brand that truly reflects who she is. We talk about growing up in creative households and how that shaped both of us as parents now. Hart shares her early adventures traveling throughout Asia, the spark that led her to launch HART Jewelry back in 2016, and how the brand has evolved into a customizable, high quality, and soul-boosting line that lets people create pieces unique to them. We get into the behind the scenes of jewelry - what "gold-plated" really means, whether "waterproof jewelry" exists, and what to look for if you want pieces that last. We also explore the joy of retail done differently, from the fun in-store experience of building your own pieces, to the bigger lesson of letting your business grow alongside your own evolving interests. This is a conversation about creativity, craftsmanship, and following what fascinates you - in life, in work, and in style.This episode may contain paid endorsements and advertisements for products and services.

This week it's just me, sitting cozy on my bed, ready to have a nice little catch up with you. With Sonny back in school, I'm feeling that "new year" energy and today, it feels really good. This episode felt almost meditative for me, so thank you, as always, for giving me the space for this verbal journal of mine. I share an update on our surrogacy process, trying CO2 laser on my face, some thoughts on talking myself out of overthinking when it comes to content and what I put out into the world, and how we should all be learning to protect our energy and enjoy what's right here in front of us. Love to you and you and you. This episode may contain paid endorsements and advertisements for products and services.
