The Beauty Ritual Podcast
The Beauty Ritual Podcast is about the intersection of age, beauty and identity in the 21st century.
This podcast was inspired by the last decade I spent behind the chair watching clients contemplate their lives and their relationships with themselves. Beauty trends come and go but what remains constant is our desire to know ourselves.
The Beauty Ritual podcast is for people who sit down in the salon chair, look in the mirror and think, "What am I trying to do here?"

Why Your Mirror Moments Matter: According to Therapist Kate Williams
In this episode we sit down with psychotherapist Kate Williams, whose path into mental health began in an unexpected place: behind the makeup brush. With a former career as a makeup artist, Kate brings a rare dual perspective—one rooted in aesthetics, the other in emotional truth.
Together, we explore how beauty rituals can act as portals into deeper self-understanding, the psychology behind the faces we show the world, and the tender line between expression and protection. Kate shares how her time in the beauty industry shaped her approach to therapy, why self-image is often a mirror for our inner world, and how we can use beauty not as a mask, but as a tool for connection, grounding, and healing.
This conversation is heartfelt, disarming, and full of insights that remind us that beauty isn’t just seen—it’s felt, shaped, and lived.
