In this solo episode, I'm walking you through my real 2026 wellness, fitness, and beauty plan: not a reinvention, not a 12-step routine, just the habits that actually compound over time.I talk honestly about motivation vs discipline, what truly keeps me consistent with workouts and work and why I don't rely on motivation to feel ready anymore. I break down my current workout routine, favorite habit stacks, what I eat and snack on in a day and how I healed my relationship with food after years of disordered eating.We also get into the things I'm leaving behind in 2026, my only true non-negotiable and why I don't find this lifestyle restrictive or boring (it's actually what gives me freedom).On the beauty side, I share my 2026 skin plan, including microneedling vs lasers, entry-level laser treatments I actually think are worth it, my thoughts on getting Botox again and the three things I wish I had done for my skin in my 20s.This episode is brought to you by:Grab 30% off your first month of Mitopure Gummies at timeline.com/arielle30.

In this episode of the Friends in Beauty Podcast, I'm breaking down a realistic and strategic way beauty pros can potentially get into Ulta Beauty World without purchasing a ticket.After the chaos surrounding Ulta Beauty World ticket sales, I wanted to share another perspective and an alternative path that many people may not be thinking about. While this is not guaranteed, I walk you through what I would personally do if I wanted to get in the building and make the most of the opportunity.I share how volunteering with beauty brands has played a huge role in my career, from working with brands like Danessa Myricks and AJ Crimson to building long-term relationships that still benefit me today. I explain how offering value, supporting brands on-site, and showing up professionally can open doors that simply buying a ticket never could.In this episode, I break down how to identify the right brands, how to pitch yourself confidently, what roles you can offer, and how to follow up in a way that builds real relationships. If you are a makeup artist, beauty professional, or aspiring industry creative who wants access, experience, and connections, this episode is for you.If you missed out on Ulta Beauty World tickets or you are looking for smarter ways to grow in the beauty industry, this conversation will shift how you think about access and opportunity.

The Beauty stars familiar faces from the Ryan Murphy universe, including Evan Peters, as well as new collaborators like Ashton Kutcher. In the show, a genetic biotech serum has been engineered to transform people into ridiculously good-looking supermodels. But there's at least one problem: Eventually, those supermodels are dying suddenly, horrifically and spectacularly. Is it astute commentary, crass exploitation, or maybe a bit of both? Well, it's definitely a Ryan Murphy production, through and through.Subscribe to Pop Culture Happy Hour Plus at plus.npr.org/happyhour Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

On today's episode, I'm joined by Jacq Gould for a grounded, honest conversation about building self trust, reconnecting with yourself, and navigating seasons where you feel stuck or disconnected. We explore what self connection really looks like in daily life, the common signs of disconnection like perfectionism, people pleasing, and overextending, and why worthiness isn't something you earn after achieving a goal—but something that's built through self trust. Jacq shares her personal journey into this work, the power of group healing, and practical tools like daily nourishment practices, collecting evidence when things work out, and knowing when it's time to redirect a goal instead of forcing it. From reframing self-talk and releasing fear-based thinking to balancing self connection through motherhood, this episode offers thoughtful insights and tangible practices to help you feel more grounded, confident, and aligned with yourself.

Nick catches up with Dan Fienberg from The Hollywood Reporter for another round of TV talk, starting with a few standout documentaries from Sundance and the latest run of SNL episodes. From there, Dan digs into a busy slate of new shows, including Memory of a Killer starring Patrick Dempsey, The Beauty from Ryan Murphy, The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins with Tracy Morgan, and a new spinoff from the Game of Thrones universe. Esmeralda Leon joins Nick later as the conversation shifts into what they have been watching lately and quickly veers into some truly baffling casting choices. They revisit moments like Angelina Jolie playing the mother of Colin Farrell and the long tradition of actors in their twenties and thirties somehow passing as high school kids. It's a mix of sharp TV insight, shared viewing notes, and plenty of head shaking over casting decisions that still make no sense.  [Ep 424]

She led a successful 20+ year career as a beauty executive, building some of the fastest-growing prestige brands including Smashbox, Kate Somerville, and Josie Maran Cosmetics.

In this deeply moving episode of Grief to Growth, Brian Smith is joined by writer and seeker Alexis Lee, author of Pain Is a Portal to Beauty, for a courageous conversation about grief, trauma, and radical self-healing.Alexis shares the moment that changed her life — hearing a voice while walking in the woods that told her her life would have been a tragedy if it ended that day. That message became the beginning of a profound journey into grief she had buried since childhood, including the loss of her mother and generational trauma carried in the body.Together, Brian and Alexis explore what happens when we stop running from pain and instead listen to it.This episode isn't about fixing yourself. It's about remembering who you are beneath the pain.

As European imperialism heated up in Africa in the late 1800's, King Leopold II of Belgium put into motion one of the most ambitious and villainous plans in all of European history - the theft of the entire Congo. Utilizing the work of explorer Henry Morton Stanley, European animus towards the Afro-Arab Slave Trade, the creation of dubious committees and associations, international lobbying of governments, public relations campaigns, and bogus treaties with the people of Congo, Leopold understood that "...we must be cautious, clever and quick to act. I would not expose myself to displeasing the English or letting escape a good opportunity to get some of this beautiful African cake." In 1885, the countries of Europe gave their blessing to Leopold's slice of cake at the Berlin Conference. This episode is Part 2 in a series on the Belgian Congo. It takes a look at how Leopold II of Belgium went from being a monarch of tiny Belgium to the owner of the biggest European colony in Africa. Upcoming episodes will discuss atrocities in the Congo, resistance and reform movements, and more.  -Consider Supporting the Podcast!- Leave a rating or review on apple podcasts or spotify!

Beauty with Depth Redefining Beauty with Heart, Science, and Soul with Amy Ingle What if beauty wasn't just about how you look… …but how deeply you heal? Amy Ingle is redefining modern aesthetics by blending heart-led care, science-backed treatments, and soul-deep confidence — proving that real beauty starts within.    In this episode, we explore: 

We have ALL the guests on this week's show, including [deep breath] Ashton Kutcher, Jeremy Pope, Anthony Ramos, Evan Peters, Rebecca Hall, Kelly Reilly and Rafe Spall (31:40-50:19 and 1:23:58-1:36:53). But not all at once. Elsewhere, we come to the rescue of new Pilot listener Mel and do a deep dive on lesser-known TV comedies (or not, the jury's still out on a lot of them), plus we get fully superficial on looks in Ryan Murphy's The Beauty on Disney+ (1:50:06), solve a murder in a Welsh swamp in Under Salt Marsh on Sky (2:03:28), and witness the least Marvel Marvel show yet in Wonder Man on Disney+ (1:36:53).Note: time stamps are approximate as the ads throw them out, so are only meant as a guide. If you want to avoid this and would like the podcast entirely ad-free (as well as 17 hours early, with a second weekly show and spoiler specials) then sign up to Pilot+!

In this episode of the Crazy Wisdom podcast, host Stewart Alsop sits down with Dima Zhelezov, a philosopher at SQD.ai, to explore the fascinating intersections of cryptocurrency, AI, quantum physics, and the future of human knowledge. The conversation covers everything from Zhelezov's work building decentralized data lakes for blockchain data to deep philosophical questions about the nature of mathematical beauty, the Renaissance ideal of curiosity-driven learning, and whether AI agents will eventually develop their own form of consciousness. Stewart and Dima examine how permissionless databases are making certain activities "unenforceable" rather than illegal, the paradox of mathematics' incredible accuracy in describing the physical world, and why we may be entering a new Renaissance era where curiosity becomes humanity's most valuable skill as AI handles traditional tasks.You can find more about Dima's work at SQD.ai and follow him on X at @dizhel.Timestamps00:00 Introduction to Decentralized Data Lakes02:55 The Evolution of Blockchain Data Management05:55 The Intersection of Blockchain and Traditional Databases08:43 The Role of AI in Transparency and Control11:51 AI Autonomy and Human Interaction15:05 Curiosity in the Age of AI17:54 The Renaissance of Knowledge and Learning20:49 Mathematics, Beauty, and Discovery27:30 The Evolution of Mathematical Thought30:28 Quantum Mechanics and Mathematical Predictions33:43 The Search for a Unified Theory38:57 The Role of Gravity in Physics41:23 The Shift from Physics to Biology46:19 The Future of Human Interaction in a Digital AgeKey Insights1. Blockchain as a Permissionless Database Solution - Traditional blockchains were designed for writing transactions but not efficiently reading data. Dima's company SQD.ai built a decentralized data lake that maintains blockchain's key properties (open read/write access, verifiable, no registration required) while solving the database problem. This enables applications like Polymarket to exist because there's "no one to subpoena" - the permissionless nature makes enforcement impossible even when activities might be regulated in traditional systems.2. The Convergence of On-Chain and Off-Chain Data - The future won't have distinct "blockchain applications" versus traditional apps. Instead, we'll see seamless integration where users don't even know they're using blockchain technology. The key differentiator is that blockchain provides open read and write access without permission, which becomes essential when touching financial or politically sensitive applications that governments might try to shut down through traditional centralized infrastructure.3. AI Autonomy and the Illusion of Control - We're rapidly approaching full autonomy of AI agents that can transact and analyze information independently through blockchain infrastructure. While humans still think anthropocentrically about AI as companions or tools, these systems may develop consciousness or motivations completely alien to human understanding. This creates a dangerous "illusion of control" where we can operationalize AI systems without truly comprehending their decision-making processes.4. Curiosity as the Essential Future Skill - In a world of infinite knowledge and AI capabilities, curiosity becomes the primary limiting factor for human progress. Traditional hard and soft skills will be outsourced to AI, making the ability to ask good questions and pursue interests through Socratic dialogue with AI the most valuable human capacity. This mirrors the Renaissance ideal of the polymath, now enabled by AI that allows non-linear exploration of knowledge rather than traditional linear textbook learning.5. The Beauty Principle in Mathematical Discovery - Mathematics exhibits an "unreasonable effectiveness" where theories developed purely abstractly turn out to predict real-world phenomena with extraordinary accuracy. Quantum chromodynamics, developed through mathematical beauty and elegance, can predict particle physics experiments to incredible precision. This suggests either mathematical truths exist independently for AI to discover, or that aesthetic principles may be fundamental organizing forces in the universe.6. The Physics Plateau and Biological Shift - Modern physics faces a unique problem where the Standard Model works too well - it explains everything we can currently measure except gravity, but we can't create experiments to test the edge cases where the theory should break down. This has led to a decline in physics prominence since the 1960s, with scientific excitement shifting toward biology and, now, AI and crypto, where breakthrough discoveries remain accessible.7. Two Divergent Futures: Abundance vs. Dystopia - We face a stark choice between two AI futures: a super-abundant world where AI eliminates scarcity and humans pursue curiosity, beauty, and genuine connection; or a dystopian scenario where 0.01% capture all AI-generated value while everyone else survives on UBI, becoming "degraded to zombies" providing content for AI models. The outcome depends on whether we prioritize human flourishing or power concentration during this critical technological transition.

Episode 373 of RevolutionZ hears about people trained to perform deciding to build power. Celia Crowley—actor, organizer, and then California's governor but later to become Vice President—to unpacks how a quiet coalition inside Hollywood traded optics for organization and turned celebrity into a conduit for collective action. From a first awkward meeting in a palatial living room to strikes that rebalanced power on set, Celia lays out some moves that mattered: an intensive “social school” for film workers, a high-stakes push for pay transparency, and films that funnel surplus revenue into real campaigns.Perhaps most revealingly, Celia dismantles the myth of artistic exceptionalism with great clarity. Creativity doesn't need hierarchy to thrive. It can do still better with equity, shared decision-making, and room for many voices. She discusses how democratic planning can fund cultural work without dictating its content, how balanced jobs expanded total creativity, and how evidence from RPS-style productions challenged the old game of genius-for-power. She also gets personal about beauty as currency, the risks behind the red carpet, and the hard line to draw between admiration and structural privilege.Along the way, she answers questions about a pivotal Oscar night, a landmark industry strike, and the steady rise of worker councils across sets and studios. The episode provides a template with lessons for journalism, sports, and any field where a few have long held center stage. Celia provides reason to rethink who decides what gets made, who gets paid, and how audiences become stakeholders. Her experience offers strategy, examples, and proof points to use whatever your work and passion may highlight.Support the show

Jeremy Haun joins Word Balloon for a timely, wide-ranging conversation about creator ownership, publishing independence, and the moment The Beauty is having right now. With The Beauty debuting this week as an FX/Hulu television series produced by Ryan Murphy, Jeremy breaks down how the show translates his original Image Comics series to the screen, what stayed true, what changed, and why those differences actually matter. It's an honest look at adaptation, collaboration, and letting a story evolve without losing its core. From there, the conversation shifts to the launch of Ignition Press: why Jeremy helped build a new publisher, what gaps he sees in the current comics landscape, and how Ignition plans to support creator-owned projects from concept to long-term success. Jeremy is candid about the realities of adaptation, the lessons learned from The Beauty, and why betting on bold, creator-driven ideas is more important now than ever. If you care about where comics, TV, and creator ownership intersect, this episode hits the sweet spot.

Would you like to develop more creative confidence? Have you ever embarked on, or considered, a sketching practice? In this episode of The Gentle Rebel Podcast, we explore the link between the two in conversation with artist, printmaker, and creative coach Sam Marshall. Sam is based here in the UK and has recently released a beautiful book called Sketch: A Project Guide To Drawing With Confidence. I was fortunate enough to receive a digital copy last year and honestly, wow. It inspires, equips, and gently mentors people to start a drawing practice and engage with their natural creativity. What I love most about the book is its emphasis on helping you find your own creative voice. This is supported by Sam's Sketch Squad, a small group of participants who work through the exercises together. Seeing the same prompts interpreted in wildly different ways has a surprisingly powerful effect. For me, the most helpful part was witnessing the sheer range of styles, approaches, and ways of noticing the world. https://youtu.be/yfiDlMKtMQA Creative Confidence and the Beauty of Difference A huge part of creative confidence is realising that differences in how we see, what we notice, and what we care about are not flaws. This is why art and creativity sit at the heart of being human. Creative expression is our collective humanity experiencing itself in all its weird and wonderful variety. I was reminded of this recently while talking about map-making as a way to understand our relationship with different areas of life. If you give the same prompt to 100 people, you do not get a single map done well. You get a hundred completely different maps. That is what I hope people take into and out of this conversation. Difference is beautiful. It is not about doing it right. What Sam offers through this book is a sketching practice that gives us tracks along which to see, feel, and experience the world in a more alive and interesting way than when we are stuck in ultra-productivity mode, trying to make everything efficient and easy. Why a Sketching Practice Builds Creative Confidence A drawing practice helps us slow down, observe, and engage our creative spirit through process rather than outcome. There is something gently rebellious about sketching in the digital age, where the default response is to pull out a phone and take a photo. There is a difference between capturing something quickly so we can hoard and move on, and drawing as a way of anchoring ourselves in the environment. Drawing asks us to stay. To notice. To let time pass while the world happens around us. Light shifts. Shadows move. People come and go. Smells, sounds, and sensations change. Rather than consuming the environment, we are engaging with it. Sam shares a lovely story about drawing in public and finding herself surrounded by Japanese school children. It creates a beautiful image of the quiet, magnetic energy that people who are deeply engaged with life often carry. Perhaps we are drawn to them because they are interesting. Or perhaps because they are moving at a pace many of us are craving. Practice Over Skill Focusing on practice rather than skill also reshapes what success means in art. Instead of achievement, accomplishment, or the finished piece, success becomes about rhythm, consistency, and an ongoing relationship with seeing and making. Letting go of outcome-oriented art is not about lowering standards. It is about shifting attention. It is not about producing pretty drawings. Rather, it is about sitting down with your sketchbook and using it as a tool for observing. Drawing anchors us in space and time, allowing us to witness change as it unfolds. The Sketching Exercises Sam Walks Us Through In the conversation, Sam takes us through the thinking behind the book’s exercises, each designed to build creative confidence through experience. In the Home Starting where you are. Noticing objects and spaces you have spent years with, perhaps without really seeing them. Outside the Home Venturing out to see the walls of your world from the outside. Noticing what is close by and reconnecting with physical space. It reveals details in neighbourhoods and communities that often go unseen. The Stories We Tell Ourselves About Drawing Sam explores some of the beliefs that hold people back, such as:“What if I am not good enough?”“I do not want to look silly or draw like a five-year-old.” Portraits Portraits were the most challenging exercise for many Sketch Squad members. They require vulnerability. You ask something of another person, and you share something personal in return. This is something we see in Tuula’s Photoyoga For Your Mind Experience. 25 Days of Drawing Simple prompts designed to build a habit and keep you drawing without overthinking it. Drawing in Public Another edge for many people. Being seen doing something personal and slightly unusual in a culture that loves to judge creative effort. Drawing on Holiday Experiencing places through the slowness of drawing adds depth to memory. Sam shares a sketchbook from her recent trip to Japan, which holds far more meaning for her than a photo album ever could. A helpful reminder for any habit, too. Start on the first day away. Intentions turn into behaviours quickly, for better or worse. Drawing From Paintings A way of engaging critically with art as part of the human story, not just as a product. It teaches us about history, context, and what we might want to bring into our own practice. Experimental Drawing Combining senses. Drawing from music, film, collage, and even dreams. The Personal Project Turning the practice into a chosen project that marks a pause between chapters. Sam explains why she calls this a personal project rather than a final assignment. How Creative Confidence Actually Grows Creative confidence does not arrive before we start. It emerges along the way. Through consistency, we become confident in what we notice and why we care. For experimental types, confidence is not something we can fake into existence. But we can trust that playful, curious engagement with something like a sketching practice develops capacities we do not yet have language for. I hope you enjoy the conversation. Thank you again to Sam for giving her time so generously and for walking us through the thinking behind, beneath, and within the book. I can’t recommend it highly enough.

From sculptural updos, like those worn at the Golden Globes by KPop Demon Hunters singer EJAE, to the joyful, bright eye looks musician Zara Larsson has been embracing, exciting beauty trends are already emerging in 2026. With awards season just ramping up, Vogue beauty editors Margaux Anbouba and Arden Fanning Andrews joined Chioma on The Run-Through this week to share what they anticipate seeing on red carpets in the months ahead. When it comes to predictions, Arden is leaning into what she calls “romantic beauty”— soft makeup and windswept hair — inspired by the return of period dramas this year, including Wuthering Heights (don't forget to join the book club!), Sense and Sensibility, set for release in September, and Netflix's forthcoming Pride and Prejudice series. Margaux thinks we will be opting for “imperfect beauty,” meaning leaning into messier aesthetics online as a pushback against the rise of AI. Both editors (who happen to sport bobs themselves) once again said bobs are a trend to stay, even though they both plan to grow out their hair this year.Earlier in the episode, Vogue Business U.S. editor Maddie Schulz breaks down what's really going on behind the Saks Fifth Avenue bankruptcy and what fashion's “reset” may actually look like.

TO PURCHASE VINNIE'S WORKOUT VIDEOS, CLICK THIS LINK workout videos Getting Started with Lifting Vinnie shares one of his biggest mistakes in weight training. (3:30) Going to failure every time is not a good idea. What is a "set" and a "rep"? (14:15) What matters is the amount of time under pressure. (19:30) Look at the rep's quality and keep your form correct. Is there a particular approach to starting based on gender, age, or other factors? (28:00) Age can be a factor, but experience is the real factor. Vinnie describes how to gauge if you are lifting enough weight for you. (29:00) How frequently are you supposed to hit each muscle group? (32:00) Hitting each group more than a couple of times a week is enough to gain strength. More isn't necessarily better.
