In this episode of Skin Anarchy, host Dr. Ekta Yadav sits down with beauty trailblazer Mikayla Nogueira to dive into the creation of POV Beauty—a skincare line rooted in K-beauty principles, clinical testing, and Mikayla's personal skin journey. From her small-town upbringing to building a brand from scratch, Mikayla opens up about what it really takes to go from content creator to founder.Joining the conversation is Nikki Sokol, POV Beauty's VP of Product Development, whose two decades of experience helped shape the brand's innovative, results-driven formulations.Known for her makeup mastery, Mikayla chose to launch with skincare—because, as she puts it, flawless makeup starts with intentional prep. The line features hydration-first products like Drip It, Drench It, Glaze It, and Amp It, each formulated to work solo or synergistically as a full prep system. With ingredients like fermented rice water, hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, and snow mushroom extract, the formulas reflect Mikayla's love for Korean skincare—but with the clinical rigor of Western labs.She also shares how POV Beauty stands apart from typical influencer brands: through transparency, real testing, and a commitment to quality over hype. The brand name itself—POV—is a nod to inclusivity, reminding us that beauty looks different for everyone.This episode is a candid, behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to build a thoughtful beauty brand in today's saturated market. Whether you're a skincare lover, a beauty entrepreneur, or just curious about what goes into building something from scratch, this conversation is not to be missed.

It takes a lot of courage to create a business that is in alignment with your authentic self; it's so easy to get distracted by the "shoulds" and what everyone else is doing.

Why do some private practice therapists have a waitlist, while others can't fill their calendars? In today's episode, I'm breaking down the four essential ingredients that actually create trust and reputation - not just in theory, but in practice too. We'll cover why staying the “secret therapist” is quietly killing your business, how perfectionism keeps you stuck, and the order you actually need to build your visibility, credibility, and authority (hint: most therapists get this completely backward).You'll learn a visibility move you can make this week, the one-month consistency commitment that changes everything, when to actually focus on quality, and the uncomfortable truth about longevity that separates flash-in-the-pan therapists from those with lasting careers.This isn't fluffy advice - This is the exact framework I've used during my biggest growth seasons, and I'm giving you the straight-up truth about what works. Stick around to the end for a quick homework assignment to help you apply this right where you are now.Topics covered in this episode:The invisible practice trap keeping therapists overlooked (and the one bold move you can make this week to break free)Why perfectionism is quietly killing your momentum—and the permission slip you've been waiting for to start before you're “ready”The consistency formula that transforms occasional interest into genuine client trust and positions you as the practitioner that everyone recommendsThe counterintuitive timing of quality improvement that most therapists completely misunderstandThe often-missing ingredient of longevity that creates a sustainable, sought-after practiceConnect with Felicia:Get my freebie & join the email list: The Magic SheetsInstagram: @the_bad_therapistWebsite: www.thebadtherapist.coachFacebook group: Healing MoneyQuote:"If you are a secret therapist, if you are invisible, then there is no way that you can build trust.

Join Richard in this week's episode as he shares the latest from his allotment—detailing innovative mulching techniques and smart watering solutions to keep his garden thriving—plus Chef Scott is back in the kitchen with a mouth-watering recipe: Olive Oil Braised Runner Beans. Allotment Update: Mulching Richard takes us through the evolving challenges at his allotment. What was once a peaceful field has transformed with increased road noise from a new bypass. Even so, his passion for growing food and adapting his techniques remains strong. Here's what he's been up to: Embracing Change: Once a quiet haven with open fields (and even horses), the allotment now experiences constant traffic noise. Despite this, Richard remains committed to his gardening methods, adjusting on the fly as the environment changes. Mulching Magic: Mulching is key to a healthy garden. Richard explains how he's refined his approach: Moisture Retention: A solid layer of mulch locks in water, which is especially important during long spells without rain. Weed Suppression: Proper mulching helps prevent weeds from sprouting, making garden maintenance much easier. Soil Enrichment: Whether it's nutrient‑rich compost, grass clippings, or cost‑effective straw (ideal for his potato beds), these materials break down to nourish the soil over time. Kitchen Garden Update: Irrigation With no rain since February, Richard is making every drop count: Rainwater Harvesting: He's set up 16 water butts around the allotment, prioritizing those attached to downpipes that refill quickly during showers. Automated Irrigation Systems: In the greenhouse, his AutoPot system ensures that aubergines, strawberries, cucumbers, and other crops receive consistent hydration. AutoPot Systems Vegepod & Quick Hose Connectors: For his raised beds, Richard has introduced an automated sprinkler system. With secure “wing” quick hose connectors and a timed 15‑minute morning mist, he's streamlined the watering process and minimized hassle. Vegepod Raised Beds Quick Hose Connectors By combining these smart mulching and watering strategies, Richard is successfully adapting to a busier landscape—and ensuring that his garden stays lush and bountiful regardless of the weather. Chef Scott's Recipe of the Week Chef Scott delivers a recipe that transforms humble produce into a gourmet delight. This week's dish is Olive Oil Braised Runner Beans, a recipe inspired by fresh harvests and designed to brighten up any meal. What to expect from the recipe: The Dish: Chef Scott's method turns runner beans into a standout plate by slow-cooking them with complementary ingredients, creating a blend of flavors that is both hearty and refined. Key Ingredients & Process: Ingredients: Runner beans (trimmed and ready), cherry tomatoes, cooked butter beans, sliced white onion, garlic, green olives, olive oil, water, lemon juice, and crumbled feta cheese. Method Snapshot: Gently cook chopped onion and garlic in olive oil until softened. Add runner beans, olives, and tomatoes along with water, then gently simmer. Introduce the butter beans and continue the slow cook until the beans soften yet retain their shape. Finish the dish with a squeeze of lemon juice, seasoning, and a generous crumble of feta that ties it all together. Don't forget to follow Chef Scott on Instagram. Final Thoughts & How to Support the Podcast Gardening is all about adapting, experimenting, and finding what works best for you—even when change is constant.

Market research can make a huge difference in your product offering and launch strategy, but bad data can be worse than no data at all according to my guest,  Lara Fordis. In this episode, Lara returns to discuss how market research has evolved in the CPG industry over the past four years, particularly with the emergence of AI tools that have made research both more accessible and potentially misleading. Lara shares insights on how entrepreneurs can properly validate their product ideas beyond the "echo chamber" of friends and family, highlighting the importance of getting feedback from representative target audiences who will actually pay for your product. We learn about the benefits of in-home use testing (IHUT), how to avoid common survey pitfalls like double-barreled questions, and why understanding your product's unique differentiation is crucial for success. Whether you're launching a new food product or scaling your existing brand, this conversation provides valuable perspectives on gathering meaningful consumer insights that can save you from costly mistakes and help you develop a viable market proposition.Find out more info about Lara's work and new course at http://fordisconsulting.com or email her at lara@fordisconsulting.comStop the endless research and overwhelm!
