In this episode of Skin Anarchy, host Dr. Ekta Yadav sits down with Jenny McCarthy to talk about the personal journey that led her to launch Formless Beauty—a cosmetics brand redefining what “clean beauty” really means. What began as a health transformation for Jenny, prompted by autoimmune struggles and a genetic mutation diagnosis, quickly evolved into a deeper frustration with the lack of transparency in the beauty industry.Formless Beauty was born out of necessity, not trend-chasing. Jenny reveals how she went from frustrated consumer to full-time founder and CEO, dedicating herself to creating products that exclude over 900 questionable ingredients—phthalates, parabens, synthetic fragrances, and more. This isn't a white-labeled celebrity brand; it's a mission-driven line that has earned trust from immunocompromised users, including cancer and lupus patients.Throughout the episode, Jenny breaks down the problems with the current “clean beauty” landscape, including misleading marketing tactics, unregulated terms, and self-appointed certifications. She also calls attention to the alarming rise in young children using full-face cosmetics, urging parents to get educated about ingredients that could disrupt hormonal development.Jenny's passion and leadership are undeniable—from formulating a water-resistant, toxin-free mascara to hosting weekly TikToks to educate her audience. Her story is about advocacy, integrity, and building something she couldn't find on the shelves. Tune in to hear how Formless Beauty is changing the clean beauty narrative—and why it's not about hype, but health.CHAPTERS:(0:00) Introduction to Jenny McCarthy and Her Journey(1:01) Jenny's Health Journey and the Birth of Formless Beauty(3:27) The Challenges of Creating Clean Beauty Products(6:12) Building a Brand with EWG Guidelines(9:40) Overcoming Obstacles in Clean Beauty Innovation(12:38) The Importance of Transparency in Beauty Products(15:36) Addressing the Misconception of Celebrity Brands(17:41) The Impact of Social Media and Influencers on Young Consumers(21:15) The Need for Role Models in Beauty and ConfidenceTo learn more about Jenny McCarthy, visit her social media.

At the wedding in Cana Jesus revealed His heart and intentions toward mankind. He used the stone pots and turned water into wine. The stone pots were durable and not porous like the clay pots. They wouldn't add impurities to the wine. If you are willing God will change you from clay to stone so you can hold His Spirit.

 "Distraction hits us when we least expect it, but clarity is the anchor that keeps us steady." —Kristen WambachSHOW NOTESEPISODE HIGHLIGHTS Distractions can be visual, audible, or emotional. Clarity about who you want to be is essential. Identify what is important to you in the moment. Your next right step should be clear to avoid distractions. Distractions can be self-induced or divine interventions. Getting alone with God provides clarity and peace. Distractions pull us away from our intentions, muddling our clarity, and leaving us feeling unfulfilled. Whether it's a technical glitch during an important meeting, the constant buzz of notifications, or even emotional upheavals, distractions can derail our focus and peace. Kristen's message is clear: the real issue isn't the distraction itself but our response to it. "Every distraction holds a lesson. The key is not to eliminate them but to understand them." —viaK

Have you ever found yourself thinking... “It’s all been done.” “What if I start and fail?” “What if my voice doesn’t matter?” “What if it’s already too late?” If so, you're not alone—and this week’s episode of The Love Offering podcast is one you can’t miss. I had the absolute joy of sitting down with author and speaker Mary Marantz to talk about her brand-new book, Underestimated. In it, she speaks directly to the fears and excuses that keep us stuck in place—silent, small, and sidelined from the calling God has placed on our hearts. Together, we talk about how to move from stuck to start, how to quiet the inner critic (and the outer ones too), and why your voice does matter in this world. Mary shares not only the wisdom she’s gleaned but also practical, grace-filled steps to help you finally quit playing small and step into the story God has written just for you. You are not too late. You are not too much. And you are certainly not underqualified. Let’s stop sitting on the sidelines and start walking in faith—one small, brave step at a time.

I think the filmmakers had good intentions when they made SHIRLEY, unfortunately, they failed to stick to the essentials of storytelling. In this episode, Melanie does a fantastic job of illustrating what happens to a story when writers fail to create obstacles that progressively complicate the plot. (Progressive Complications are a big deal - you're going to want to pay attention to this one.) And I do a deep dive into the core event (aka the climax) and explain why it doesn't work and how you can avoid making the same mistake in your novel. -V.

How many times have you been stuck waiting for that magical lightning bolt of motivation to finally get things done? I know I have, countless times. But here's the truth I've learned, and it's what I want to share with you today: motivation is a lie we tell ourselves. In this episode, I'm laying it all out. I'm not waiting for some feeling to strike me before I tackle what needs to be done, and neither should you. Real change, the kind that sticks, starts with action–whether you feel like it or not. I'll be sharing some of my own struggles and the practical steps I've taken to break free from this motivation trap. For me, it became about more than just my own goals; it was about showing up as the dad my kids deserve. That intention, that commitment to them, became the real kickstarter. In this episode, I'm diving into: Why this whole idea of 'finding motivation' before starting is complete BS. The powerful realization I had: taking action actually creates the motivation you're waiting for. The simple, actionable strategies I use to get moving, even on those days when I feel like I'm dragging myself through mud. How focusing on the 'why' – especially the 'why' behind being a great dad – can be the ultimate fuel for consistent action. The incredible momentum you build in your life, and for your family, by taking those small, consistent steps, even when you don't feel like it. Look, I've seen the research, and it backs this up. Behavioral science shows that just doing something, anything, can shift your mindset and create that positive feedback loop. And as dads, we know our actions set the tone. When we show up, even when it's hard, our kids see that. So, if you're ready to stop waiting for a feeling and start taking control, this episode is for you. Let's ditch the motivation myth together and start building a life of action, one small step at a time. www.thedadedge.com/friday203 www.themensforge.com www.thedadedge.com/25questions www.thedadedge.com/alliance
