We're airing out more than just clothes in this jam-packed episode that blends style, self-care, and a little soul-searching. In “Bec's in the News,” we unpack a fresh take on wardrobe and life clutter: Dissolving.

And speaking of cleansing… we welcome special guest Brook Kennedy, owner of Suite B Hair and Skin Lounge in Issaquah. She gives us the glow down on all things' skincare from SPF facts (spoiler: the sunscreen in your makeup probably isn't enough), to how your skincare should shift with the seasons of life. We also get the truth about dermaplaning—does the hair grow back thicker, and how often should you do it? So, grab your gua sha and your emotional inventory—we're scrubbing the surface and what's underneath. Because when it comes to style and skincare, the glow must go on. Happy Listening!

Are the products you use every day poisoning you? In this episode of Super Life, Darin Olien dives into phthalates, a class of toxic chemicals found in food packaging, personal care products, medical devices, and even children's toys. Despite mounting evidence linking phthalates to hormone disruption, infertility, obesity, and chronic illness, these chemicals remain largely unregulated in the United States. Darin breaks down why phthalates are everywhere, how they impact your body, and what you can do to protect yourself. He also highlights Minnesota's groundbreaking SF 188 bill, which aims to force food manufacturers to test and disclose phthalate contamination for the first time in U.S. history. If you care about your health, your family, and the toxic load in your daily life, this is a must-listen episode that will make you rethink what you're consuming. Government Responsibility in the Spread of Phthalates Phthalates are chemicals used to make plastics more flexible and durable. Since the mid-20th century, they've been incorporated into countless consumer goods, from food packaging to personal care products. This widespread use is largely due to regulatory inaction and the prioritization of industrial interests over public health. In the United States, agencies like the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) have been slow to regulate phthalates, despite mounting evidence linking them to serious health issues. These include endocrine disruption, reproductive harm, and chronic illnesses such as obesity and diabetes. Unlike Europe, which has banned certain phthalates in food packaging and children's products, the U.S. has often allowed industry self-regulation, leading to widespread contamination in consumer goods. The Industrial Agricultural Revolution and Processed Foods The post-World War II industrialization of food production significantly increased the use of phthalates. As food manufacturing scaled up, plastics became integral in packaging and processing equipment, leading to phthalate leaching into our food supply. Highly processed foods are particularly susceptible due to multiple points of plastic contact during production and storage. Studies have shown that individuals consuming more processed and fast foods have higher levels of phthalates in their bodies. Minnesota's Legislative Action: A Step Forward In January 2025, Minnesota State Senator Heather Gustafson introduced Senate File 188 (SF 188), a bill requiring food manufacturers to test their products for phthalates and publicly disclose the results. If passed, this legislation would be the first of its kind in the U.S., aiming to increase transparency and encourage manufacturers to reduce phthalate levels in their products. According to Senator Gustafson, "Minnesotans have the right to know whether the food they are eating and serving their families is contaminated with toxic phthalates. My bill will help consumers make healthier buying decisions and create a strong incentive for food manufacturers to get plastic chemicals out of our food." advocacy.consumerreports.org Why This Matters This bill is crucial because it: Increases Transparency: For the first time, food companies would be required to test for and disclose phthalate levels, creating public awareness of the contamination problem. Encourages Stricter Regulations: Public disclosure could lead to consumer pressure for stronger nationwide bans and restrictions. Prioritizes Public Health: It challenges the longstanding prioritization of industry preferences over public health, acknowledging that chemical exposure is a public health crisis. Addresses Chronic Illness: With rising rates of metabolic disorders and hormone-related diseases linked to endocrine-disrupting chemicals like phthalates, holding manufacturers accountable is a step toward reversing this trend. Products Commonly Containing Phthalates and Associated Health Risks Phthalates are pervasive in many consumer products. Here's a breakdown of common sources and the potential health implications: Personal Care Products: Items such as nail polishes, hair sprays, aftershave lotions, cleansers, and shampoos often contain phthalates. fda.gov Food Packaging and Processed Foods: Phthalates can leach into food from packaging materials and during processing. Diets high in dairy and meat have been associated with higher levels of phthalate exposure. webmd.com Medical Devices: Some medical devices, including intravenous bags and tubing, contain phthalates to increase flexibility. pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov Household Items: Products like vinyl flooring, shower curtains, and certain furniture may contain phthalates. toxicfreefuture.org Children's Toys: Some toys, especially those made from flexible plastics, can contain phthalates. toxicfreefuture.org Health Risks Associated with Phthalate Exposure Phthalates are known endocrine disruptors, meaning they can interfere with the body's hormonal systems. Potential health effects include: Reproductive Issues: Exposure has been linked to reproductive problems, including reduced fertility. pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov Developmental Problems: Prenatal exposure may lead to developmental issues in children. pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov Respiratory Issues: There is evidence suggesting a link between phthalate exposure and respiratory problems, such as asthma. pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov Metabolic Effects: Some studies have associated phthalate exposure with metabolic disorders, including insulin resistance and obesity. pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov Steps to Reduce Phthalate Exposure To minimize exposure to phthalates: Choose Phthalate-Free Products: Opt for personal care items labeled as phthalate-free. Limit Processed Food Intake: Reducing consumption of processed foods can decrease phthalate exposure. Use Alternatives to Plastic: Whenever possible, choose glass, stainless steel, or other non-plastic materials for food storage and household items. Stay Informed: Regularly check resources like the Environmental Working Group's Skin Deep database to find products free from harmful chemicals. How You Can Take Action While Minnesota is leading the way, collective action is essential to drive nationwide change. Here are steps you can take: Support the Bill: If you're in Minnesota, contact your state legislators to express support for SF 188. You can find more information and track the bill's progress here. Sign Petitions: Look for petitions advocating for the reduction of phthalates in consumer products and add your voice. Stay Informed: Follow organizations like Consumer Reports and Clean Water Action, which are actively involved in this issue. Reduce Personal Exposure: Limit consumption of highly processed foods, use glass or stainless steel for food storage, and avoid products with "fragrance" listed as an ingredient, as it can be a source of phthalates. Active Petition to Support Minnesota's SF 188 As of now, there isn't a specific petition available for Minnesota's SF 188 bill. However, you can take proactive steps to support this legislation: Contact Legislators: Reach out to Minnesota state legislators to express your support for SF 188. Personalized messages can be impactful. Stay Informed: Monitor the bill's progress through the Minnesota Revisor's Office website. Conclusion Minnesota's initiative is a significant step toward addressing the pervasive issue of phthalate contamination. However, true accountability requires federal-level bans, a shift toward non-toxic alternatives, and a rethinking of industrial food production. By staying informed and taking action, we can collectively push for a healthier future. Bibliography Consumer Reports.

Can a single conversation radically transform a relationship? This week's guest on The Unbeatable Mind, former film director and founder of experience design studio ‘The Skin Deep', Topaz Adizes certainly thinks so. After years in the film industry, Topaz found himself asking the question, “how is the emotional experience of being human shifting in light of all this technology?” Embracing this question prompted him to found ‘The Skin Deep', an experience design studio formed to help people form deeper connections with the most important people in their life. Together, Topaz and Mark delve into the concept of deep listening and the nuances of forming deep connections through the power of well-constructed questions. Topaz details the transformative potential of sitting with discomfort, and discusses a topic he clearly has much familiarity with, the unique art of storytelling. The nature of human interaction runs deep and is multifaceted, but Topaz contains profound insights and asks equally profound questions—a skill that opens up infinite possibilities in which deeper connections can emerge. Key Takeaways: The Power of Questions: Discover how asking well-constructed, non-binary questions without an agenda can deepen connections and foster empathy. Transforming Challenges Into Opportunities: Dive into Topaz's unique journey from the world of filmmaking to exploring the ever-evolving emotional experience in a tech-driven world. Sitting With Discomfort: Hear about Topaz's belief that it's sitting in the discomfort of the question—-not the answer—-that holds the potential to unlock a myriad of possibilities. Creating Honest Dialogues: Realize how providing a space for individuals to have intimate conversations, whether it's in a personal or professional setting, can lead to healing, growth, and stronger bonds. Topaz Adizes is driven by a deep curiosity in human connection. What happens when we create space to explore what is really possible between us? How can we unlock the true power and potential of deeper human connection? He's come to learn how asking powerfully, well constructed questions in the right environment can provoke, challenge and shift the direction of our lives. He's seen this magic unfold again and again over the last 10 years in his work as the founder of The Skin Deep experience design studio and as the creator of Emmy Award winning {THE AND} documentary, video series, and card games. In today's world of growing polarization, algorithmic silos, abundant distractions and increasing rate of change, the power of human connection has never been more essential.

“Every time I read “Big” at a school, obviously I'm there to speak to kids about the story, and I hope they're all connecting with it, but at every single reading there is always an adult woman that comes to me and says, this is my story, I needed this when I was young. And I just wish we all knew that we were all going through the same thing.” -Vashti HarrisonVashti Harrison burst onto the children's book scene with her book, “Little Leaders: Bold Women in Black History.” But to hear her tell it, Vashti still cannot believe that her entry point for kidlit was through nonfiction. Perhaps that is why she took such care and tenderness in creating her first fictional picture book, “Big.” In “Big,” we meet a young girl whose journey feels universally relatable, even if her story is uniquely hers. The book earned Vashti many accolades, including the Caldecott Medal and the Coretta Scott King Award. But its profound effect on her personally was also a great gift and illuminating force for Vashti. A New York Times bestselling author, illustrator, and filmmaker, Vashti's words and artwork explore themes of identity, self-acceptance, and representation. In this episode, “Scratching the Surface: Vashti Harrison on Going Past Skin Deep,” Vashti reflects on how everyday magic and storytelling have shaped her life and work. She reflects on her childhood in "Only Lonely," Virginia, where she immersed herself in books and films and first thought of herself as a drawer. She also considers how she has navigated the complexities of beauty standards and body image over the years and shares the drawing contest she entered on a whim that led to a book deal in 24 hours!***Vashti's reading challenge, The BIG Reading List, is a curated list of books that inspired and helped her write “Big.” The titles are all about understanding and dismantling anti-fat and adultification bias and celebrating Black girlhood. Learn more and download Vashti's recommended reading list at thereadingculturepod.com/vashti-harrison***This episode's Beanstack Featured Librarian is Kat Gatcomb.

Reframe ‘Clean': Clean Skincare Does Not Mean Acne-Safe! Organic coconut oil = organic pimples! Even natural ingredients can clog pores.2. Get Rid of Pore-Clogging Ingredients: To build an acne-safe skincare routine, google ‘CLEARSTEM Pore-Clogging Ingredients Checker' and search for your products. Our resource will help you identify the potential pore-clogging ingredients in your current product lineup so you can swap them out for clear-skin alternatives.3. Simplify Your Skincare: You don't need an 18-step routine. Keep your routine streamlined and focus on product efficacy. CLEARSTEM has clinical trials to demonstrate our effectiveness in clearing acne. 4. Address the Root Cause of Your Acne through Nutrition & Lifestyle: There are many hidden internal acne triggers, like gluten & dairy, refined sugar & industrial seed oils, and even the protein found in egg whites. Dive deeper than topical skincare to reduce inflammation and clear your skin from within.5. Think Beyond Acne Prescriptions: Traditional acne medications and birth control can help, but these ‘solutions' often have adverse side effects that last for years. Our goal at CLEARSTEM is to empower you with in-depth resources that support your holistic well-being on your path to clear skin for life.RESOURCES: 20% Off Your First PurchaseClearstem - WebsiteClearstem - InstagramTake the Quiz: https://clearstem.com/pages/quizProducts Mentioned in the EpisodeCLEAR Skin KitCLEARITY®CELLRENEW® GOLDENHOUR OilBOUNCEBACK™ Serum MINDBODYSKIN® Supplement Danielle Gronich's Favorite Product List BRIGHTEYESMINDBODYSKIN® Supplement Kayleigh Christina's Favorite ProductSKINSPRAYGUEST BIOGRAPHIES:Danielle Gronich and Kayleigh Christina, co-founders of CLEARSTEM, are holistic acne experts revolutionizing skincare by tackling acne and aging at the root cause.
