My guest is Laura Mathias, the communications manager, campaigner and alopecia awareness advocate. Laura started losing her hair in her early teens and she admits that, as a result, she stopped leaving the house. As she describes it, ‘I completely withdrew and just gave up.’ On Instagram where she’s @relightalopecia, Laura has shared her journey with alopecia because that diagnosis in her early teens led to issues with self-esteem and self-expression. A wig-wearer for years, lockdown changed that when we were all working from home and had the option to turn our cameras off and this was a huge learning experience for her and it’s these learnings she shares in this episode.To join the closed Facebook group for the podcast click here >> The Emma Guns Show Forum.To follow me on social media >> Twitter | Instagram.Watch clips from the podcast >> Youtube | The Emma Guns ShowSign up for my newsletter here >> Newsletter.

In this episode I'm joined by Natassia Nicolao, or Tass she is known to her friends. She is one of the most exciting and forward-facing beauty entrepreneurs at the helm of a brand today. The brand is Conserving Beauty and it has already gone viral in Australia where the patented technology allowed them to create the world’s first fully dissolvable and compostable cleansing mask and wipe.If you’re jaded by all the greenwashing and tokenistic efforts brands say they are making then Conserving Beauty might be the brand you need to hear about. It’s the only beauty brand to be backed by Impact Funds and is lead by an all-female board including Elle MacPherson.To join the closed Facebook group for the podcast click here >> The Emma Guns Show Forum.To follow me on social media >> Twitter | Instagram.Watch clips from the podcast >> Youtube | The Emma Guns ShowSign up for my newsletter here >> Newsletter.

I detest these trends where 'girl' precedes a video where logic goes out of the window and the fact 'girl' is involved means it's going to be stupid.

In our conversation, he’s going to share his biggest risks, the obstacles he’s had to overcome as well as the excuses he makes for himself, even though he tries his best not to…To join the closed Facebook group for the podcast click here >> Th

Author and journalist Anita Bhagwandas has occupied some of the most senior beauty journalism roles in magazines and newspapers over her nearly twenty-year career. She entered the beauty industry feeling like an outsider, determined to take the white-centric, thinner-is-better ideal perpetuated in media and open it up into something much more inclusive.Because it sucks to be an outsider. And it sucks even harder to be an outsider for things that you simply cannot do anything about, such as your skin colour.Though Anita entered the world of beauty journalism in order to be an agent for change, she perhaps underestimated the impact the fashion and beauty world would have on her, a girl from Wales who had never felt as though she fit in or looked the right way. In many ways, she was throwing herself headlong into a world ripe to reject, dismiss and other her and, as I’m sure we’ll discuss, that was a part of her career journey she perhaps hadn’t anticipated.Her book Ugly deep dives into why we find what we find

Ruby Warrington is an author, journalist and publishing consultant and as she shares her life lessons with us in this episode, we linger on the topic of her new book Women Without Kids. Ruby and I are of a similar age and neither of us have, or want, children and that's something which still, in some circles, makes us a bit weird. It shouldn't though and hopefully being open and honest on this topic is the way we remove the taboo.Ruby's book Women Without Kids is available now.To join the closed Facebook group for the podcast click here >> The Emma Guns Show Forum.To follow me on social media >> Twitter | Instagram.Watch clips from the podcast >> Youtube | The Emma Guns ShowSign up for my newsletter here >> Newsletter.
