Summary

‘I dress down to be taken seriously. If I want people to hear what I have to say, I try to be as a-sexual as possible’ - My guest, Amelia, on how she conforms her look for her job in data science.

Amelia, my friend of 10 years and former roommate at Stanford, gets deep on this episode of the #nakedbeautypodcast. We discuss:

- Being white vs. being greek

- Her transition from a ‘guidette’ to a more pared down look

- How she cares for her voluminous waist length hair

- Dressing the part in tech in order to command the respect she deserves I also learn about:

- Moon cycles - Tea tree oil for acne

- Collagen eye pads to overcome a hangover

- The transformational power of a 10-Day Silent Meditation Retreat - yes, 10 days! Amelia opens up about overcoming depression by tapping into an active interior life.

Describing her mood after this retreat she says, ‘I felt so light in my heart that I felt like I was floating through life. I had an abundance of energy and freedom to do whatever I wanted’. We also talk self-love coming with age, making the effort in a long-term relationship and her korean beauty faves like Peach & Lilly and snail sleep masks (still skeptical). Enjoy & stay moisturized!
