Hello, hello, welcome to another episode of She I was thinking about this today.

I realized we are coming up on four years of this podcast.

That makes me feel incredibly old, very not excited about looking back at some of the original episodes.

I even think like my voice is matured or changed or something and I don't know if that's a good or bad thing.

But anyway, I was just realizing that we are coming up on four years this fall and we are well into the 200s.

Yeah, the 200s in terms of episodes and that's crazy to me.

But anyway, random little sidebar there.

Today, I want to answer a question that I get probably every single day via email or social media DMs or something like that.

As I've just shared a little bit of my wellness and health journey over the last couple of years,

one area in particular that I've grown really passionate about is beauty and clean beauty specifically.

I think a large part of that is not only because of my own story with challenges with pregnancy and things like that,

but and not just pregnancy, Hashimoto's and Thairei's stuff and other things that were in conjunction with that.

But also my skin story and just the uphill battle, the rollercoaster ride that I have been on

when it comes to battling acne and hormonal acne and cystic acne and just all the things that are not fun when you're like,

Hi, so I've been out of puberty now for the last like decade and a half of my life.

What's going on?

And what's so wild to me is I never really struggled with that when I was a teenager or in the years that you would think that you would normally struggle without.

It came on like in my early 20s and it's improved a lot.

I've done a lot of work to tame that.

I wouldn't say it's 100%.

I'll still get the occasional breakout or flare up, but the consistency or the intensity in which I experience it is definitely a lot less.

So I've seen a lot of improvement.
