Summary

Enjoy this video podcast on ⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠⁠Youtube⁠⁠⁠⁠! In this special “In Her Skin…Care” episode, Michelle Lee, beauty expert and founder of Monologue, is back for an encore episode and is sharing a behind-the-scenes peek into her “skincare wardrobe.” Michelle Lee has a long and winding career arc primarily spent in the publishing world, including nearly six years at Allure Magazine as editor-in-chief. Then, in July of 2021, Netflix offered her a deal she couldn't refuse. She quickly relocated her family to Los Angeles and accepted the VP-Head of Global Editorial and Publishing position. As a result of burnout after a year and a half, Michelle decided to start her own PR and marketing agency, Monologue. The mission of Monologue is to bring beauty and lifestyle brands to life and tell their stories. Guest Website: hellomonologue.com Social Media: @heymichellelee Thanks for listening!
