No Filter Needed: Honest Conversations About Beauty, Aging, and Authenticity

In this episode Julia sits down with two beauty experts to tackle a topic that's often dismissed as superficial but is actually deeply personal: beauty, both internal and external. Whether you're a minimalist who swears by soap and water or someone navigating the overwhelming world of serums, injectables, and skincare routines, this conversation strips away the noise and gets real about what beauty means in the modern Orthodox world and beyond. Julia is joined by Leah Begun, RN and NP, who specializes in injectables and runs her own beauty brand, and Elise Tabin, a beauty editor with 16 years of experience writing about every product imaginable. Together, they explore the intersection of confidence, self care, societal pressure, and the evolving standards of beauty in religious and secular communities.
