32. Should "Different" Mean "Bad"? with Tiffany Stuart

If 2020 showed us anything, it is just how differently all of us experience the world. To cultivate empathy, we need to be open to hearing one another's stories and learning from everyone we encounter. This is the approach that today's guest, Tiffany Stuart, lives by. Tiffany is a Certified Holistic Health Coach, podcast host of What in the Wellness with Tiffany, internationally featured content creator, and wellness media journalist. Her mission is to help women bring wellness into their everyday lives. In this episode, Tiffany talks about how she views differences and why she is hesitant to have a polarized view of things. We also hear about her hormonal healing journey and how it led her to become a voice in the wellness space. As a Black woman, Tiffany is acutely aware of the angry Black woman stereotype, and she shares with us how she navigates this. Our conversation also touches on creating safe spaces for people to share their experience, the need to have those uncomfortable conversations about race, and Tiffany's thoughts on the postpartum period.  Our email this week (54:22) answers the question "which skincare products should I use after a midday workout?"Call Outs from the Episode: 23andMeInstitute for Integrative NutritionMelba Pattillo BealsLittle Rock NineLatching in LoveErin's Faces Soothing Aloe CleanserErin's Faces Clarifying Charcoal CleanserErin's Faces Tamanu Oil Erin's Faces Peptide SPF 30Tweetables: “A lot of times wellness folks don't think about folks outside of those who look like them, and I think maybe it took 2020 for people to wake up.”— @itsmeladygnyc [0:18:49] “Are the spaces that you're in, are they diverse?”— @itsmeladygnyc [0:30:16] “A year before I got pregnant with my son, it must have been God or the universe speaking in my ear, and it said, ‘I want my kids to love the way they look.’”— @itsmeladygnyc [0:51:37] Come have fun with us!Our private Facebook Group: Erin’s Faces Green Beauty GatheringInstagram: @erinsfacesEmail: [email protected] Website: erinsfaces.com
