Ep. 75 - The Freedom to Just Be: Non-Toxic Beauty and Radical Self-Care I Bethany of Sainte Nel
About this episode
Dr. Kristian Edwards and Bethany discuss non-toxic beauty, self-advocacy, and the importance of reconnecting with oneself amidst health challenges.
What does it really mean to be free? In this episode, Dr. Kristian Edwards sits down with Bethany, founder of Sainte Nel a non-toxic nail care and wellness company for a rich, soulful conversation about authenticity, self-advocacy, and the quiet power of reconnecting with yourself. Bethany shares how a years-long health battle and eventual Crohn's disease diagnosis reshaped how she thinks about what she puts on her body and sparked the creation of a vegan nail polish line born out of personal necessity. From navigating a medical system that wasn't built with Black women in mind, to the radical act of simply being yourself at work, this episode is a reminder that your health, your freedom, and your peace are all worth fighting for. Bethany also gives us a sneak peek into her newest venture, Sainte Foot Sanctuary a boutique spa experience rooted in the healing power of silence and stillness.
