Welcome to Our Skin, a Personal Discovery Podcast. Each week, host Holly Frey showcases a personal story from someone who lives–and thrives!--while managing psoriasis. Being diagnosed with a chronic skin condition can throw anyone off track, but Our Skin guests have a message of hope: a diagnosis can be an opportunity to discover new things about ourselves, our grit, and our power. In addition to these tales of hope, Frey and her guests plunge into the jaw-dropping, bizarre, and occasionally poisonous chronicles of our approach to skin conditions – unveiling a history that's far from straightforward! They explore everything from ancient remedies like snake oil to modern dermatology breakthroughs. Whether you’re looking for inspiration on your own skincare journey or are curious about the sometimes strange history of how we treat our skin, you’ll find genuine, empathetic, transformative conversations here on Our Skin.

I'm talking about real wins (bye-bye metformin and metoprolol), fresh goals, and what it looks like to find balance in the middle of the summertime swirl. So grab your iced tea (or whatever makes you smile), find a cozy spot, and let's catch up.…

Hey, Hey, Hey Family!!! Welcome back to the Emphatically You with Candace podcast. January is almost over.

Hey, Hey, Hey family!! Happy 2025! Welcome back to another episode of the Emphatically You with Candace podcast.

In 1967, Jimmy Ruffin released, What Becomes of the Brokenhearted and Whitney Houston sang, “Where do Broken Hearts Go?” in 1987; Ya’ll heartbreak is a universal experience. Healing a broken heart takes time. It also takes God’s grace. God is able to heal your heart. This week’s episode of the Emphatically You podcast is focused on healing heart and soul wounds. We have all experienced heartache or a wound that runs deep. If by chance, you have not, I will say like my mommy and daddy used to say….just keep living. I had the pleasure of sitting with Keisa Campbell, of Beautiful Living LLC during Women’s History Month and we took time to discuss a part of her story. Keisa opened up and shared a part of her story as well as how she was strengthened by God’s grace. Join Candace as she shares this wonderful and heartfelt conversation.
