Lipstick on the Rim

Today’s episode is one every woman needs right now — because if you’re feeling distracted, exhausted, overwhelmed, or like your brain has 47 tabs open at all times… you’re not alone.

We’re joined by psychologist, behavioral scientist, and author Dr. Zelana Montminy, whose work focuses on resilience, focus, and what it actually takes to feel grounded in a world that constantly pulls at our attention. And no — this isn’t about productivity hacks or doing more. It’s about coming back to yourself.

We talk about why so many women are living in low-grade burnout without realizing it, how multitasking and being “always available” is quietly frying our nervous systems, and why distraction isn’t just a kids’ problem — it’s an adult epidemic. 

Dr. Zelana breaks down how focus isn’t about grinding or optimizing — it’s about presence and intention. We get into simple, realistic shifts that actually help: micro moments of calm, rethinking your relationship with your phone, why silence matters more than you think, and how modeling regulation (not perfection) changes everything — especially for our kids.

If you’ve ever thought, Why can’t I focus anymore? Why am I so tired? Why does everything feel urgent? — this episode will leave you feeling seen, understood, and a little more grounded by the time it ends.

Today’s episode is a little different. Because lately we’ve been feeling it: the shift into your 40s and 50s is real. Friendships change. Your body changes. Your kids grow up overnight. And somehow you’re expected to keep up with all of it while also looking cute, staying calm, and being everyone’s emotional support system.

So we’re zooming out and having the unfiltered conversation about what it actually feels like to grow up in this stage of life — from navigating adult friendships (and learning how to set boundaries without guilt), to dealing with jealousy, comparison, and social media dynamics that no one talks about… but everyone feels.

We get into how to maintain close friendships when everyone is busy with work and kids, why your standards shift as you get older, and the “hard truth” that not everyone is meant to come with you into every season.

And because it wouldn’t be Lipstick on the Rim without some beauty + body talk, we’re also sharing what’s helped us feel more confident as we age.

At some point, almost every woman has the same moment: you look in the mirror and think, wait… what just happened? Your jawline looks different, your skin feels thinner or drier, your neck isn’t snapping back the way it used to — and suddenly your skincare routine isn’t working the way it always has.

We're breaking down how hormones actually show up in your skin and hair, why so many changes seem to happen “overnight,” and what’s really going on beneath the surface. From collagen loss and barrier damage to dryness, sensitivity, acne, thinning hair, and those random chin hairs no one warned us about — this is the conversation every woman wishes she had sooner.

We also cover what actually helps (and what’s mostly hype): skincare basics that still matter, in-office treatments worth considering, at-home devices, supplements, and how to think about hormone therapy without fear or overwhelm.

If you’re feeling confused, targeted by a million products, or wondering where to even start — this episode is your clear, calm guide to understanding hormone-related skin changes and making smarter, more informed choices.

If you’ve ever saved a photo of Margot Robbie or Sofia Richie as “makeup inspo," this is the episode. Celebrity makeup artist Pati Dubroff sits down with us to break down what’s actually in her makeup bag, the exact products she uses on Hollywood’s biggest faces, and—most importantly—how to recreate the look yourself.

From the red carpet to press tours to Sofia Richie’s viral wedding glam, Pati shares how she creates skin that looks like skin—never heavy, never overdone. We get into her non-negotiable skin-prep routine (microcurrent, facial massage, cold tools), why powder is the enemy as skin changes, and the cream products she swears by for glow that actually lasts.

Pati reveals her holy-grail foundations, her favorite blushes, balmy highlighters, lip liners, mascaras, and the under-$30 essentials she never travels without. She also weighs in on beauty trends worth keeping versus what to toss immediately.

Beyond makeup, we talk energy, wellness, and what it really means to feel beautiful. Consider this your go-to guide for modern glam, aging beautifully, and enhancing what you already have.
