Unfiltered. Unapologetic. Unrelenting.

The podcast that cuts deep — gently.

I used to think I had to have it all figured out before I spoke up.


Not anymore.


Lipstick & Lacerations

is what happens when a woman starts telling the truth before she’s polished it. These episodes are short - 10 minutes or less - but they don’t hold back. They’re raw, honest reflections on the things we’re not supposed to say out loud: injustice, grief, rage, tenderness, and the quiet power of empathy.

I’m not an expert. I’m learning as I go — and sharing the questions that keep me up at night. Think of it as a jumping-off point: each episode introduces ideas and injustices for you to sink your teeth into, spiral down research holes, and maybe even start seeing the world a little differently.

Come feel things. Get curious. Stay human.
