Unabridged: More than Skincare with the Ladies of Forever35

~ TheStacksPodcast ~ Leave a comment

Today’s Unabridged episode is a conversation with the hosts of the self-care podcast Forever35 – LA writers and friends Doree Shafrir and Kate Spencer. They share what it’s like working together as friends, and the boundaries they’ve set around discussing their personal lives on the podcast. We also get into their sense of responsibility being white women in beauty- an overwhelmingly white space. We do not, shockingly, talk at all about their lives as authors or their books.
