Episode 71: Serums for the Soul with LaTonya Yvette

“Therapy allows me to truly live, to create, to be the mother that I am, and make room for other women as well.” — LaTonya Yvette

This week Doree and Kate dig into their current pop culture faves, from BTS and Ariana Grande, to a new Netflix show and some must-listen podcast episodes. And yes, Kate mentions Schitt’s Creek. Again.

Then they welcome stylist and lifestyle blogger, LaTonya Yvette, author of the new book Woman of Color. She talks therapy as self-care, finding joy in fashion, seeking out and creating communities as a young mother, why it’s okay not to be “over” things, and her current skincare obsession.
