In this episode, Bobbi Brown explores the questions “What if?” and “Why not?”—her mantra for living with curiosity and courage. Renowned makeup artist, entrepreneur, and founder of Jones Road, Bobbi shares how choosing decency over drama and normalcy over fabulosity shaped both her career and her life. She talks about the power of kindness, the myth of “always-on” authenticity, and how the outside—our clothes, lighting, and even a touch of makeup—can support the inside without replacing it. The conversation also delves into bio-individuality in health, the art of reinvention, and why making small choices, day by day, adds up to resilience and joy.
