Ep. 72 - Skincare by CMG: Healing, Intention, and the Power of Loving What You See in the Mirror with Natasha Norris

In this deeply affirming and soul-centered conversation, Dr. Kristian Edwards sits down with Natasha Norris, founder of Skincare by CMG, to explore the powerful intersection of skincare, self-love, healing, and intention. Natasha shares her journey into creating handcrafted, love-infused skincare products and how her own healing process is poured into every formulation. Together, they unpack why Black-owned, intentionally made products feel different, how energy and attention transfer from maker to user, and why skincare should be a ritual of self-connection rather than a rushed routine. This episode is an invitation to slow down, look in the mirror with compassion, and redefine beauty as presence, care, and love.
