Wellness As A Way of Life for Women Building the Future

Feeling disconnected from your self-care routine? In today’s episode, host Megan Swan sits down with May Lindstrom—founder, CEO, and “skin chef” behind the cult-favorite May Lindstrom Skin—to explore how ritual, ingredient sourcing, and simple presence can transform your relationship with skincare and self-nourishment.

Key Points Discussed:

Skincare Rituals: How May’s daily practices center water, touch, and intention—even (or especially) on tough days.
Skin as Self-Connection: Seeing your skin as an invitation for intimacy, presence, and listening to what you truly need.
The “Skin Chef” Approach: Why sourcing, freshness, and ingredient story matter as much in skincare as in food.
Making Beauty Rituals Accessible: Ways to layer intention and pleasure into routines—regardless of budget or time constraints.
The Power of Ingredients: A deep dive into sourcing world-class botanicals (like blue tansy) and the importance of trusting your skin to real, nourishing formulas.
Entrepreneurship & Resilience: May shares what’s fueled her journey through setbacks and why beauty should reflect and celebrate real-life, real bodies.

TLDR: Skincare is less about perfection, products, or trends—and more about tuning into your body, intention, and pleasure. Make your daily shower or face routine a moment of gratitude, not just a task.

I couldn't agree more! Megan, I really appreciate hearing your viewpoint on the Mommy Wine Culture. I couldn't agree more; this is a growing problem few are talking about. As a mom myself of school age kids, it worries me that children are watching how their parents cope. I'd love to share your podcast.
