About Me:
My mission is to help people everywhere become their BEST SELVES and become a version of themselves that they love being every single day. Delving deep and practising self growth and self improvement has helped to transform my life. It took me from being the shy, insecure, unmotivated girl who was always in a rut if self pity and wallowing to being the woman who prioritises herself everyday, her career, is kind & loving, achieves my goals, solo dates, feels fulfilled when alone AND has a newfound confidence. My life has transformed since I stopped looking outwards and blaming the world and started to look inwards at how to fulfil and love myself.

How to be happy with Lauren Robson
How To Be
05/12/24 • 60 min
Lauren is a freelance fashion designer and Director of Friday’s Child Studio who has set her heart being the best version of herself.
We have a long chat about Lauren’s journey of growth and coming into her own in all areas of her life including mindset, self love, career, finances & relationships . Throughout this episode Lauren shares so many relatable mindset traits in how she’s managed to overcome challenges that most of us face as women growing up in a social first world being obsessed with self comparison and having to be more than we currently are.
I wanted to record this episode because SO many of us struggle to break the cycle of self criticism, self sabotage and being perfect. Lauren is such a good example of someone who has really pushed herself to come into her own, to stop listening to what society tells her to be and focuses on who she wants to be and what she wants to achieve.
I genuinely hope you find inspiration in listening to this and take away hope in that being you is all you ever need to be!
What we cover
Finding mindfulness
The benefits of therapy
Having an eating disorder / Overcoming bulimia
Importance of being true to yourself
How to find yourself
How to be magnetic
Practising gratitude

Rikki Sandhu, a content creator in the beauty space that has huge audiences across Instagram, TikTok & YouTube.
Rikki initially started posted about beauty products and hacks but has evolved into talking more and more about authentic beauty and not hiding from your imperfections. She uses her platform as a tool to empower young girls and women to rid of the need to get rid of desire to constantly change themselves and to accepting themselves exactly as they are.
Rikki is a true breathe of fresh air, she’s so focussed on normalising being normal which is super important in a space where we’re all trying to navigate the overwhelming feeling of beauty and social media. She is someone who is vulnerable to her audiences which in turns creates a safe space for her community.
We talked loads about Rikki’s relationship with social media which I found fascinating to listen to as well as her views on body trends, self comparison, insecurities and mental health.
What we cover
Cultural beauty
Rikki’s purpose
Normalising normal
Self reflection
Diversity in beauty
Body Image
Shame and building confidence

Danny Defreitas is a beauty influencer and content creator who shares fun and playful content across his socials.

We talk about being a male in the beauty space, the reality of being a content creator and everything in between.
He is gorgeous not only aesthetically but within his soul too. Danny genuinely loves his audience, he is here to serve exciting, fun, lighthearted content every single day and this episode is no different.
What we cover
Taking risks to follow your dreams
Depth of beauty
Real life of a beauty influencer
Importance of having fun
Feeling confident in your skin
Being a boy in beauty

This weeks episode is with Anna Brightman, the Co-founder of Up Circle which is a skincare brand that uses upcycled ingredients to deliver high quality skincare.
A really interesting chat with Anna, of course she shares the story of how she and her brother, Will built the brand but we have a really good chat about how they keep Up Circle so real, human and why they share more than just success stories.
I try to have a different approach when it comes to interviewing brand founders, I’m a firm believer of brands being born from people so we dug deep into Anna’s story and background of where her love of beauty came from and interestingly, her passion for makeup.
If you haven’t tried Up Circle’s products I recommend giving them a go. I was initially quite sceptical, especially about coffee as a skincare ingredient but was pleasantly surprised and have continued to use their products.
Listen until the end because Anna gives us some great skincare tips and I ask the simple skincare questions that we’re sometimes too shy to ask.
Up Circle have kindly given the Scenes Of Beauty listeners 20% off their products with code SENSESB20.
T&Cs
- 20% off entire order
- Minimum purchase of £15.00
- One use per customer
What we cover:
Why coffee is good for our skin
How to humanise your brand
Upcycling & sourcing ingredients
Overcoming fear and doubt
Power of makeup
Skincare tips
