Anna Brightman On: Passion Behind Humanising Your Brand

08/24/22 • 45 min

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.

Kristen Such On: Inner Child Healing & Self Application

Kristen Such is a mindset coach that specialises in helping women heal self doubt and build confidence so that they can live a more enriched and fulfilled life.

I loved talking to Kristen because she’s relatable, honest and an empowering voice for us to listen to. How she talks about mindset and healing kinda blew me away, she’s super knowledgeable but keeps it quite raw at the same time which is needed in a time where we are constantly fed information on self development and self growth.

She’s all about getting rid of the BS and gets straight to the point so that we can really understand how to take what she’s saying and apply it to our own lives in a realistic and healthy way.

We talked about anything and everything from how we’re affected by our inner child, self healing and dealing with trauma to making big decisions, self application and overcoming things that are holding us back.

What we cover

Finding your purpose

Soul & spirituality

Overcoming limiting beliefs

Inner child & healing the past

Self acceptance

Dealing with societal pressures

Here’s her version of beauty...
