Barefaced and Becoming
Welcome to Barefaced & Becoming — the podcast where we show up real, imperfect, and in the middle of figuring life out.
I’m Stephanie, an aesthetician, holistic nutritionist, and yoga instructor who’s still discovering new layers of myself every day.
Here, we’ll talk self-care, vulnerability, self-improvement, and share honest conversations with the people I love.
Together, we’re peeling back the layers, embracing who we are, and becoming who we’re meant to be. So come as you are. This is a space for internal wellness for external radiance — the messy parts, the meaningful parts, and everything in between. So stay awhile, get comfy, and let’s become together.

The Years I Said No: What Each Season Taught Me
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, I’m reflecting on different seasons of my life where I chose to say no — to habits, patterns, and ways of coping — and instead explored what truly served me. Each “year without” looked different, came from a different emotional place, and taught me something new about myself.
This isn’t a story about restriction. It’s about awareness, curiosity, and self-trust — about learning how to sit with myself without always reaching for something outside of me.
This is a conversation about meeting yourself without distractions — and what can unfold when you do.
