These two. Both getting ready to celebrate their birthdays this month. Both powerful beings and important influences on my work. I’m so thankful for them.

I have other priorities 👨🏼🎥

I was told when the reel I did this for came out that I looked like Sam Elliott and honestly I’m not mad about it 😂

2014 Bethany would not believe this. I started making this oil over a decade ago when it transformed my own skin, especially taming my cystic acne. To see it become a bestseller, and a staple for so many of you, is a level of surreal I can’t quite describe.

Try a mini version without the full size commitment and see what the hype is about over at MavenMadeRVA.com

Send a video and I’ll ship one for free bc word of mouth is my favorite and most honest forms of growth. Speaking of, I don’t pay these folks to post, they just do it because they believe in it. Feels pretty radical.

📝: What does being a woman mean to you?
💭: “The experience of being a woman is very nuanced because we’re both stronger and softer than men. Women are the backbone of humanity and hold a tremendous amount of power. I don’t think collectively we’ve tapped into yet.”

The threat of a frozen sky thwarted the first reading of our 2026 lineup but don’t fret, we have another lineup defrosting on the counter for you. We are so excited hear from these readers, some repeaters, another new. You won’t want to miss it. I promise not to mix metaphors in introductory remarks.
