Episode Description: Jessica B. Harris may have been born and raised in New York City, but she has Tennessee roots through her father and has spent much of her life split between homes in the Northeast and the South – specifically New Orleans. For more than fifty years, she has been a college professor, a writer, and a lecturer, and her many books have earned her a reputation as an authority on food of the African Diaspora, as well as a lifetime achievement award from the James Beard Foundation. A few years back, Netflix adapted her book, High on the Hog: A Culinary Journey from Africa to America , into a 4 part docuseries. And I’m very proud to say that she’s a longtime contributor to Southern Living with a regular column called The Welcome Table. This episode was recorded in the Southern Living Birmingham studios, and Sid and Jessica talked about her mother’s signature mac and cheese, the cast-iron skillet she’d be sure to save if ever her house were on fire, and her dear friend, the late New Orleans chef Leah Chase.

This summer, we’re diving deep into ingredient literacy to build discernment. In this short intro episode, I’m setting the stage for a new summer series where each week, I’ll unpack one skincare ingredient through a holistic lens. You’ll learn not only what the ingredient does, but why it’s used, how it interacts with the skin, and how to start thinking more critically about your products. This series is for both consumers who want to feel more connected to their skin and estheticians who want to deepen their education beyond protocols and product hype. I’ll also touch on: Why reading an ingredient list is helpful, but not the whole story The difference between ingredients that sit on, penetrate, and absorb into the skin How ingredient quality and energetic vitality matter just as much as the INCI name Why I believe skincare should empower, not create dependency How to start recognizing the difference between barrier-supportive skincare and trend-driven marketing If you've ever looked at a label and wondered if a product was actually good for your skin, or felt overwhelmed by conflicting skincare advice, this series is for you. 🔍 Want me to cover a specific ingredient? Send me a message on Instagram @stratumaesthetics or email me. I'm covering both herbal and earth-based ingredients, as well as lab-derived actives, always through a holistic, barrier-focused lens. 📬 Stay Connected Instagram: @stratumaesthetics Website: stratumaesthetics.com Email: emily@stratumaesthetics.com…

I’m sharing why a nourishing kitchen setup is one of the most underrated skin-care tools you can have.

Clean skincare is everywhere. But what if clean isn’t enough? In this episode, I’m breaking down one of the biggest misconceptions in the beauty world: that clean, natural, or non-toxic skincare automatically equals good skincare. Spoiler alert—it doesn’t.

This is part two of our deep dive into the liver-skin connection, where we move beyond theory and get into practical, sustainable ways to support your liver—without extreme cleanses or gimmicky detoxes. Last week, we explored how the liver influences the skin, from hormonal acne and inflammation to premature aging. We also talked about the liver’s emotional connection, particularly how anger, frustration, and stress can physically manifest when the liver is stagnant. Today’s episode is all about action—concrete steps you can take to optimize your liver’s detox pathways, support hormonal balance, and improve skin clarity. ✨ Takeaway: There’s no “one right way” to support the liver—it’s about small, sustainable shifts that work for you. 🎧 Listen now and learn how to naturally support your liver for radiant skin! 👉 Want a guided framework for skin healing from the inside out?

Spring is liver season in many traditional medicine systems, and if you've been noticing more breakouts along your jawline, there’s a reason for that. Your liver plays a major role in hormone balance, detoxification, and even how your skin ages—but there’s a lot of confusion about what this actually means. In today’s episode, I’m cutting through the noise to talk about: 🌿 Why spring is the season of the liver (and what this means for your skin) 💛 How the liver affects hormonal acne, inflammation, and even aging ⚖️ Why the skin isn’t “pushing out toxins” (and what’s really happening instead) 🧘♀️ The connection between the liver, emotions, and stress (ever felt extra irritable in the spring?) 😮💨 The surprising way sighing supports liver function & skin health This is part 1 of a two-part series! Next week, I’ll be covering practical, sustainable ways to support your liver—including foods, herbs, and even the famous (or infamous) coffee enema conversation.
