Episode Details

The Soil Sisters welcome sister duo Kari Collins and Kelsey Kruzona of True Femme Collective to discuss the rhythm of nature and women. The sisters share their journey from a holistic upbringing in the 1990s to creating conscious beauty products. Kari and Kelsey share stories about their family's lifestyle transition, their father's battle with cancer, and their mother's influence. The sisters discuss the science behind women's monthly cycles, the value of phase-specific skincare and eating whole foods, when to fast, and the detrimental effects of dehydration and synthetic ingredients. We touch on collaborating with siblings, the power of a shared mission, and the parallels between human health and soil health. Explore the 'how and why' behind True Femme Collective's botanical body products - designed to align with women's natural hormonal rhythms to feed the body what it needs through the skin with hydrating, anti-inflammatory, and adaptogenic ingredients.
