Always so thought provoking!

From reading your writing I have radically reduced my “beauty” products. Thank you!

You write beautiful.

Thank you so much!! I hope radically reducing has brought you as much joy and freedom as it’s brought me :)

I just picked up "Who is Wellness For?" a few days ago along with a copy of "Skin Cleanse" (which I'm already 3/4 of the way through!) thanks to your recommendation :) I'm even more excited to read Fariha's book next after reading this convo between you two!

Thanks for this recommendation, Jess. I was surprised to see how young Roisin is and then to realize that she is not young (and that I am old). This post is very, very rich reading. xo

just wanted to say i appreciate your writing so much. it feels like so much current feminist writing is so uplifting or at least outwardly focusing that it's no longer challenging inwardly and you consistently have me reflecting and shifting behavior/mindset. thank you!
