This week on Wisdom from the Wardrobe, we’re going Skin Deep—and yes, Stacy’s literally joining us from inside a closet. But this time, we’re airing out more than just clothes. This jam-packed episode blends style, self-care, and a little soul-searching in a way that feels both fun and surprisingly profound.

In the News: Dissolving, the New Wave of Wellness

In Bec’s in the News, we unpack a fresh take on wardrobe and life clutter: Dissolving. Unlike traditional decluttering, which focuses on what you get rid of, dissolving digs deeper into why you’re holding on in the first place. It’s less about tossing a sweater and more about questioning what that sweater represents.

The crew explores how this four-step process can clear more than just closets. It applies to your home, your headspace, and even your heart. Think of it as cleaning with clarity—a way to let go of emotional baggage as well as physical items. The conversation is as relatable as it is refreshing, especially in a culture obsessed with “more.”

Special Guest: Brook Kennedy of Suite B Hair and Skin Lounge

And speaking of cleansing, we welcome a special guest: Brook Kennedy, owner of Suite B Hair and Skin Lounge in Issaquah. Brook gives us the glow down on all things skincare, sharing pro tips that demystify beauty routines and debunk common myths.

From SPF facts (spoiler: the sunscreen in your makeup probably isn’t enough), to how skincare should evolve as you move through different seasons of life, Brook keeps the advice both practical and empowering. The discussion gets into dermaplaning too—does the hair grow back thicker, and how often should you do it? Brook clears up the misconceptions, leaving listeners better equipped to make skincare choices with confidence.

Style Meets Self-Care

What makes this episode unique is how seamlessly it blends style and self-care. Fashion is about how you present yourself, but skincare is about how you care for yourself. The two aren’t separate; they’re connected. A great outfit can make you feel confident, but glowing, healthy skin adds a level of radiance that no fabric can replicate.

The conversation also ties back to the broader theme of identity. Just as your wardrobe should reflect who you are, your self-care rituals should support how you want to feel in the world. Whether it’s investing in a timeless blazer or committing to daily SPF, both choices say: I value myself.
