On this week’s episode and the last episode of season 1, Kendra is joined by Partnerships girly at Snap, creator, makeup artist and journalist Bita Eghbali.
While known all over the world as daughter of Iranian activist and singer Dariush, Bita is very much her own person of courage and creativity. We discuss her early career in journalism turned makeup artist, her connection to beauty through Persian femininity, growing up in an addiction-torn home, and how special our 4 yr old selves really are.
She sat down with us to chat about everything from Palestinian liberation to Scorpio men so get into it!

Trailblazer and all-around star Lauren had one of the most transformative years of her life as a founder who transmuted loss into gain, a model who became the first Asian-Canadian, publicly queer Sports Illustrated rookie, and an incredible human being on the brink of discovery every day.
She sat down with us to share her journey, and we discussed grounding confidence in meaningful qualities, finding peace in liminal and quiet moments, accepting loss as a necessary part of our winning season, and setting really good boundaries. This is a good one! Tap in - link in bio 🎧

A Hero's Journey with Kendra
We’re talking ancestral gifts, intergenerational trauma, and being a force of personal liberation. The eldest daughter performs necromancy on the lost magic of the generation's past. She becomes the new DNA for her family, her community, and the world at large.
Eldest daughter or not, cycle breakers are on a hero’s journey that will impact generations to come. This podcast is not exclusively about birth order or being a woman, though these are important factors in our work, but the conditions required for a person to say “enough” to familiar patterns that no longer serve, to step up to the task of undoing generations of struggle - in whatever form that takes - in order to choose ourselves and our joy.
What is the recipe to becoming a cycle breaker? Kendra Austin hosts conversations with influential creatives, tastemakers, founders, and catalysts for change who have the secret sauce.
