To provide access to mental health resources, Maybelline New York will make a monetary donation to mental health organizations, of the guest’s choosing, in conjunction with each episode of this podcast.  

 

“I am so excited to be supporting Maybelline’s Brave Together initiative through this podcast and bringing these conversations surrounding mental health to the forefront,” said host Chrissy Rutherford. “Feeling empowered to speak up about our feelings and mental health struggles whether with our family, friends or in the workplace, is more important than ever. I hope that through this platform and our expert guests, listeners can leave with a feeling of understanding and guidance on how to make a change; both in their own lives and the lives of others.”
