The Beauty Industry Lied to You: Stress Is Aging You Faster Than Time | Uma Ghosh
In this episode of The Brave Table, I sit down with Uma Ghosh, holistic beauty educator, founder of The Uma Show, and co-founder of Pro Age Aesthetics Academy, to unpack why beauty isn't something to fix, but something to embody.
After building one of the Middle East's most successful television careers, burnout forced Uma to redefine everything she believed about beauty, success, and self-care. Today, she teaches women around the world how stress, emotional suppression, posture, and nervous system regulation impact the way we age, and why true beauty begins from within.
Together, we explore the powerful connection between face yoga, gua sha, emotional healing, and aging with confidence instead of fear.
