Our Skin: A Personal Discovery Podcast Season 2!

We’re back! Welcome to Season 2 of Our Skin: A Personal Discovery Podcast with Holly Frey.

This season, we’re continuing the conversation about what it really means to live with psoriasis—through powerful, personal stories of resilience, self-advocacy, and finding freedom in the skin you’re in.

But we’re also zooming out. Each episode, we connect those lived experiences to the wild, weird, and sometimes toxic history of how we’ve treated our skin across centuries.

From ancient salves to modern science, Season 2 dives into the past to better understand the present—and to help us imagine a more compassionate, informed, and free future.

Let’s get into it.

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Your skin tells a story, and it's one that echoes
through time. I'm Holly Fry and this is season two
of Our Skin, a personal discovery podcast. Each week, we'll
talk with someone living with psoriasis about the challenges, the triumphs,
and the radical act of learning to love yourself in
a world that doesn't always make it easy. And then

(00:22):
we zoom out, because every personal story is part of
a much bigger one. From ancient herbal salves to snake
oil salesmen to today's dermatology breakthroughs, we dig into the wild, weird,
and often misguided history of how we've tried to care
for our skin. By sharing these stories past and present,

(00:42):
we remind ourselves that we're not alone, that we come
from a long line of people seeking comfort, dignity, and healing,
and that the more we understand where we've been, the
freer we can be in the skin we're in. Now.
