*** Sensitivity Warning***** On this episode of Everything’s Messy Podcast, I sit down once again with the incredible Erynne Erdtsieck, founder of Mental Skincare. After watching her mom struggle with depression and ultimately losing her mother to suicide Erynne is on a mission to recognize those who need help but might not know how to ask for it. Erynne’s story is one of heartbreak, healing, and fierce purpose. Through her pain she created something beautiful. Her mantra? “Small steps are big steps in the right direction.” And trust me, she’s walking the walk.
Erynne opened up about the years-long journey it took to develop her SPF lip care line—products born out of her own experience with lip cancer radiation and her drive to make mental health part of the everyday conversation. From lip glosses and scrubs, each item is tied to a deeper message. Even better? 5% of all proceeds go to mental health charities.
But what really hit home was her powerful perspective on self-care. It’s not just a trend—it’s science-based. Erynne’s exploring the neuroscience behind simple rituals like applying lip gloss and how they can positively impact your mood, your mindset, and even your nervous system. When your world feels heavy, these small actions create space for healing.
If you or someone you know is struggling with suicidal thoughts, please know you’re not alone. You can call or text the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline anytime, day or night. There is always help. There is always hope.
This conversation is your reminder that healing takes time, grief has no timeline, and strength comes in many forms—including asking for help. 💗
