In this first-ever panel-style episode of Refine and Shine, host Angelina Rivera brings together a diverse, multigenerational panel of powerhouse women—and one male voice—for a raw, honest, and eye-opening discussion on self-image, beauty standards, and how we show up in the world.
From pageant queens to health coaches, stay-at-home moms to public leaders, each panelist shares their personal experience of navigating appearance, identity, and confidence in a society that constantly tells us what beautiful should look like.
Special guest Kevin Brown, dating coach and researcher behind The Baby Doll Effect, offers the male perspective and dives deep into the psychology behind attraction, makeup, and authenticity. Together, the panel explores how media, culture, and even childhood shape the way we perceive ourselves—and how we can break free from comparison and reclaim our own narrative.
🎧 Featuring:
- Britany McDaniel | Entrepreneur & wellness advocate
- Kevin Brown | Dating coach & author-in-progress of The Baby Doll Effect
- Karen Diaz | Miss Route 66 & disability advocate
- Sarah Carter | Certified health coach & founder of S. Wellness
- Lisa Hagberg | Business owner & public service leader
- Kira Braun | Founder of Brighten Your Life & Kafé Through Khaos
👑 Whether you’re a woman redefining your reflection or a man seeking to better understand today’s beauty dynamic—this episode will challenge your views, spark new conversations, and remind you of the power in simply being yourself.
