Barb Stegemann is back to inspire us once more, just in time for Motherâs Day! Also known as the âPhilosopher Queen,â Barb is a longtime friend of our show and a complete force to be reckoned with in the beauty business.
Barb launched The 7 Virtues fragrance brand out of her garage in Halifax, Nova Scotia on International Womenâs Day back in 2010, after her best friend, Capt. Trevor Greene, was wounded in Afghanistan by the Taliban while serving there.
Barb then sowed the seeds of what would become a historic social enterprise and commercial success story, buying fair-trade essential oils from farmers in war-torn regions to make perfumes for peace â and now The 7 Virtues is in 2,000 Sephora stores around the world.
Tune in to hear about:
What makes a viral moment: why The 7 Virtues âSantal Vanille and âAmber Vanillaâ were the clean perfumes to pop off on TikTokWhy âVanilla Woods,â launched in 2018, was years ahead of the gourmand trend, and what makes it the brandâs bestseller to this dayWhat makes a fragrance âcleanâ anyway? Barb explains fragrance load, organic sugar-cane alcohol and a 24-hour wear test Why âStrawberry Jamâ is the biggest launch in brand history, and why Barb believes everyone wants to smell like layer cake at this moment in timeInside The 7 Virtues Atelier on the Halifax Waterfront, and a major scoop on Barbâs expansion plans for the custom fragrance concept storeThe Sephora full-circle moment: from taking part in Sephora Accelerate in 2018 to mentoring the next class of Sephora Squad creators in 2026âDragonsâ Den,â redux: the original pitch that landed Brett Wilson's $125,000 investment (a reported 56-fold return), and what it felt like to return as a guest dragon for the show's 20th anniversaryWhy being underestimated is a gift, and the Marcus Aurelius wisdom Barb has repeated to her kids since they were small: âBe prepared to meet the angry, the lost, the jealous, the jaded.

Is the âmedical tourismâ hype real? This week, weâre chatting with Los Angeles-based aesthetic expert and host of âMirror, Mirrorâ podcast, Amy Chang. Amy is pulling back the curtain on the 2026 K-beauty boom, from Seoulâs high-tech clinics to the âBotox disasterâ that changed her face â and her philosophy on injectables today.
Listen in as we dive into the science of exosome serums, the reality of Rejuran (the âsalmon sperm facialâ treatment everyone is talking about), and why everyone is obsessed with âliquidâ microneedling. Plus, Amy shares the internal health shift that finally cleared her brain fog, and restored Carleneâs skinâs glow, too.
In this episode, we cover:
As published in the Los Angeles Times, Amyâs take on why more than one million travellers headed to Korea last year for Rejuran, silk peptide threads and non-surgical facelifts.The top top 3 K-Beauty-informed treatments, products and habits contributing to Amyâs glass skin of late.The one thing that Amyâs mental clarity and Carleneâs glowing skin have in common.Everything you need to know about the TikTok-viral VT Reedle Shot: the âspiculeâ technology driving the Korean glass skin trend.A cautionary tale: Why the self-proclaimed âtreatment guinea pigâ blames neuromodulators for causing her âcollapsedâ lower face, and how she approaches injectables now.
