What happens when your hairstylist becomes part stylist, part therapist, part life coach—and sometimes all three?

In this episode of Naturally Blabby, Tracey and Denise sit down with Los Angeles-based hair and wardrobe stylist Keenan King for a candid conversation about hair, identity, confidence, and the complicated relationship we have with our appearance.

Keenan shares his experiences working in the entertainment industry and explains how being a stylist often means becoming a trusted confidant for his clients. He encourages people to recognize that while a great hairstyle can make you feel good, a hairstyle alone cannot change your life. If you want your life to change, you have to take responsibility and make the changes yourself.

The conversation gets personal as Tracey, Denise, and Keenan explore the emotional connection people have with their hair and how that relationship influences the work Keenan does behind the chair. They also dive into the hair-product industry, the complexities of caring for different curl patterns and textures, and what it means to truly understand curly hair.

And yes—Tracey is not just the host. She's also a very happy and loyal Keenan King client!

It's a conversation about hair, self-image, confidence, and the realization that sometimes the transformation we're looking for can't be found in a salon chair.

In this episode of Naturally Blabby, hosts Tracey Anarella and Denise Tomkinson sit down with artist and actor Joanne Chew to discuss her harrowing experience becoming a victim of AI-generated deepfakes and image-based sexual abuse.

What started as a routine Google search after appearing in a feature film quickly turned into a nightmare when Joanne discovered nearly 2,000 fabricated, explicit images and videos of herself circulating across deepfake websites and tech platforms. Joanne opens up about the persistent harassment from an anonymous digital stalker operating under fake personas like "Ron Ripperton," the systemic failures of platform content moderation, and her fight to reclaim her voice with the help of forensic investigators and journalists.

Beyond her personal journey, Joanne shares critical insights on the dangers of unchecked artificial intelligence, the legal gaps surrounding digital harassment, and why survivors must never feel at fault.

Have you ever walked into a hotel room only to realize the bathroom doesn’t have a door? You’re not alone, and it’s not an accident. It’s a cost-saving business strategy.

In this episode of Naturally Blabby, hosts Tracey Anarella and Denise Tomkinson sit down with Sadie Lowell, founder of bringbackdoors.com, a consumer transparency movement featured in The Wall Street Journal, CNN, and The Guardian.

After booking a twin-bed hotel room in London with her dad and discovering zero bathroom privacy, Sadie turned her frustration into a global movement. Sadie breaks down why hotel designers are removing doors (from saving room square footage to forcing travelers to book separate rooms), how hotels commodify basic privacy, why consumers need to stop feeling like a "Karen" for speaking up against shrinking standards and how she uses digital marketing tactics like UTM tags to become a thorn in the side of major hotel chains.
