EP 20: High Vibrational Beauty with Kerrilynn Pamer of CAP Beauty

Episode Length: 1:12:34

Welcome back to Season 2 of Our Nature with the authentic and delightful Kerrilynn Pamer of CAP Beauty. Kerrilynn is the co-founder of natural beauty store CAP Beauty and the co-author of the bestselling book “High Vibrational Beauty,” which combines mantras, meditation, natural skincare recipes, and practices with the aim of helping you achieve natural radiance. What I love about Kerrilynn is how open and real she is. She doesn’t claim to be perfect, to have it all figured out, but rather, she’s a work in progress, as all of us are. In this episode we discuss Kerrilynn’s journey to from the fashion industry to eventually founding CAP, how she defines beauty, why the word “natural” is often misused, elitism in the wellness industry and the simple practices that are free (but profound), how to be well when you don’t have a lot of money, what high vibrational beauty means to Kerrilynn, and the personal practices that keep her physically, emotionally and spiritually well. I chose this conversation to be my kick off for season 2 because I believe we all want to feel beautiful, and I think Kerrilynn does an incredible job of articulating what multi-dimensional beauty really looks like.

“I think beauty exists in all realms. I don’t think it's a one-dimensional thing.” - Kerrilynn Pamer

“I’m not a traditional beauty person, but I orient myself towards – how do you live in the world beautifully.” - Kerrilynn Pamer

“Beauty is not just about how you look, it’s about how you interact.” - Kerrilynn Pamer

“What you are doing every day is a reflection of who you are and how you feel in the world.” - Kerrilynn Pamer
