It’s impossible to talk about the world of beauty writing without mentioning Rio Viera-Newton. While it may seem the stuff of NYC legend, a viral Google Doc in 2017 outlining her skincare regimen, and passed among friends, catapulted her to a career as a beauty columnist for New York Magazine. This week, she and Jade discuss the link between acne and depression, wrestling with disordered eating, the pain of friendship breakups and how to save yourself from a lifetime of people-pleasing. They also dive into Rio’s very unique career journey, the self-doubt and self-realizations that come with writing a book, and the weary load borne by those with a hyphen in their last name. 




To get a deeper look into Rio’s life (including her fabulous cooking stories on IG), and to see her beautiful new toothy smile, follow her on Instagram at: https://www.instagram.com/riovn/

Tell Me About It is the podcast manifestation of all the “off-the-record” conversations we’ve had with other women about things we’re taught to stay silent about -- from stumbling through our twenties, rejections, heartbreaks, fertility struggles, mental health challenges, mistakes, and the cringey shame spirals that keep us up at night. Host Jade Iovine and her guests challenge the idea of social media perfected lives and get very real about all the less-than-perfect and inevitable shitty moments we all go through. Tell Me About It is here to remind us that we’re not alone… and that the women we constantly compare ourselves to ALSO have lives that are far from perfect.
