The aesthetic industry loves to sell “self-care” — but what they’re really pushing? Hustle, burnout, and a whole lot of Botox-wrapped bullshit.
In this real AF episode, Auric sits down with special guest Jess Cole, fellow practitioner, ritualist, and House of Alchemy member, for a no-holds-barred convo about what it’s really like behind the perfectly curated façade of beauty culture — and how they both said “hell no” to the grind and “yes” to radical, embodied healing.
What to expect? Chaos. Truth. Breathwork. Laughs. And some sacred middle fingers.
You’ll hear:
• Why the aesthetic industry breeds burnout, not beauty
• The lies we’re sold about “wellness” — and how to break free
• How they reclaimed their power through alchemy, shadow work, and nervous system healing
• And what it looks like to rebuild from the inside out (no filters required)
This one’s for the witches with esthetician licenses, the rebels who are tired of hustling for worth, and the humans ready to break the spell of performative self-care.
Because beauty doesn’t heal you — you heal you.

What is The Tea with Auric B?
Welcome to The Tea with Auric B! Where self-help gets drunk, spirituality gets messy, and the truth shows up in stilettos.
This is not your Pinterest-perfect, soft-voiced podcast about “finding your center.” Nope. This is raw, hilarious, sometimes offensive, always honest tea...spilled straight into your ears.
One week we’re diving deep into trauma, healing, awakenings, and the masks that keep us stuck. The next? We’re talking relationship advice, slut phases, nervous breakdowns, and maybe even deep throats. From shadow work to slutty times, from healing wounds to hexing exes, from nervous system regulation to WTF revelations...nothing is off-limits here!
I’m here to disrupt the way you see yourself, awaken you to the bullshit holding you back, spark the transformation you’ve been craving, and remind you that life is meant to be lived in full-blown thriving mode.
So if you’re ready to laugh, cry, cringe, and maybe clutch your pearls while your boyfriend writes me a thank-you note, hit play, my dahling.
Because this tea? It’s coming in HOT!!!
