| Crown Collective š: A Conversation with Selena B. | 25 Mar 2026 | 00:20:23 | |
Description: In this minisode of Accessibly Ever After, weāre joined by Selena, an occupational therapist and doctoral student specializing in accessibility in the beauty industry. Selena shares her journey through a non-traditional OT path and how her clinical perspective intersects with beauty, product design, and disability advocacy. Together, we explore the real gaps in accessible beauty products, from packaging and usability to representation in marketing and brand messaging. We dive into why accessible beauty is not a niche, but a necessity, especially for disabled, chronically ill, and neurodivergent consumers who are often overlooked in product development. Selena breaks down how occupational therapy principles like ergonomics, fine motor support, and energy conservation can directly inform more inclusive beauty design. We also talk about the role OTs can play in consulting with brands, improving accessibility standards, and advocating for more inclusive systems across the beauty industry. If you care about accessible beauty, inclusive product design, disability representation, and the future of beauty innovation, this episode is for you. Whether youāre a beauty lover, content creator, occupational therapist, or brand professional, this conversation offers practical insights and a fresh perspective on how we can build a more inclusive beauty space.

| Snow days, Wuthering Heights, & Beauty Products You Still Canāt Open | 03 Apr 2026 | 00:50:08 | |
What do snow days, Wuthering Heights, and accessible beauty have in common? Somehowā¦ everything. In this episode of Accessibly Ever After, Ashton McGrady and Kailey Waskall are catching up on life, from weekly highs and lows to navigating things like dental health, chronic illness, and the reality of energy levels in everyday routines.

Weāre diving into new beauty launches and trending products from brands like Fenty Hair, Westman Atelier, Patrick Ta, and Dibs Beauty, breaking down not just what they are, but how they function. Because a product can be beautiful, viral, and still completely inaccessible. From pump design and packaging ergonomics to in-store accessibility at places like Ulta, weāre talking about what works and what doesnāt. We also get into the importance of representation in media, the need for more joyful and colorful makeup, and why accessibility isnāt a bonus feature, itās the baseline.

In this episode of Accessibly Ever After, Kailey and Ashton sit down with content creator Giovanna (@glamgio_nyc) to talk bold beauty, graphic liner, and making space for neurodivergent creativity in the beauty industry. Giovanna has built a following of over 170k, known for her signature graphic liner looks and colorful, unexpected makeup pairings that break away from traditional glam formulas. Giovanna opens up about her own neurodivergence and how it shapes the way she approaches makeup as a form of self-expression and storytelling. She digs into how bold, experimental beauty can be a tool for confidence and identity, especially for those who don't see themselves reflected in mainstream beauty. She also talks about how overwhelming and stressful brand events can be, the sensory and social demands that often go unspoken, and what she wishes brands understood about creating a more accommodating experience.

| Deep Into The Well: Luna Daily | 24 Jul 2026 | 00:25:12 | |
This week on Accessibly Ever After, Ashton and Kailey continue their brand deep dive series with Luna Daily, the microbiome-focused bodycare brand founded by Katy Cottam after her own experience with thrush following a course of antibiotics left her unable to use mainstream products on her most intimate skin. Ashton and Kailey dig into Luna Daily's mission to take intimate care out of the "feminine hygiene" aisle and into the everyday skincare conversation, and what accessible bodycare actually looks like for people managing chronic illness and disability. They also get into the practical side: what a lower-effort, one-step skincare product means on a low-spoon day, and where the brand could go further to meet chronically ill and disabled customers where they are. Is Luna Daily's mission to destigmatize intimate care backed up by accessible product design that holds up for chronic illness and disability, or is there still work to do?

| Crown Collective š: A Conversation with Dr. Julian Sass | 15 Jul 2026 | 00:38:20 | |
In this episode of Accessibly Ever After, Kailey and Ashton sit down with cosmetic scientist and creator Dr. Julian Sass to unpack the science behind beauty products, sunscreen, and formulation. Dr. Sass holds a PhD in Biomathematics and Statistics from North Carolina State University and has spent his career translating complex cosmetic science for everyday consumers, a body of work that's been featured in outlets such as The Washington Post, Vogue, and Today. He's also the creator of a widely respected sunscreen database of over 500 products, built to help people, especially those with darker skin tones, find sun protection that truly works. From how products are actually developed to why so many sunscreens sting the eyes or feel unpleasant on the skin, Dr. Sass breaks down complex topics in a way that's clear, funny, and actually helpful. He digs into what consumers often misunderstand about sunscreen safety, why nuance matters when discussing "harmful" ingredients, and how brands can build more inclusive products from the very beginning of the development process. Dr. Sass also shares what true accessibility looks like in beauty, why packaging matters more than most people realize, and how small design choices can make a huge difference for disabled and everyday consumers alike.

First up is Tilt Beauty, the makeup line founded by Aerin Glazer after her own struggles with psoriatic arthritis inspired her to build something better. Ashton and Kailey put Tilt's ergonomic, refillable packaging to the test, breaking down what actually works (and what doesn't) for people with arthritis, chronic pain, low vision, and limited hand strength. They dig into the brand's Arthritis Foundation Ease of Use certification, the shortened mascara wand designed for shaky hands, the magnetic closures, the Braille packaging, and the Atkinson Hyperlegible font choice. Is Tilt Beauty the real deal for disabled and chronically ill makeup lovers, or just another brand riding the accessibility trend? Tune in for an honest, product-by-product accessibility review.

| Grip It or Skip It: New Beauty Launches, Rated | 14 Aug 2026 | 00:39:34 | |
Beauty was never designed with Disabled people in mind, but that doesn't mean Disabled beauty lovers are settling. This week, Kailey and Ashton break down the newest launches through an accessibility-first lens, from packaging that actually works in real hands to design choices that make a routine easier or impossible. The episode kicks off with two relatable disasters: a salt-shaker explosion at the movies and a coffee spill topped off with a bonk to the head. They're chatting why Rare Beauty's fragrance line (including the new Rare Beginnings EDP) is one of the most accessible in beauty, what makes Makeup by Mario's cream shadow promising for easy eye looks, and where e.l.f. x Bubble, Kylie Cosmetics' Moodstones, and Touchland x Troublemaker get it right or miss the mark, plus the latest Sol de Janeiro mists and a complexion launch sparking undertone debate. Perfect for anyone who wants to know what's actually worth your money, your time, and your spoons. Heads up: Some of the links below are affiliate links.

In this episode of Accessibly Ever After, Kailey and Ashton sit down with Brooke Parrish, a content creator and disability advocate born with Pfeiffer syndrome, a rare genetic condition that affects the bones of the skull, face, and limbs. Brooke spent years trying to hide her facial difference growing up, and today she is the creator behind @flourishinglydifferent, sharing her life with over 450K followers across TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube. Together they unpack what it means to show up fully in beauty spaces that have historically excluded visible disabilities, and why representation matters so much. You'll hear Brooke talk about becoming the person she once needed to see online, how she handles everything from intrusive questions to well-intentioned comments that still land wrong, and how she filters out negativity without letting it take over her community. Ashton and Kailey also get real about internalized ableism and the difference between educating out of obligation and choosing when and how to respond. They also dig into what accessible beauty packaging actually looks like, from longer product designs to doe-foot applicators, and why brands need more than vague claims of inclusivity to earn trust from consumers.

| Deep Into The Well: Ellis Brooklyn | 07 Aug 2026 | 00:31:27 | |
In this week's deep dive, we're getting into Ellis Brooklyn, the clean luxury fragrance brand founder Bee Shapiro built while pregnant and searching for a non-toxic scent she could actually trust. We walk through the full lineup, from gourmands like Queens Caramel and Bee to tropical favorites like Isla Sirena and Miami Nectar, and dig into our thoughts on "clean beauty," is it a real standard or mostly a marketing ploy? Then we get into the accessible packaging, specifically the magnetic cap on every full-size bottle. Reviewers rave about it, and it's easy to see why: no threading to align and no fumbling, just a satisfying snap-close that happens to work beautifully for anyone with limited hand mobility or grip strength. We're calling it what it is: an accidentally accessible win. We talk about what it means when a brand stumbles into inclusive design without ever naming it, and what they're leaving on the table by staying quiet about it.Ā Listen now and start seeing beauty differently.

| Crown Collective š: Storm M. | 05 Aug 2026 | 00:41:14 | |
In this episode of Accessibly Ever After, Kailey and Ashton sit down with Storm Menzies, founder of ByStorm Beauty, to talk about adaptive makeup tools, disability-led design, and building an accessible beauty brand from the ground up. Storm has cerebral palsy and spent years working in the disability space before a hand injury revealed just how inaccessible everyday beauty products really are. Storm digs into what it took to go from clay prototypes to co-designing adaptive tools with occupational therapists and the disability community. She also shares what she wishes the beauty industry understood about designing with disabled people instead of just for them, and why representation in product development matters just as much as representation in marketing.
