Episode 47: Clean Beauty Myths Every Traveler Needs to Know with KOOK Sunscreen

Christina Kuklinski burned out of a corporate career at Deloitte Digital and American Express, quit everything, and spent two years scuba diving around the world. When her hair started literally breaking off from repeated saltwater exposure, she couldn't find a single product that worked and was safe for the reef. So she built Kook from scratch. 

In this episode we dig into what "clean beauty" and "reef safe" actually mean (spoiler: it’s mostly marketing), how sunscreen choices affect coral ecosystems even if you never get in the water, and what a real travel self-care routine looks like when you're living out of a bag. 

Christina also shares dealing with burnout, the emotional cost of leaving a high-earning career, and hard-won advice for anyone sitting on a business idea they haven't acted on yet.
