Accessible Beauty: The Billion-Dollar Market Beauty Brands Ignore (ft. Ashton McGrady)

This week on Calling in Sick, we're talking about something that affects 1 in 6 people... but somehow, the beauty industry still hasn't gotten the memo. I'm sitting down with Ashton McGrady, disabled beauty creator, accessibility consultant, and co-founder of Wishing Well Collective, to talk about why the beauty industry keeps ignoring disabled consumers, what it actually looks like to design for accessibility (hint: it's not a campaign), and how brands are leaving trillions on the table. We're diving into: ✨ What "accessible beauty" actually means, and why your fave brand may get it wrong 🚩 The difference between performative inclusion and real accessibility 💄 Ashton's low-spoon beauty routine and how to simplify self-care on hard days 🔥 Hot takes on every beauty trend (semi-permanent makeup, skin cycling, LED masks, tinted SPF, and more!) Plus, we're playing Accessible or Not with some of your most-loved products... and the results might surprise you. xx, Alex 💬 Comment: What's one beauty product or brand that has made you feel truly seen?
