Beginning May 8, reality star turned lifestyle guru, designer and author Lauren Conrad will be broadcasting weekly tips she hopes will “simplify [the] lives” of her fans through a new podcast. Produced with Cadence13 for Apple podcasts, “Lauren Conrad: Asking for a Friend,” will feature chats between Lauren and experts like hair stylist Kristin Ess, makeup artist Amy Nadine and party planning ideas from wedding planner, Cassie Katz. Speaking to People, Lauren says she plans for each week’s show to revolve around “a candid conversation with somebody who specializes in a certain area, from hair and makeup to organization and interior decorating.” She’s also planning to get into a few more in-depth subjects. “One of the themes I want to cover is finding balance in life. I think everyone can relate to the feeling of striving for perfection in your life. We live in a world of Pinterest and over-filtered Instagrams and everything looks perfect. I think people stress themselves out trying to achieve that and they miss out on the important things,” she says. “There is so much pressure for us to have it all,” Lauren continues. “I feel it too! It’s taken me awhile to relax and let go a little bit. But I want everyone to get back to the basics, so we can enjoy the rest of our lives.”
