In this episode of the Be Well by Kelly Podcast, I sit down with my friend Bethany McDaniel, founder of Primally Pure, an ancestral skincare line made with beef tallow and simple, natural ingredients — and host of The Grounded Wellness Podcast.
Bethany shares how her personal struggle with acne led her to ditch harsh prescriptions and rediscover the healing power of nature. What started with just $250 in supplies has blossomed into a thriving skincare brand rooted in simplicity, purity, and intentional living.
