Ready for skin that looks rested, calm, and naturally dewy? We sat down with Clara to unpack the exact treatments and products that took her sensitive, reactive skin from flushed and uneven to hydrated, smooth, and photo-ready in days—and kept it there with fewer steps.

We start with the heavyweight: microneedling paired with exosomes. Clara explains how this combo cut her downtime in half, cooled post-treatment heat, and sparked a healthy glow that kept improving week after week. From there, we layer in cryofacials to tighten the look of pores and settle redness, plus Skinvive microdroplet injections for a sheer hydration boost that softens fine texture without adding volume. If you’ve been curious about collagen induction therapy, exosome benefits, or how to stack treatments smartly, you’ll get a practical roadmap you can follow.

On skincare, we trade the 10-step routine for minimalist, barrier-first essentials. Think: a gentle exfoliating cleanse, a daytime all-in-one that merges moisturizer, antioxidant repair, and SPF, and a nighttime bioadaptive repair that supports biostimulation while calming inflammation. Clara shares why her reactive skin finally chilled—no fragrance battles, fewer actives, and smarter formulations that play well with post-procedure healing. We also get real about sunscreen compliance (including how we convinced golfers to wear it), daily carry must-haves, and the power of tiny rituals—fresh air, a short walk, good music—to beat burnout and keep skin happy.

What if the wellness you’ve been chasing isn’t the wellness you actually need? Lindsay sits down with KellyAnn Daubach—former Fortune 500 leader, registered dietitian, and founder of Conscious Tourism—to unpack how a life built on achievement collided with emotion, motherhood, and two rounds of burnout. The conversation traces the moment she traded productivity metrics for nervous system literacy and turned travel into a powerful tool for healing, connection, and grounded leadership.

KellyAnn shares the origin story of Conscious Tourism, the “third child” she built with her husband: device-light retreats, micro-gatherings in nature, and mother–daughter weekends designed to lower stimulation and raise presence. We talk about what really happens at a retreat—drumming barefoot on the land, gentle movement as medicine, whole foods as nourishment, and honest conversations that make room for resistance and repair. She brings her systems background to the heart-work, explaining how safety, inclusivity, and operational rigor create sustainable, repeatable experiences that people trust.

Together we explore a wider shift in wellness. As quick fixes and weight-loss breakthroughs become commonplace, many discover they want something deeper: longevity, legacy, and relationships that feel alive. KellyAnn's 2026 vision blends scale with soul—elevating local collaborators, inviting families back to farms and beaches, and creating spaces where people remember how to breathe, feel, and belong. If you’ve ever wondered how to keep the retreat feeling when you get home, you’ll hear practical ways to anchor joy and calm in daily life without chasing someone else’s routine.

A surprise positive test, a breech baby, and a Thanksgiving night dash to the hospital—Raquel’s birth story has all the twists, but it’s the quiet details that stay with you. We sit together with Baby Noah to unpack the real texture of early motherhood: the shivers in the OR during a C-section, the nurse’s shoulder becoming a lifeline, and the flood of relief when skin meets skin in recovery.

From there, life narrows and deepens. Raquel shares the simple choreography of newborn days—feeding, pumping, burping, changing—and the emotional beats that catch you off guard after sunset. She talks about prepping early so chaos feels smaller, using an outlet sock and late-night telehealth to steady her nerves, and how leaving the house becomes a strategy instead of a sprint. Family joins the frame: a proud big sister picking outfits, a football-loving dad soaking up baby cuddles, and dogs learning new rules around a very important human.

We also get practical. Raquel unpacks what a C-section actually feels like, how to plan a hospital bag without overthinking, and why flexibility beats perfection with feeding. She went in expecting formula, tried breastfeeding for her husband, and found a rhythm with pumping that worked for Noah’s tummy. The standout advice is clear: research helps, but comparison steals your peace. Prepare early, accept help, record the small moments, and let love set the pace while you rebuild your routine, one calm morning and short workout at a time.
