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.

Growth doesn’t have to mean losing the human touch. We sit with Diane, our founder and nurse practitioner, to trace how Couture Med Spa moved from an 8x10 room to serving hundreds per day while staying rooted in evidence, care, and real-world results. The heart of the conversation is simple: help people feel good in their skin, cut the downtime, and keep the science strong.

We unpack how today’s lasers, fillers, and body contouring tools are dramatically better than a decade ago—and why we still say no to hype until the data is sound and the team has personally vetted every step. That mindset shapes our newest offering, the Enlightened Membership, a smart entry point designed to lower barriers, deliver meaningful injectable savings, and open the door to wellness services clients often discover for the first time.

The episode dives deep into our coached weight loss program—built on peptides, accountability, and habit change. Diane shares stories of clients losing 20 to 120 pounds, stepping off medications, and reclaiming daily life through consistent support rather than mail-order shortcuts. We also explore NAD for energy, mental clarity, muscle recovery, and skin quality, and how it helps some clients push through plateaus by elevating performance and motivation. Beyond the clinic, we spotlight community partnerships, from fitness events with B12 power injections to local sponsorships that bring wellness to new audiences.

If you’re curious about a science-first path to confidence—whether that means injectables, peptides, NAD, or simply a place that feels like family—this conversation offers practical insight and a clear starting point.

What does it really take to stay kind when life isn’t? We sit down with Clara, our practice administrator, to trace the winding road from a strict, love-filled childhood to teenage rebellion, and then into a young adulthood marked by the loss of both parents. The story moves through small Florida towns, dorm rooms, restaurant shifts, hospice hallways, and finally, a fresh start in Orlando—each chapter revealing how hope can be chosen, trained, and carried.

Clara opens up about splitting time between divorced parents, forging an inseparable bond with her stepsister, and making the bold decision to live with her dad at fifteen. She shares how grief arrived twice: first with her mom’s fast-moving cancer, then again during COVID as her dad declined amid masks and uncertainty. Along the way, she found refuge in people: classmates, coworkers, and friends who made Gainesville feel like a net. That community—plus a growing art practice—helped her metabolize pain without letting it harden her.

We unpack the difference between toxic positivity and sustainable hope. Clara’s toolkit is simple and repeatable: nightly Do Not Disturb to protect sleep, quiet time without screens, time outside to reset, journaling to name emotions, and steady reflection to keep perspective. She explains why feeling everything matters, how boundaries can be loving, and why choosing optimism is a daily practice rather than a mood. If you’re navigating grief, family complexity, or a season of reset, you’ll find practical ways to ground yourself while keeping your heart open.

Ready to trade overwhelm for a plan that actually fits your life? We sit down with Maddie, our high-energy C3 who’s worn many hats at Couture Med Spa, to map out practical steps for clearer skin, calmer redness, softer lines, and renewed confidence. From the first consultation to a sustainable routine, we show how small moves add up—whether you’re a beginner starting fresh or returning to care after a busy season.

We unpack Maddie’s top three pillars—skincare, facials, and Botox—and explain where microneedling belongs in the journey. Curious about microneedling with exosomes? We break down how exosomes accelerate healing and amplify collagen, making results more noticeable with less downtime. We also spotlight new product heroes: Pavise Dynamic Age Defense for all-in-one daytime protection and glow, and Ourself’s vesicle tech that helps actives get deeper for real change. If redness, brown spots, or texture are your pain points, we share how an IPL and fractional strategy pairs with barrier-first skincare to deliver visible progress.

The conversation turns real and personal: why clients often arrive shy, how mindset shifts as results appear, and how Botox or Dysport can ease migraines and masseter tension as well as lines. We also go deep on GLP-1 weight loss tools—what they’re good for, how to manage side effects, and why stigma misses the lived reality of slow metabolisms, thyroid issues, and packed schedules. Maddie’s honest take: success is personal. Build habits you can keep on your tired days, and let your reflection catch up to how you want to feel.

Big lives aren’t linear—and Maddie’s path proves it. From construction sites to the front desk at Winter Park, from leading a high-volume Ocoee clinic to late-night clinicals and mnemonics with her sister, she kept chasing the mix of pace, purpose, and people that makes work feel right. We talk about the early days of learning lasers and consultations, the leap to leadership across multiple locations, and the real weight of managing schedules, burnout risk, and team energy when 70 appointments stand between you and closing.

When nursing school called, Maddie said yes—and then shared what most brochures skip: the tears, the time hacks, and the moments on orthopedic trauma floors that make the grind worth it. She breaks down how she studies without procrastination, what clinicals taught her about presence, and why she’s charting a course toward nurse practitioner with an eye on aesthetics. ER tempts her speed-loving side, CRNA intrigues with rigor and pay, but aesthetics offers something she wants every morning—helping people feel good in their skin.

Coming back to Couture wasn’t a step back; it was a strategic reset. Starting again as a C3 let her double down on patient-centered care and the conversations that build trust. We swap stories about culture in action—from training games that boost skincare knowledge to an Easter egg hunt that made a Monday feel like childhood—and how those small rituals create big results. If you’re feeling unsure about your path, you’ll hear practical, permission-giving advice: apply, try, pivot, repeat. You learn by moving.

Some stories change how you look at your own life. Nicole’s does that and more. We sit down with the woman who keeps our financial engine humming and hear the side most people don’t see: surviving childhood sexual abuse, navigating years of silence, and slowly learning to trust herself again. What follows is an honest map of resilience—how she rebuilt self-worth, repaired her relationship with her body, and chose a definition of success that actually fits.

We explore the turning points: the first time she spoke out and wasn’t believed by everyone, the mentor who offered refuge like family, and the moment healing made room for her voice. Nicole shares practical advice for anyone carrying shame or doubt—believe yourself first, find therapy that meets you where you are, and let safe people hold part of the weight. She also tackles body image head-on, contrasting 90s magazine ideals with today’s broader view, and shows how medical weight loss helped her reclaim energy, play soccer with her son, and actually want to be in the pictures. It’s not about perfection; it’s about presence.

Along the way, we talk confidence, gentle aesthetics (yes to laugh lines, maybe softened), gym goals for more endorphins, and the freedom of rewriting life paths outside old timelines. Nicole proves you don’t need marriage, kids, or a certain degree to count—you need a definition of success that feels true. If you’ve been waiting for permission to ask for help, to try a new path, or to show up fully in your own story, consider this your nudge.
