Confessions of an Aesthetician

The peel that changed my skin over 15 years ago is officially BACK at Vedette! 

In this episode, I’m sharing why the Vedette Skin Renewal Peel has always been one of my favorite treatments, how it helped transform my acne and PIH, and why I’m so excited to offer it again.

We’re also talking results, downtime, who it’s for, and everything you should know if you’ve been curious but a little scared to try a peel. 

August has been one of those months where it felt like if it wasn’t one thing, it was another. Between business, life, unexpected situations, big decisions, and trying to navigate so many changes at once… your girl has been THROUGH IT. 

In this episode, I’m getting personal and sharing some of the things I’ve been dealing with behind the scenes, the stress, the tears and the lessons.

I’m still standing, still trusting God, and still reminding myself that sometimes the hardest seasons are preparing you for what’s next.

August almost took me out… but it didn’t. 

After 15 years in business, I’m entering a season that looks very different. I’m changing my schedule, splitting my time between New York and Texas, and learning how to slow down after years of constantly working.

But behind all the exciting changes, this month has been A LOT. I’ve been stressed, overwhelmed, crying, praying, and asking myself how much one person can handle at once.

In this episode, I’m sharing what’s really been going on with me and Vedette and why Chapter 15 might be my biggest change yet. 

In this episode, I share the heartbreaking story of my car being broken into and my wedding ring being stolen. It’s a deeply personal experience that changed me in ways I never expected, and I’m opening up about the emotions, lessons, and journey through it all.

In Part 2 of Why Hiring Broke Me, I share the experiences that changed the way I lead, the boundaries I wish I had from the beginning, and the lessons every business owner should know before building a team. This is my story of growth, resilience, and trusting God through one of the hardest seasons of my business.

Hiring isn’t just about filling a role... it’s about trust, risk, and accepting that no one will care about your business the way you do. In this episode, I share the realities of building a team, the challenges of hiring employees and family, and why I ultimately chose to outsource instead.

Are you ready to open your own spa or just ready to leave where you are?

In this episode, I share the realities of business ownership, common mistakes aspiring spa owners make, and why skills, experience, patience, and preparation matter more than a beautiful suite or business license.

If you're dreaming of being your own boss, this conversation will help you determine whether you're starting from readiness or restlessness.

Build your skills before you build your spa.

In this episode, I’m sharing one of the most uncomfortable and awkward appointments I’ve ever experienced as an aesthetician. What was supposed to be electrolysis appointment quickly turned into a situation that had me questioning the client’s intentions, professional boundaries, and the uncomfortable realities service providers sometimes face behind closed doors.

As aestheticians, we’re expected to stay professional at all times… but what happens when a client makes the energy feel completely off? I’m opening up about the importance of trusting your instincts, protecting your peace, and the things people don’t talk about in the beauty industry.

Tune in for story time, real talk, and lessons every beauty professional should hear.
