Confidence is a word that gets thrown around in aesthetics, but living it is something else.

In Episode 03, Michelle Shetty sits down with Olivia Kirkpatrick, MSN, AGNP-BC, a board-certified Nurse Practitioner with 11+ years in medicine who currently practices at The Confidence Bar, for a real conversation about what confidence actually looks like when the internet is loud.

They get into growing pains, hate comments, self-love in a high-visibility field, and how to stay grounded when being perceived comes with opinions you didn’t ask for. Olivia shares the habits that keep her steady, plus the nuance of choosing motherhood and career without guilt, and what it means to be a provider patients can trust.

In this episode, Suzie sits down with Medical Director, Dr. Tatiana Batista, to talk about something most women will experience but few truly feel prepared for: menopause and perimenopause.

With the FDA recently updating its stance on HRT after nearly 20 years of a black box warning, they talk through how we got here, what we know, and how to approach treatment options in real life.

Whether you’re in the thick of symptoms, starting to notice changes, or just want to be informed, this conversation is designed to help you feel a little more equipped and a lot less alone.
