What if the very pain you’ve walked through was preparing you for the impact you were born to make?

In this powerful episode of Her Purpose, Kindra sits down with English Black—physician assistant, founder of The Curated Aesthetic, and a woman who turned her pain into purpose. After nearly two decades in medical dermatology, English broke free from a broken system and built a seven-figure aesthetics business in just one year—without compromising her values, her time, or her soul.

She shares her journey from a chaotic childhood marked by addiction and emotional abandonment… to building a life and business defined by integrity, healing, and radical authenticity.

Whether you’re in healthcare, dreaming of launching your own thing, or just in a season of rebuilding—this episode is your permission slip to believe in yourself again.

We talk about:

• Breaking away from toxic systems and starting over
• Creating a business that empowers rather than exploits
• Navigating substance abuse, family trauma, and loneliness
• How follow-up is the secret sauce in both business and relationships
• What it really means to lead with love and live in purpose
