In this episode of Girl Talk with Tay, Taylor Love sits down with beauty writer and editor Lisa DeSantis for a thoughtful conversation about the intersection of beauty, wellness, and learning to trust your own routine in a world full of trends. Plus what she thinks is actually beneficial as a beauty editor verses what isn’t needed! 

Lisa shares how she got her start at QVC before diving headfirst into the world of magazines, eventually writing for top publications like Glamour, Byrdie, Women’s Health, Cosmopolitan, and Marie Claire. We talk about what she’s learned covering the industry from New York to Nashville, how to spot real beauty trends versus marketing fluff, the shift toward natural, low-maintenance tweakments, ingredients she actually believes in like niacinamide and vitamin C, and the wellness habits that feel grounding instead of overwhelming. From K-beauty innovations to journaling rituals and finding balance in your routine, this episode is a refreshing take on beauty that goes deeper than the surface.

In this episode of Girl Talk with Tay, Taylor Love sits down with Shannon Grace, founder of Grace Aesthetics in Franklin, TN, for a candid conversation about beauty industry secrets, building a business from the ground up, and what actually works when it comes to aesthetics.

Shannon shares her journey from being a business school dropout to launching what started as a one-room suite into a thriving medical aesthetics practice. We talk about navigating a business partner split, the financial lessons she learned the hard way, and how resilience shaped her as a founder. On the beauty side, we dive into everything from Sculptra and PRF to lasers, preventative treatments in your 20s, and what truly makes a difference in your 30s, 40s, and beyond. We also unpack holistic beauty, why sunscreen is non-negotiable, and how confidence is built through action, not perfection.
If you’ve ever been curious about filler, regenerative treatments, or what it really takes to grow a successful beauty business, this episode is full of insight you won’t hear everywhere else.

In this episode of Girl Talk with Tay, Taylor Love sits down with Dr. Nicole Cain, a holistic practitioner, EMDR-trained naturopathic doctor, and author of Panic Proof, for a powerful conversation about anxiety, panic, and learning how to feel safe in your body again.

We break down why anxiety is not dangerous, how symptoms can be messengers, and why a one-size-fits-all approach does not work for everyone. Dr. Cain shares her framework for the nine types of anxiety, how to tell the difference between anxiety and intuition, and practical tools you can use in real time, including her four-step panic reset, nervous system regulation techniques, and holistic supports that help calm the body at the root. If you have ever felt stuck in fight-or-flight or confused about why traditional treatments have not fully worked, this episode will change the way you understand anxiety and yourself.

We dig into conversations around anxiety and panic healing, with tangible tips you can apply to feel more grounded and in control.

Big Dreams, Soft Life Desires & Shaping Modern Womanhood

In this episode of Girl Talk with Tay, Taylor Love sits down with country singer Lauren Watkins for a thoughtful conversation about building a meaningful career without losing yourself along the way.

Lauren opens up about her latest album In a Perfect World, the pressure of “having it all,” touring, what it’s like being on the road with Morgan Wallen, navigating stage fright, and working creatively alongside her husband Will Bundy while protecting their marriage. From life in Nashville to slowing down in the country and the routines that keep her grounded, this episode is a refreshing look at ambition, balance, and choosing a life that actually feels good.

We dig into what “having it all” really means when you’re craving both a big career and a stable, slow, traditional life.
