Valeriia Veksler is a registered nurse, face fitness educator, and the creator of the Face Fitness System, a science-backed natural anti-aging method that has built a following of millions worldwide. After years working in cosmetic medicine teaching

Botox and filler techniques, she walked away from the industry entirely and built something new. In this episode, Rivki sits down with Valeriia to talk about what she discovered along the way, and what most people still don't know about how their face actually ages.

We get into:

1. Why Valeriia left her career in cosmetic medicine and what she learned about Botox, fillers, and Sculptra that changed everything

2. The everyday habits quietly aging your face, including posture, jaw clenching, and how your phone is affecting your jawline

3. The truth about lymphatic drainage and why doing it wrong can actually cause more sagging

4. Why baby Botox is a marketing tool, not a science, and what paralyzed facial muscles actually do over time

5. Valeriia's daily face fitness routine, her body type framework, and how sleep and face fitness work together for anti-aging

Valeriia also walks us through two live techniques you can try right now, so you might want to have your hands ready.

Claudia Oshry is the host of The Toast, one of the most loyal and joyful communities in podcasting. In this episode, she gets surprisingly real about the version of herself she had to let go of when she became a mom, and why she has never been happier about it.

We get into:

2. ​The GLP-1 journey: why she kept it private for months, why she believes medical privacy is non-negotiable, and what finally made her share
3. ​Her low-lift wellness philosophy: cycle syncing, gut health, and why she thinks most of wellness culture is a grift
4. ​The life cycle of a troll, her Chappell Roan take, and what celebrities actually owe their fans
5. ​Her three very different sisters and how Jewish faith shaped everything about who she is

Francesca Tighinean is a psychology educator, content creator, and future Hay House author who has built one of the most engaged communities in the psychology space by sharing the things most people are thinking but not saying out loud. In this episode, she makes it very hard to look at your relationships or your loneliness the same way again.

We get into:

1. Why anxiously attached people are actually covert avoiders, and how the fear of abandonment causes you to unconsciously choose partners who can never give you real intimacy

2. What self-sabotage actually is: a younger, wounded part of you that does not want what you consciously say you want, and what it takes to talk to that part

3. Why understanding your patterns is not the same as healing them, and why real change has to happen in the body not just the mind

4. The specific reasons so many people are lonelier than ever: technology removing the need for human contact, lost social skills, and a self-first culture quietly costing us our closest relationships

5. Why the de-centering movement and hyper-rigid boundaries might be reinforcing the very patterns they are trying to heal

If you have ever felt like you want deep connections but cannot seem to hold on to them, this episode is for you.

We talk about:– the salmon DNA injection that went wrong before her wedding and what she wishes she'd known– which lasers actually deliver (Clear & Brilliant, BBL, Fraxel) and how to know where to start– budget skincare that works vs. where it's actually worth spending– converting to Orthodox Judaism twice — the first time alone, before she ever met her husband– what building an authentic content career really looks like behind the feed

Jenn Sherman is one of Peloton's first-ever instructors, a cycling icon who has been leading riders for over 13 years and recently turned her focus to what she calls the Back Nine Era: redefining strength, longevity, and midlife fitness for women. She and Rivki talk about why cardio alone stops being enough in midlife, what her Back Nine Era mindset really means for how women should be moving and fueling their bodies, and why she now spends five days a week lifting weights instead of riding. They also get into the reality of navigating menopause: the mood shifts, disrupted sleep, and bone density wake-up calls nobody warned her about; and why Jenn believes this chapter of life is less about declining and more about pivoting into the strongest version of yourself yet.

Joyce Chabbott is a content creator and mom of four who built her platform around life on the Upper East Side. In this episode, she and Rivki talk about the decision to intentionally share her life online and navigating criticism that she "glorifies motherhood" by not filming tantrums, why she teaches her kids about their privilege instead of hiding it from them, and the isolating experience of becoming a content creator when no one in your real life understands what you're doing. They also discuss setting boundaries with what her kids share about their friends, the fast-paced culture of raising kids in New York City, and how going viral by accident turned into an empowering career she built while still being fully present for her family.

Kelsey Rose is a certified personal trainer and founder of the Shaep app who transformed her approach from overworking her body to finding sustainable balance. In this episode, she and Rivki talk about her journey from teaching education to building a fitness business during the pandemic, why she combines strength training with Pilates instead of choosing one or the other, and her simplified approach to nutrition that focuses on protein, carbs, and vegetables without overthinking it. They also discuss cycle syncing workouts to your menstrual phases, why walking is the most underrated wellness habit, and how scaling back your intensity can actually get you better results when you stop forcing your body to do things it doesn't enjoy.
