Send Couture Conversations a text

Big lives aren’t linear—and Maddie’s path proves it. From construction sites to the front desk at Winter Park, from leading a high-volume Ocoee clinic to late-night clinicals and mnemonics with her sister, she kept chasing the mix of pace, purpose, and people that makes work feel right. We talk about the early days of learning lasers and consultations, the leap to leadership across multiple locations, and the real weight of managing schedules, burnout risk, and team energy when 70 appointments stand between you and closing.

When nursing school called, Maddie said yes—and then shared what most brochures skip: the tears, the time hacks, and the moments on orthopedic trauma floors that make the grind worth it. She breaks down how she studies without procrastination, what clinicals taught her about presence, and why she’s charting a course toward nurse practitioner with an eye on aesthetics. ER tempts her speed-loving side, CRNA intrigues with rigor and pay, but aesthetics offers something she wants every morning—helping people feel good in their skin.

Coming back to Couture wasn’t a step back; it was a strategic reset. Starting again as a C3 let her double down on patient-centered care and the conversations that build trust. We swap stories about culture in action—from training games that boost skincare knowledge to an Easter egg hunt that made a Monday feel like childhood—and how those small rituals create big results. If you’re feeling unsure about your path, you’ll hear practical, permission-giving advice: apply, try, pivot, repeat. You learn by moving.
