In this inspiring episode of the Pretty Please Podcast, Nathalia Ferreira opens up about her powerful journey from a toxic marriage and survival mode to creating a thriving, empowering community for women. She shares how fitness became her therapy, the pivotal role her son played in her transformation, and how her passion led to the creation of Fit Girl Things—a collective that blends wellness, knowledge, and community. From lessons in self-love to dismantling misconceptions about women’s fitness, Nathalia reminds us of the power of resilience, vulnerability, and building safe spaces where women feel seen, heard, and understood.

In this episode, we dive into one woman's powerful journey of turning personal healing through Pilates into a thriving studio, discovering confidence, clarity, and purpose along the way.

In this episode of *Pretty Please*, we sit down with my childhood friend and former dance teammate from our small town in Ohio—now a licensed esthetician and my coworker at the med spa. We reminisce about growing up together, reconnecting through our shared love of skincare, and dive into her best tips for achieving that healthy, glowing skin.

In the very first episode of *Pretty, Please,* co-hosts Ashley and Samar introduce listeners to the heart behind the podcast—starting with the name itself. *Pretty, Please* is more than just a catchy phrase; it’s a reflection of the idea that we all crave to feel “pretty” in our own way, whether that means confidence, clarity, or simply feeling like our best selves. Ashley and Samar share how their experiences in the MedSpa industry—and their own journeys balancing beauty, wellness, and ambition—inspired them to create a space where real stories and expert advice collide. They kick things off with a guest who embodies all of that and more: Maite, a talented PA and injector at V/O Med Spa. She opens up about her path to becoming a PA, breaking into the competitive world of medical aesthetics, and earning her clients’ trust along the way. With warmth and honesty, Maite shares how fulfilling it is to help others feel great in their skin—and wraps up the episode with a fun, rapid-fire round of “This or That,” choosing her go-to beauty hacks.
