This week, I had the honor of speaking with Mary Nielsen—a true powerhouse in the esthetics industry. Mary is the founder of Fearless Beauties, owner of Spectrum Advanced Aesthetics Institute, and creator of Skintelligent, a platform devoted to modern, evidence-based esthetic education.

She’s on a mission to change the way we train, treat, and think in the skincare world—calling for deeper cultural awareness, ethical practice, and stronger clinical knowledge.

🧠 In this episode, we explore:

The founding and mission of Fearless Beauties

How Spectrum Advanced Aesthetics is elevating education in medical esthetics

The purpose behind Skintelligent and why digital learning matters now more than ever

The importance of treating skin of every shade, age, and condition

Why estheticians must be fearless, culturally competent, and clinically sharp
