Skin Talks

What does it feel like to have the title, the salary, the corner office, and still feel empty inside?

Janylène Turcotte spent 25 years in the corporate world as a senior HR executive, flying between Toronto, Montreal, and London. 

On paper, she had it all. 

Inside, she was running on fumes, and quietly battling an alcohol problem she didn't fully acknowledge.

Then one day, her boss flew in from Toronto and let her go.

Her response? "Thank you."

In this episode, Janylène shares the raw, honest story of what happened next: the void, the identity loss, the failed VP interview where she couldn't utter a word, and the hypnotherapy session that changed the trajectory of her entire life.

Today, she's a certified hypnotherapist and coach who works with entrepreneurs, CEOs, and executives who are living a 7/10 life, successful on the outside, unfulfilled on the inside. 

She helps them peel back the subconscious stories keeping them stuck, rewire their inner dialogue, and rise into the life they actually want.

In this conversation, we cover:

- The moment she realized her burnout was a gift in disguise

- How sobriety and getting laid off were connected

- The "7 out of 10" framework and what it really means

- Why your childhood (before age 7) is still running your adult life

- The Peel Back, Rewire, Rise model, and how it works

- Why hypnotherapy works when traditional coaching doesn't go deep enough

Whether you're an entrepreneur feeling the gap between your results and your joy, or someone quietly wondering "is this really it?", this episode is for you.

Melasma. Sun spots. Three different skin conditions — one unified strategy. In this episode, we break down everything: the types of pigmentation, the brands that actually deliver, the in-clinic treatments that change the game, and the daily habits quietly sabotaging your routine.

This isn't a lecture. It's a plan. Because pigmentation is a long-term battle, and the people who win are the ones who stay consistent, summer included.

What we cover:

- The 3 main types of pigmentation (melasma, sun spots, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation) and how to tell them apart

- 4 Canadian and American brands with genuinely different approaches

- In-clinic treatments that accelerate results, and the ones to avoid in summer

- The everyday mistakes quietly setting your skin back

- Why mineral SPF is non-negotiable when treating pigment

- How to get through summer without undoing all your progress

Whether you're dealing with hormonal melasma, sun damage, or post-acne marks, this episode gives you the tools to understand your skin and move forward with a real plan.

Kids are watching skincare routines on TikTok, buying adult-grade products, and no one's telling them to stop. In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Sheilagh Maguiness — a board-certified pediatric dermatologist and one of only 400 in all of North America.

We cover newborn skincare, eczema from birth, the "Sephora kids" trend, ingredients to absolutely avoid (retinol, acids, essential oils), and what children actually need for lifelong skin health.

Spoiler: it's way simpler, and way cheaper, than the industry wants you to think.

In this episode of Skin Talks, high-performance coach Oliveyah Fisch joins us to completely redefine what success truly means. If you have ever reached a goal only to feel empty, or if you find yourself constantly exhausted despite doing everything "right," this conversation is for you. 

We dive deep into why society's model of chasing "mountaintops" inevitably leads to burnout. Olivia explains the critical difference between the "goal line" and the "soul line", revealing how to finally find magic in the mundane moments of everyday life. We also expose the socially acceptable addictions, like constantly checking our phones, drinking caffeine, or overworking, that we use to numb out from our true feelings. 

Learn practical steps to build your "muscle of pride" by keeping the promises you make to yourself , and understand hidden nervous system responses like "fawn and flock".
