This episode of The Aesthetic Life podcast is extra special...my 14-year-old daughter, Emma Boyd, joins me for a fun Q&A! She's been seeing all kinds of skincare trends on social media and wanted to come straight to the source (that's me!) to find out what's actually credible. We talk about product hype, teen skincare do's and don'ts, and what I really think about some of those viral hacks.

I also share how great it's been having Emma spend the week with me. She's like me in many ways...but one memory stands out: we talk about how she never quit. She kept going until she crossed that finish line...and I like to think she gets that resilience from me.

Oh...and during the recording? My favorite little bunny friend showed up outside the window. He's been visiting for the past year, and I take it as a sweet little sign that beautiful things are unfolding...in life, in love, and in this moment.

Tune in for real talk, mother-daughter vibes, and some much-needed myth-busting.

I have missed you all!!!

This episode is really just a life update and a big THANK YOU to all of you that have been there for me recently. I've received so many awesome messages, texts, phone calls and even had opportunities to say hi to some of you on a few quick day trips back to West Michigan. Many of you all had the same questions and wanted to know how I'm doing?, did I meet someone?, where did I move? Some of you didn't get a chance for me to say goodbye and have been wondering how my move all unfolded, etc. To say there has been A LOT of "life" happening in The Aesthetic Life would be an understatement...This episode is just me and it's basically an update to my life and an opportunity to express my thanks and gratitude. I'm getting settled into my new chapter in life after divorce, in a new community, meeting new friends, finding love and radiating happiness. I touch a little on signs and synchronicities, new opportunities, leaving with gratitude and also feeling loved and supported throughout my recent big changes.

I'm so excited to be back!! So after this update, get ready for more regular episodes with a variety of guests! We pick up where we left off in Season 2! In the next episode of this season, Anna Gulinski, FNP-BC and I take you into the treatment room while I have a procedure during the episode! Stay Tuned.....
