The esthetics industry is in the middle of a massive shift, and if you’ve been feeling the burnout, comparison fatigue, or that subtle “something feels different” energy… you’re not imagining it.

In this episode, Jess and Tiff unpack what’s actually happening behind the scenes of the beauty and wellness industry and the inner work required to rise with it. We talk about the evolution from hustle culture to sustainability, from competition to community, from polished perfection to authentic leadership. This is a grounded, honest conversation about regulation, boundaries, identity shifts, and what it really takes to lead in this new era of esthetics.

If you’re craving steadier growth, deeper alignment, and a way to build your career without burning yourself out, this cozy conversation is for you.

In this episode, we cover:

• Why the industry feels different (and why that’s not a bad thing)
• The shift from hustle culture to sustainable success
• Community over competition and what that actually looks like in practice
• The rise of wellness-focused esthetics and nervous system awareness
• Authenticity as the new currency in marketing and client relationships
• Social media without the pressure spiral
• Boundaries, regulation, and leadership from a grounded place
