More and more patients are coming in for this procedure—even if they’ve never considered plastic surgery before. Why? Because upper blepharoplasty (eyelid lift) offers quick recovery, immediate results, and a more refreshed, youthful look.

In this episode of the You Are Beautiful Podcast, I explain why this has become the go-to gateway procedure, what to expect during the surgery, and how it could help you feel more confident in your own skin.

Skincare is more than what you apply—it’s a reflection of self-care, inner beauty, and what makes you unique.

Choosing clean skincare means honoring your skin with the best nature has to offer, free from harmful ingredients and full of nourishing goodness. Your skincare journey is personal, evolving with you, and embracing the beauty that comes from within. In this episode of the You Are Beautiful Podcast, I sit down with the inspiring Lisa Duffy, founder of Magnolia Skin Essentials.

As an experienced skincare formulator and researcher, she created this exclusive line of skincare products infused with Magnolia Extract, which is a super-antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-bacterial agent that can transform dry, troubled skin into incredibly soft, visibly glowing skin. In addition to helping women look and feel their best through skincare, Lisa is also a four-time published self-help author in the field of divorce recovery.

Her 20+ years of experience helping people heal their internal wounds compliments her work in founding a skincare line that also heals and restores problem skin. Lisa received her certification in Organic Skincare from the Center of Excellence in 2019 and has continued education at Formula Botanica and with world-renowned Cosmetic Chemistry Expert, Perry Romanowski. Lisa resides in Charleston, SC with her family.

Together, Lisa and I explore the power of clean skincare and why she believes everyone has an innate beauty that can be cultivated with the right care.

She also reveals the truth about misleading skincare labels like “medical grade” and “therapeutic grade” and explains why nature holds some of the most powerful ingredients for radiant skin.

Today we are excited to welcome Jo Stone to the You Are Beautiful podcast. Jo is a former corporate executive turned entrepreneur and the founder of The Balance Institute. After burnout led her to the hospital, Jo rebuilt her life by redefining success and prioritizing self-care. She now helps ambitious women overcome burnout, rewire subconscious patterns, and create meaningful, balanced lives.

Through her coaching programs, Jo has supported nearly 400 women to break free from perfectionism, reclaim their energy, and thrive without sacrificing themselves. Jo is passionate about sharing practical strategies and inspiring stories to empower others to live aligned and fulfilling lives.

Many women spend their lives striving for success, beauty, and the "perfect" life—only to feel exhausted, unfulfilled, and stuck in a cycle of self-doubt. Why do we still feel like something is missing?

The truth is, beauty isn’t just about how we look—it’s about how we feel. So many women carry shame and beliefs that they aren’t good enough, and those thoughts shape how they show up in the world. But when we define beauty on our own terms—when we feel whole, at peace, and fulfilled—we radiate confidence and authenticity. The beauty journey looks different for everyone. It could mean professional skincare treatments, injectables, or even surgery. But at its core, it’s about embracing who we are, free from the pressures of external validation.

Because true beauty isn’t about perfection—it’s about balance, self-acceptance, and living in alignment with our truest selves.
