We close season five by getting honest about 2025’s challenges, giving updates on what is next for our in-house team, including new Instagram story columns for 2025, Elizabeth going solo, and Lonice launching an aesthetics school, and mindset tools that actually work—journaling to organize decisions, visual clarity before committing to big moves, and building a support circle that speaks boldness when your confidence dips. If you felt stretched thin this year, you’re not alone. Consider this your permission to pivot with purpose, invest in your systems, and choose timing that fits your life, not the algorithm. We’re grateful for the listeners who stopped us at events, the clients who cheer us on, and the colleagues who keep it real. Tap play, share this with an esty bestie, and tell us what you’re building in 2026. Subscribe, leave a review, and send your questions so we can shape the new season around what you need most.

The noise in skin care is louder than ever — viral hacks, shifting channels, AI chatbots, and brands drifting into retail. At Face Reality’s Acne Summit in Austin, Texas, CEO of Face Reality, Jeremy Soine, sat down with DERMASCOPE's CEO and publisher, Amanda Strunk, to get clear on what actually moves the needle for professionals: evolving with intention, protecting trust, and keeping the clients at the center. If you’re ready to lead with clarity, grow with integrity, and deliver results clients can feel and see, this conversation is a reset. Subscribe for more candid, clinically grounded talks, share this with your esty besties, and leave a quick review to help other pros find the show.

What happens when compassion collides with clinical skill and a stubborn belief that “anything is possible”? We sat down with aesthetician and educator SkyLee Edmiston — Dermascope’s 2025 cover contest winner — to trace her path from beauty-obsessed student to oncology-trained practitioner and nonprofit founder. SkyLee takes us inside oncology aesthetics with clear, practical insight, shares the soft skills that matter as much as protocols, and unpacks the DERMASCOPE cover journey and what it teaches about career growth. If you’ve wondered how to build a meaningful skin care career, one rooted in skill, empathy, and sustainable growth, this conversation will nudge you forward. If the show resonated, subscribe, leave a quick review, and pass it along to a fellow pro who could use the inspiration.
