    S04E05. Acne Burnout: Why You’re Exhausted From Trying to Clear Your Skin (And What Helps)

    Katie and Cris talk about acne burnout, the part of the acne journey no one really prepares you for. The phase where you’ve done enough diets, supplements, and skincare changes that your body isn’t the only thing tired, your motivation is too. This episode breaks down why chronic acne feels so heavy emotionally, why constant change creates more confusion than clarity, and how to move forward without falling into the overcorrect-or-avoid cycle. In this episode, we cover: Why wanting clear skin and feeling exhausted can coexist.How acne burnout quietly impacts confidence, dating, work, and daily decisions.Why skin often reacts last and what that means for your expectations.The signals your body gives before acne shifts, and why they’re easy to miss.How fewer, steadier inputs reduce spirals and make progress feel safer.If this episode resonated, we’d love it if you left a rating or review.

    S04E04. Client Journey: Adult Acne, Fitness Plateaus, and Learning to Trust the Process With Elizabeth

    January has this magical ability to make us think we’re going to reinvent our whole life by Monday. New workouts, new meals, new skin routine, new everything. In this episode, Katie sits down with client and personal trainer Elizabeth Fitzpatrick for a crossover convo on why the fitness journey and the acne journey are basically the same. You start strong, hit a plateau or flare, then panic-reset and end up back at square one. They talk mindset, timelines, nervous system support, and why coaching is often the missing piece when you’re doing “all the right things” but can’t stay consistent. In this episode, we cover: Why plateaus and flares trigger the “I need a new plan” spiral.Elizabeth’s story - symptoms since childhood, birth control fallout, and feeling like an imposter in a fitness career.The surprising progress that shows up first - anxiety calming down, feeling more grounded, and nervous system shifts.Why you can’t coach yourself, even if you’re educated and motivated.How coaching gives reassurance, better expectations, and a plan you don’t keep restarting.Let's Connect Apply to work with us in The Clear Skin Solution, here.Download The Gut Loving Cheat Sheet, here.Follow Katie on Instagram, here.

    S04E03. Why Your Acne Isn't Clearing Up (Even Though You've Tried Everything)

    Ever catch yourself thinking, “I’ve tried everything. Skincare. Diets. Supplements. Tests. And nothing is changing.” You’re not alone, and you’re not imagining it. In this episode, Katie and Cris break down why adult acne can feel so defeating when you’ve already done all the “right” things. From dermatology routes to functional testing to internet nutrition advice, they talk about why progress often stalls, even when effort is high, and what usually gets missed along the way. This conversation pulls apart the belief that you’re out of options and reframes what “nothing is working” actually means. In this episode, we cover: Why trying everything doesn’t mean you’ve tried what your body actually needs.How “healthy eating” can quietly turn into yo-yo dieting for acne.The patterns food journals reveal that Instagram advice doesn’t catch.Why piling on supplements can slow progress instead of speeding it up.What AI and generic protocols can’t replace when it comes to acne clarity.If you’ve been stuck in trial-and-error mode and wondering what you’re missing, this episode brings a lot of light to the confusion.

In this episode, you’ll find out: Why 2025 felt less like a “rebuild” and more like a full identity shake-up. The surprising fertility findings that explained Katie’s back-to-back losses. What was actually said in the online bullying thread (and why it cut so deep). The moment Katie’s mental health fully collapsed and what finally helped. The conversation where Cris lost it… and how it changed their friendship The health signs Cris couldn’t ignore anymore (aka the ones Katie was waiting for her to admit). The business pivots and failed ventures that forced a complete reset. Share this episode with a friend who checks her horoscope and her skincare routine.
