    Becoming a Golden Client Magnet, Debunking "Hot Girl" Marketing + Uncommon Ways to Thrive with Lorena Sanchez

    What does it really take to build a thriving massage and facial practice — without chasing trends, aesthetics, or overnight success? In this episode of Good Skin Circle, Ashley sits down with Lorena Sanchez, a dual licensed massage therapist and aesthetician based in San Francisco, to talk about the long game: embodiment, authenticity, community trust, and confidence built over time. Lorena shares how she grew her practice through local moms’ groups, word-of-mouth, and showing up as a real human — not a polished brand. They talk about starting small, expanding intentionally, healing self-worth through inner work, hypnotherapy and why advanced education changes how you trust your hands. This conversation is for practitioners who feel behind, don’t fit the mold, or are quietly building something meaningful. Slow growth. Real success. Careers that last. 🎧 Press play.

    The Quiet Cost of Ignoring Your Intuition

    Your intuition doesn’t stop speaking when you ignore it. It just whispers… until the cost shows up elsewhere.

You’ll hear about:The hidden energetic cost of ignoring intuitive signalsWhy burnout often begins long before you feel “overworked”How your body knows the truth before your mind doesThe subtle ways urgency and validation drown out intuitionSimple, embodied practices to rebuild self-trust If you’ve been explaining away a feeling you can’t quite name, this episode is your invitation to pause, listen, and come back into alignment. Your intuition never lies. But it will get louder if you don’t listen.
