    Motherhood and Med Spas

    Send Couture Conversations a text A surprise positive test, a breech baby, and a Thanksgiving night dash to the hospital—Raquel’s birth story has all the twists, but it’s the quiet details that stay with you. We sit together with Baby Noah to unpack the real texture of early motherhood: the shivers in the OR during a C-section, the nurse’s shoulder becoming a lifeline, and the flood of relief when skin meets skin in recovery. From there, life narrows and deepens. Raquel shares the simple choreography of newborn days—feeding, pumping, burping, changing—and the emotional beats that catch you off guard after sunset. She talks about prepping early so chaos feels smaller, using an outlet sock and late-night telehealth to steady her nerves, and how leaving the house becomes a strategy instead of a sprint. Family joins the frame: a proud big sister picking outfits, a football-loving dad soaking up baby cuddles, and dogs learning new rules around a very important human. We also get practical. Raquel unpacks what a C-section actually feels like, how to plan a hospital bag without overthinking, and why flexibility beats perfection with feeding. She went in expecting formula, tried breastfeeding for her husband, and found a rhythm with pumping that worked for Noah’s tummy. The standout advice is clear: research helps, but comparison steals your peace. Prepare early, accept help, record the small moments, and let love set the pace while you rebuild your routine, one calm morning and short workout at a time. If stories like this help you feel seen or give a new parent a little courage, tap follow, share this with a friend who’s expecting, and leave a quick review. Your support helps us bring more candid, useful conversations to your feed.

    New Membership, Real Care

    Send Couture Conversations a text Growth doesn’t have to mean losing the human touch. We sit with Diane, our founder and nurse practitioner, to trace how Couture Med Spa moved from an 8x10 room to serving hundreds per day while staying rooted in evidence, care, and real-world results. The heart of the conversation is simple: help people feel good in their skin, cut the downtime, and keep the science strong. We unpack how today’s lasers, fillers, and body contouring tools are dramatically better than a decade ago—and why we still say no to hype until the data is sound and the team has personally vetted every step. That mindset shapes our newest offering, the Enlightened Membership, a smart entry point designed to lower barriers, deliver meaningful injectable savings, and open the door to wellness services clients often discover for the first time. The episode dives deep into our coached weight loss program—built on peptides, accountability, and habit change. Diane shares stories of clients losing 20 to 120 pounds, stepping off medications, and reclaiming daily life through consistent support rather than mail-order shortcuts. We also explore NAD for energy, mental clarity, muscle recovery, and skin quality, and how it helps some clients push through plateaus by elevating performance and motivation. Beyond the clinic, we spotlight community partnerships, from fitness events with B12 power injections to local sponsorships that bring wellness to new audiences. If you’re curious about a science-first path to confidence—whether that means injectables, peptides, NAD, or simply a place that feels like family—this conversation offers practical insight and a clear starting point.

    Choosing Light After Loss

    Send Couture Conversations a text What does it really take to stay kind when life isn’t? We sit down with Clara, our practice administrator, to trace the winding road from a strict, love-filled childhood to teenage rebellion, and then into a young adulthood marked by the loss of both parents. The story moves through small Florida towns, dorm rooms, restaurant shifts, hospice hallways, and finally, a fresh start in Orlando—each chapter revealing how hope can be chosen, trained, and carried. Clara opens up about splitting time between divorced parents, forging an inseparable bond with her stepsister, and making the bold decision to live with her dad at fifteen. She shares how grief arrived twice: first with her mom’s fast-moving cancer, then again during COVID as her dad declined amid masks and uncertainty. Along the way, she found refuge in people: classmates, coworkers, and friends who made Gainesville feel like a net. That community—plus a growing art practice—helped her metabolize pain without letting it harden her. We unpack the difference between toxic positivity and sustainable hope. Clara’s toolkit is simple and repeatable: nightly Do Not Disturb to protect sleep, quiet time without screens, time outside to reset, journaling to name emotions, and steady reflection to keep perspective. She explains why feeling everything matters, how boundaries can be loving, and why choosing optimism is a daily practice rather than a mood. If you’re navigating grief, family complexity, or a season of reset, you’ll find practical ways to ground yourself while keeping your heart open. Listen for a candid, compassionate look at resilience, mental health, and the everyday habits that support a positive mindset.

    2026: New Year, New You

    Send Couture Conversations a text Ready to trade overwhelm for a plan that actually fits your life? We sit down with Maddie, our high-energy C3 who’s worn many hats at Couture Med Spa, to map out practical steps for clearer skin, calmer redness, softer lines, and renewed confidence. From the first consultation to a sustainable routine, we show how small moves add up—whether you’re a beginner starting fresh or returning to care after a busy season. We unpack Maddie’s top three pillars—skincare, facials, and Botox—and explain where microneedling belongs in the journey. Curious about microneedling with exosomes? We break down how exosomes accelerate healing and amplify collagen, making results more noticeable with less downtime. We also spotlight new product heroes: Pavise Dynamic Age Defense for all-in-one daytime protection and glow, and Ourself’s vesicle tech that helps actives get deeper for real change. If redness, brown spots, or texture are your pain points, we share how an IPL and fractional strategy pairs with barrier-first skincare to deliver visible progress. The conversation turns real and personal: why clients often arrive shy, how mindset shifts as results appear, and how Botox or Dysport can ease migraines and masseter tension as well as lines. We also go deep on GLP-1 weight loss tools—what they’re good for, how to manage side effects, and why stigma misses the lived reality of slow metabolisms, thyroid issues, and packed schedules. Maddie’s honest take: success is personal. Build habits you can keep on your tired days, and let your reflection catch up to how you want to feel. Want a confident start to the year? Subscribe, share this with a friend who needs a nudge, and leave a quick review to tell us which treatment or habit you’re committing to first. Then book your consult, protect your skin daily, and give yourself the hour you’ve been putting off—you’ll feel the difference.

    Nursing Schools and Med Spas

    Send Couture Conversations a text Big lives aren’t linear—and Maddie’s path proves it. From construction sites to the front desk at Winter Park, from leading a high-volume Ocoee clinic to late-night clinicals and mnemonics with her sister, she kept chasing the mix of pace, purpose, and people that makes work feel right. We talk about the early days of learning lasers and consultations, the leap to leadership across multiple locations, and the real weight of managing schedules, burnout risk, and team energy when 70 appointments stand between you and closing. When nursing school called, Maddie said yes—and then shared what most brochures skip: the tears, the time hacks, and the moments on orthopedic trauma floors that make the grind worth it. She breaks down how she studies without procrastination, what clinicals taught her about presence, and why she’s charting a course toward nurse practitioner with an eye on aesthetics. ER tempts her speed-loving side, CRNA intrigues with rigor and pay, but aesthetics offers something she wants every morning—helping people feel good in their skin. Coming back to Couture wasn’t a step back; it was a strategic reset. Starting again as a C3 let her double down on patient-centered care and the conversations that build trust. We swap stories about culture in action—from training games that boost skincare knowledge to an Easter egg hunt that made a Monday feel like childhood—and how those small rituals create big results. If you’re feeling unsure about your path, you’ll hear practical, permission-giving advice: apply, try, pivot, repeat. You learn by moving. If this story hits home, tap follow, share it with a friend who’s weighing a nursing path, and leave a quick review to help more listeners find us. Your next chapter might be one brave decision away.

    Hidden Pain To Confident Joy: A Story Of Healing and Growth

    Send Couture Conversations a text Some stories change how you look at your own life. Nicole’s does that and more. We sit down with the woman who keeps our financial engine humming and hear the side most people don’t see: surviving childhood sexual abuse, navigating years of silence, and slowly learning to trust herself again. What follows is an honest map of resilience—how she rebuilt self-worth, repaired her relationship with her body, and chose a definition of success that actually fits. We explore the turning points: the first time she spoke out and wasn’t believed by everyone, the mentor who offered refuge like family, and the moment healing made room for her voice. Nicole shares practical advice for anyone carrying shame or doubt—believe yourself first, find therapy that meets you where you are, and let safe people hold part of the weight. She also tackles body image head-on, contrasting 90s magazine ideals with today’s broader view, and shows how medical weight loss helped her reclaim energy, play soccer with her son, and actually want to be in the pictures. It’s not about perfection; it’s about presence. Along the way, we talk confidence, gentle aesthetics (yes to laugh lines, maybe softened), gym goals for more endorphins, and the freedom of rewriting life paths outside old timelines. Nicole proves you don’t need marriage, kids, or a certain degree to count—you need a definition of success that feels true. If you’ve been waiting for permission to ask for help, to try a new path, or to show up fully in your own story, consider this your nudge.

    An Accountant Walks Into A Med Spa

    Send Couture Conversations a text A thriving medspa doesn’t run on serums alone—it runs on systems, people, and smart financial choices. We sit down with Nicole, our head of accounting, to trace her path from a childhood spent around ledgers and purple pens to a CPA-earned career that now shapes every location, department, and decision we make. From the grind of studying four exam parts while working full time to the leap from a fitness franchise into aesthetics, her story shows how finance becomes a strategic engine for client experience and sustainable growth. Nicole opens the hood on what medspa accounting really looks like: daily transaction checks, cost tracking, vendor management, payroll Fridays, and monthly close rhythms that keep the team on track. She also shares how being in-house expands the role—collaborating with leadership on pricing, promotions, service mix, and equipment investments—so dollars and data translate into better bookings and consistent care. If you’ve ever wondered how a new service goes from idea to launch, you’ll hear the decision-making behind the scenes and why clear numbers make it possible to scale without sacrificing results. This conversation doubles as a career roadmap. Nicole explains why internships matter, how to choose between public and corporate paths, and how to build routines that carry you through big milestones like the CPA. She’s candid about the challenges of wearing many hats at a growing company and generous with tactics for staying organized—checklists, spreadsheet trackers, and crisp communication that prevent surprises. Along the way, we talk culture: an inclusive, energetic team that invites finance into creative conversations and keeps the whole operation focused on client outcomes. If you’re a medspa owner, a clinician curious about the business side, or a numbers-nerd who loves skincare, you’ll leave with practical takeaways on systems, pricing, and cross-functional teamwork. Enjoy the story, learn the playbook, and see why the best client glow starts with strong financial health.

    From Gym Floors to Kissimmee's Doors

    Send Couture Conversations a text What happens when a seasoned fitness operator trades corporate scale for a people-first medspa? We sit down with Tim, owner of our Kissimmee location, to unpack the leap from front desk shifts and regional ops to franchise leadership, community outreach, and services that genuinely change how people feel in their own skin. This is a candid look at the real work behind a beautiful lobby: hiring with heart, making hard calls early, and learning the medical side while keeping the experience welcoming and accessible. Tim opens up about the treatments that won him over—IPL for rosacea and broken capillaries, Disport for softened lines, and M Sculpt for powerful, no-downtime muscle toning. He talks openly about being a man in a female-dominated space and how sharing his results helped friends and clients push past stigma. We also spotlight a client’s 60-pound tirzepatide transformation that shows the emotional side of aesthetics: the kind of smile that says, “I’m back.” Along the way, we get into practical tips—sunscreen habits, realistic “guy schedules,” and why Netflix during M Sculpt makes consistency easier. Beyond the treatment room, you’ll hear how the Kissimmee team shows up in the community—Chamber events, 5Ks, and a pink tea party where Tim gamely joined the hat contest—and why affordability sits at the center of our model. Looking ahead, Tim shares a vision for growth that keeps care accessible and personal, with dream pins on the map from Naples to Puerto Rico. If you’re curious about medspa services, leadership lessons, or how confidence becomes a daily practice, this conversation will meet you where you are. Enjoyed the conversation?
