    Ashleigh Cahn on Community, Media, Manifestation & Turning a Vision Into Reality

    IF YOU CAN SEE IT, YOU CAN BUILD IT What happens when media becomes more than a platform — and becomes a way to genuinely bring people together? In this episode of The Experts, Dr. Jenelle Kim sits down with Ashleigh Cahn, media executive, publisher and community builder behind Beverly Hills Living, for a conversation about the power of connection, building community, creating with intention and having the courage to turn a vision into something real. Ashleigh shares how her natural ability to connect people eventually became part of something much bigger. After taking over Beverly Hills Living, she discovered that the magazine could become more than pages and advertising — it could connect influential leaders, entrepreneurs, physicians, innovators and brands with an engaged community and then bring those relationships into real life through experiences and events. The conversation also explores visualization and manifestation — not simply as buzzwords, but as the process of seeing something clearly, putting intention and work behind it, and bringing it into reality. Dr. Kim connects that idea to Eastern medicine and the principle that where the mind goes, energy follows. And every instance of “Ashley” in the timestamps should be changed to “Ashleigh,” including: 00:00 – Welcome to The Experts Dr. Jenelle Kim welcomes Ashleigh Cahn and introduces her work as a media executive, publisher and community builder. 00:41 – Meet Ashleigh Cahn 01:27 – Why Ashleigh Has Always Been a Connector 03:23 – Taking Over Beverly Hills Living 04:04 – Creativity, Photography & Seeing the World Differently 04:19 – When Visualization Becomes Reality 07:44 – Vision Is the First Step Toward Making Something Real 08:17 – From Choreographing Routines to Creating Experiences 09:10 – What’s Coming Next for the Beverly Hills Community 10:21 – Where to Find Ashleigh & Beverly Hills Living And the closing section becomes: Connect with Ashleigh Cahn Publisher: Beverly Hills Living Instagram: @ashleighcahn_photography Website: https://www.bestversionmedia.com/ca/beverlyhillsliving/ Connect with Dr. Jenelle Kim IG: @drjenellekim FB: @drjenellekim LinkedIn: Dr. Jenelle Kim TikTok: @drjenellekim

    Cynthia Bailey on Reinvention, Resilience & Giving Yourself Permission to Pivot

    What if changing direction isn’t a sign that something went wrong — but a sign that you’re listening to yourself? In this episode of The Experts, Dr. Jenelle Kim sits down with model, entrepreneur and television personality Cynthia Bailey for an honest conversation about reinvention, resilience, self-care, and learning to permit yourself to change. Cynthia has experienced plenty of pivots throughout her life and career, and her perspective is refreshingly simple: you don’t need anyone else’s permission to change direction. If the path you’re on is no longer working, you can choose another one. As she explains, getting older has taught her to give herself more grace and to stop looking outside herself for permission to reinvent who she is. The conversation expands into the practices that keep Cynthia grounded through change — beginning her day intentionally, protecting her mindset, prioritizing her health and wellness, surrounding herself with positive women and, perhaps most importantly, continuing to get back up after the losses as well as the wins. Dr. Kim connects Cynthia’s philosophy to her own teachings around medicine, movement and mindset and the importance of staying rooted in what matters most. 🔥 In this LISTEN episode, you’ll learn: ✅ Why women need to give themselves permission to change ✅ How to recognize when it may be time to pivot ✅ Why reinvention doesn’t require anyone else’s approval ✅ How Cynthia intentionally protects her mindset at the beginning of each day ✅ Why health and self-care have become increasingly important to her ✅ What decades of career highs and lows have taught Cynthia about resilience ✅ Why getting back up matters more than seeing yourself as “strong” ✅ How Dr. Kim’s pillars of medicine, movement and mindset connect to Cynthia’s philosophy ✅ Why gratitude and appreciation can help ground us during difficult moments ✅ The importance of surrounding yourself with women who motivate and inspire you ✅ Why giving yourself grace may be one of the most important parts of navigating change ⏰ TIMESTAMPS (9:59 total) 00:00 – Welcome to The Experts Dr. Jenelle Kim welcomes Cynthia Bailey and immediately throws the planned questions aside after hearing Cynthia describe the message of her earlier panel in two words: “the pivot.” 00:42 – Why the Pivot Matters Cynthia explains why strong, intentional women need to give themselves permission to change when something is no longer working or moving them toward their purpose. 01:07 – You Don’t Need Permission to Reinvent Yourself As she has gotten older, Cynthia says she has learned to give herself more grace — and realized she doesn’t need anyone else’s permission to change, pivot or reinvent herself. 01:47 – Yin, Yang & Why Change Is Part of Life Dr. Kim connects Cynthia’s philosophy to the Dao and the relationship between opposites: feminine and masculine, day and night, sadness and happiness, failure and success. 02:53 – A Life Built on Pivots Dr. Kim reflects on Cynthia’s evolution from modeling to entrepreneurship and life in the public eye and asks what practices have allowed her to continue changing while remaining authentic. 03:42 – Cynthia’s First Practice: Protect Your Mindset Cynthia shares why she intentionally begins her mornings with something positive — whether that means reading her Bible, finding an inspiring quote or writing in her journal — before stepping into social media and the outside world. 04:31 – Why Self-Care Becomes Even More Important With Age Cynthia discusses the increasing importance she places on health, wellness and taking care of herself, particularly because feeling well allows her to continue walking in her purpose. 05:20 – The Resilience Cynthia Didn’t Realize She Had Looking back at the wins and losses throughout her life, Cynthia realizes that resilience has been a constant. Even when something failed, she kept getting back up, changing direction and trying again. 06:19 – Medicine, Movement & Mindset Dr. Kim shares how Cynthia’s approach naturally connects with the three pillars she teaches through her lineage in Eastern medicine: medicine, movement and mindset. 06:56 – Gratitude, Appreciation & Staying Grounded Dr. Kim reflects on resilience and the importance of beginning each day rooted in gratitude, appreciation and a sense of purpose. 07:56 – Why Cynthia Keeps Coming Back to Women Cynthia explains that regardless of where she is in her career, she continues to seek positive spaces with other women because she draws motivation and inspiration from that community. 08:24 – Stay Rooted So You’re Ready to Pivot Dr. Kim brings the conversation back to purpose: when we remain anchored in what matters most, it becomes easier to find resilience, appreciation and the courage to change direction. 09:07 – Give Yourself Grace Cynthia closes with a message particularly for women: stop putting so much pressure on yourself. Life is already hard enough. Give yourself grace. 09:23 – Where to Follow Cynthia Cynthia shares that Instagram is the best place to keep up with what she’s working on and everything happening in her world.

    Leah Knauer on Confidence, Comedy & Learning to Fully Own Who You Are

    In this episode of The Experts, Dr. Jenelle Kim sits down with actor, comedian, and creator Leah Knauer for a candid, funny, and unexpectedly personal conversation about confidence, authenticity, humor, and what it takes to step into your own power. Leah opens up about spending years trying to fit into the male-dominated comedy world before realizing that hiding parts of herself wasn't making her safer or more successful. When she finally began showing up unapologetically — sparkles, bold colors, femininity, humor and all — things began to change. The conversation also goes deeper. Leah shares the experience that dramatically changed her perspective on fear and life, while Dr. Kim explores why laughter, music, movement and joy can be powerful tools for breaking through stagnation and reconnecting with ourselves. 🔥 In this MUST-WATCH episode, you’ll learn: ✅ Why trying to fit in can keep us from fully stepping into our power ✅ What changed when Leah stopped hiding her femininity in comedy ✅ Why authenticity can be one of the most powerful forms of confidence ✅ How humor can create connection and release tension ✅ Why Dr. Kim considers laughter and joy a form of medicine ✅ How music, movement and laughter can help shift stagnant energy ✅ Why Leah stopped waiting for opportunities and started creating her own ✅ How a life-changing health crisis transformed her relationship with fear ✅ Why living authentically still has to be rooted in kindness ✅ What it means to use your own gifts to positively affect other people TIMESTAMPS (8:58 total) 00:00 – Welcome to The Experts Dr. Jenelle Kim welcomes actor and comedian Leah Knauer and shares why she believes Leah's ability to inspire women to be themselves makes her work so special. 01:09 – Learning to Own Who You Are Leah reflects on 15 years in acting and comedy and how long it took her to truly become comfortable showing up as herself. 01:38 – Trying to Fit Into a Male-Dominated Industry Leah gets candid about why she initially tried to blend in and make herself less noticeable in comedy — and the fears that were behind it. 01:49 – “I'm Just Going to Show Up as Me” Pink. Sparkles. Boldness. Femininity. Leah explains what happened when she stopped allowing other people to make her feel bad about who she was and began fully embracing herself. 02:50 – Why Humor Is Medicine Dr. Kim brings the conversation back to something central to both women's work: the power of humor and laughter. 03:19 – Laughter, Connection & Releasing Tension Leah explains why humor simply makes us feel better — creating connection, releasing tension and helping us move through difficult moments. 03:43 – Dr. Kim on Stagnation, Energy & Joy Drawing from Eastern medicine, Dr. Kim explains her perspective on stagnation and why something as simple as smiling, laughing or moving can help shift our internal state. 04:19 – Why Music & Movement Are Part of Leah's Comedy Leah explains why music, dancing and audience participation are intentionally woven into her performances — and how they help people get into their bodies and release tension. 05:09 – Stop Waiting for Permission Leah shares how moving to Los Angeles to act quickly taught her that she didn't want to sit around waiting for auditions. She began creating opportunities for herself through stand-up, improv and musical improv. 06:23 – What Gave Leah the Courage to Get on Stage? The conversation takes a much more personal turn as Dr. Kim asks what it was like to begin performing stand-up. 06:38 – The Experience That Changed Leah's Relationship With Fear Leah shares that shortly before starting stand-up, she went to rehab and experienced serious alcohol-related health complications. Facing her own mortality changed her perspective: getting on stage suddenly didn't seem so frightening. 07:07 – Life Is Short. Be Who You Are. Dr. Kim and Leah reflect on the moments that wake us up to how short life is — and why authenticity and pursuing what matters should still be rooted in being a kind person. 07:44 – Using Your Gifts to Affect Other People's Lives Dr. Kim reflects on what she sees in Leah: someone using laughter, music, movement and her own personality to bring joy and energy into other people's lives. 08:05 – Where to Find Leah Leah shares where audiences can follow her work, before the conversation ends exactly as you'd expect — with a little more comedy.   FREE RESOURCES & LINKS 🌿 JBK Wellness Labs: jbkwellnesslabs.com 🎓 Dr. Jenelle Kim – Living Meditation & Longevity Potions: jenellekim.com Code: DJK15 for 15% off   Connect with Leah Knauer Instagram: @leahknauer TikTok: @leahknauer Website: leahknauer.com Connect with Dr. Jenelle Kim IG: @drjenellekim FB: @drjenellekim LinkedIn: Dr. Jenelle Kim TikTok: @drjenellekim

    Seyoung Jeong on Korean Beauty, Skin Longevity & Why Healthy Skin Starts With the Barrier

    What can Korean beauty teach us about aging better? In this episode of The Experts, Dr. Jenelle Kim sits down with Seyoung Jeong, Co-Founder of ESTHE Lab, for a conversation about the philosophy behind Korean skincare and why healthy, resilient skin begins with understanding what your individual skin actually needs. Seyoung shares the story behind ESTHE Lab and how her belief in Korean treatments and science-backed skincare led her to bring that approach to the U.S. Together, she and Dr. Kim explore the growing influence of K-beauty, the importance of the skin barrier and collagen, personalized skin analysis, regenerative treatments such as microneedling, and the fundamental difference Seyoung sees between simply correcting visible signs of aging and supporting the skin's natural biology. The conversation becomes especially personal as Dr. Kim connects Seyoung's Korean beauty philosophy with her own lineage in Eastern medicine — revealing how two seemingly different worlds share a remarkably similar idea: work with the body rather than against it. 🔥 In this MUST-WATCH episode, you’ll learn: ✅ Why understanding your individual skin condition should come before choosing treatments or products ✅ Why the skin barrier and collagen are foundational to healthy-looking skin ✅ How 3D skin analysis can help personalize skincare and aesthetic treatments ✅ Why microneedling is used to stimulate the skin’s natural repair response ✅ The Korean beauty philosophy of supporting healthy skin biology rather than overcorrecting ✅ Why prevention and maintenance are such important parts of the K-beauty approach ✅ How Korean and Western approaches to aesthetics differ — and where they can complement one another ✅ Why regenerative treatments such as Rejuran have helped bring Korean aesthetics into the global conversation ✅ Why consistency can matter more than chasing quick fixes ✅ How Eastern medicine principles connect with modern conversations around skin longevity ⏰ TIMESTAMPS 00:00 – Welcome to The Experts at Soiree en Blanc Dr. Jenelle Kim introduces Seyoung Jeong and ESTHE Lab during their conversation at the Modern Day Wife event at Sofitel Beverly Hills. 01:00 – The Story Behind ESTHE Lab Seyoung shares how a connection to Korean manufacturers and her belief in Korean skincare and treatments led to the creation of ESTHE Lab. 02:15 – Why Your Skin Is Personal Why two people of the same age can have completely different skin conditions — and why skincare shouldn't be one-size-fits-all. 03:00 – Using 3D Skin Analysis to Understand Your Skin Seyoung explains how ESTHE Lab evaluates skin texture, collagen, moisture levels and UV damage to personalize recommendations. 04:00 – The Two Foundations: Skin Barrier & Collagen Why Seyoung believes so much of skin health comes back to protecting the barrier and supporting collagen. 05:00 – Why Microneedling Works Differently Dr. Kim and Seyoung discuss microneedling, PRP and how controlled stimulation encourages the body's own repair processes. 07:00 – The Korean Philosophy Behind Skin Health Seyoung explains why Korean aesthetics focuses on supporting the skin's natural biology and helping it repair itself. 08:30 – Consistency Over Quick Fixes Why treatments are often approached as an ongoing practice rather than a one-time solution. 10:00 – Does Collagen Powder Actually Reach Your Skin? A candid conversation about collagen supplements, absorption and why ingredients alone don't tell the whole story. 12:00 – Why K-Beauty Is Having Its Moment Dr. Kim and Seyoung reflect on the rise of Korean beauty, culture and aesthetics in the West. 13:30 – Western Correction vs. Korean Prevention Seyoung explains what she sees as a major philosophical difference: correcting wrinkles versus supporting healthier skin biology and prevention. 15:00 – Rejuran, Regeneration & the Rise of Korean Treatments How regenerative approaches such as Rejuran helped draw global attention to Korean aesthetics. 17:00 – Where Eastern & Western Approaches Meet Dr. Kim connects the conversation to her own Korean lineage and Eastern medicine background, emphasizing balance rather than choosing one approach over another. 19:00 – Confidence Without Looking “Overdone” Seyoung shares ESTHE Lab's philosophy of helping clients maintain their natural beauty rather than pushing excessive treatment. 20:00 – Non-Invasive Treatments, Botox & Finding Balance Why Seyoung believes modern aesthetics can include multiple approaches while still prioritizing long-term skin health. 21:00 – Korean Skincare at ESTHE Lab Seyoung discusses the Korean products and treatments the clinic incorporates and why understanding the skin barrier remains central. 22:00 – Closing & Where to Find ESTHE Lab Dr. Kim and Seyoung wrap up their conversation and share how viewers can connect with ESTHE Lab.
