Plus, I’ll be breaking down cutting-edge concepts like heart rate variability (HRV), the skin microbiome, and the role of sleep in skin health. It’s not just about stress leading to breakouts—there’s so much more happening beneath the surface.

We get real about what self-care looks like on a personal level, how it’s evolved for us over the years, and the myths that almost threw us off track. Laura and I open up about the setbacks we’ve faced, the unexpected moments of healing, and the ways we learned to pick ourselves up and try again when our routines just weren’t clicking.
