Just 40 Minutes of Me Losing My Mind

Season 1 · Episode 20

Monday, September 7, 2026 • Duration 48:52

This week’s episode is a little different. There are no business lessons, skin education or groundbreaking strategies… just 40 minutes of me yapping about the absolute chaos of moving house 😂

It has now been 10 days since we picked up the keys and, thanks to some very unwanted visitors, we’re still not actually able to live there.

Throw in the wrong keys, faulty locks, my dog becoming unwell and one problem after another, and it’s safe to say this move has tested every last bit of patience I have 🙃

So grab a cuppa and settle in for a very honest, very unfiltered life update as I talk you through everything that has gone wrong and how I’m attempting not to completely lose my mind.

Sometimes you don’t need an educational episode. Sometimes you just need a good yap 🤍

Next week, we've got the incredible @ell.skinn on talking all things virtual acne programmes - this is one you don't want to miss!

I Finally Went on Holiday Without Money Stress - Here’s What Changed

Season 1 · Episode 19

Monday, August 3, 2026 • Duration 40:57

What if your skin business could continue making money even when you weren’t physically in the clinic? 👀

For 12 years of being self-employed, taking time off always came with financial stress. Before every holiday, I would spend weeks saving, squeezing extra clients into my diary and worrying about how I was going to cover the income I’d lose while I was away.

But this time was completely different - all because I had created additional income streams that weren’t completely dependent on me being in the treatment room 🙌

The day before my holiday, I created an e-book for skin specialists all about cortisol and the effect it can have on acne. It cost me nothing but 3 hours of my time, I didn’t even launch it across my social media, and it generated £750 in just three hours. The best part? That resource now exists forever and can continue making sales without me having to create it again.

In this episode, I’m breaking down:

✨ What passive income actually means
✨ How skin specialists can create it
✨ The different types of digital products you could sell
✨ How much money you could realistically make
✨ The systems you need running in the background
✨ Why your knowledge is more valuable than you realise
✨ How passive income can help make your business more “bomb-proof”
✨ The honest reality of creating income that isn’t tied to your treatment diary

I also share how my digital resources and virtual Acne Blueprint programme allowed me to go on holiday without money stress for the first time in my entire self-employed career.

This isn’t about giving up the clinic or making money without doing any work.

It’s about creating something valuable once, setting up the correct systems and allowing your business to continue earning while you’re treating clients, enjoying a day off, sleeping or lying beside the pool 🌴

If you’re tired of knowing that the moment you stop working, your income stops too, this episode might completely change the way you think about your skin business.

Overwhelmed, Uninspired & Ready to Stop Posting? Listen to This First

Season 1 · Episode 18

Monday, July 27, 2026 • Duration 29:29

If showing up on social media feels harder than usual right now, you’re definitely not the only one.

So many skin specialists are feeling stuck in a content lull. You’re spending hours thinking about what to post, questioning whether anyone is even seeing it and wondering how you’re supposed to stay consistent when your content doesn’t seem to be bringing in new clients.

In this episode, I’m talking honestly about why social media feels so overwhelming at the moment and how to get yourself moving again without putting even more pressure on yourself.

We’re covering:

• How to work through a creative lull when you feel completely uninspired
• Why posting more content isn’t always the answer
• What makes content effective when you want to attract new clients
• How to create posts that speak directly to the people you want to work with
• Why your content may be getting engagement but not converting into bookings
• How to stop overthinking every post and start creating with more intention
• Why content isn’t the only way to grow your business
• How to find and connect with potential new clients through your DMs
• The difference between starting genuine conversations and sending cold, salesy messages

You don’t need to go viral, post every day or force yourself to constantly come up with brand-new ideas. You need a clearer strategy, content that speaks to the right people and the confidence to actively create opportunities instead of waiting for clients to find you.

If you’ve been feeling invisible online, comparing yourself to everyone else or wondering whether there’s any point in posting anymore, listen to this episode before you give up.

Why Skincare Alone Isn't Enough - The Functional Approach To Acne with Faye Knox

Season 1 · Episode 17

Monday, June 29, 2026 • Duration 01:11:01

This week on The Skindustry, I'm joined by Functional Skin Practitioner and educator, Faye Knox, to explore why skincare alone isn't always enough when it comes to clearing acne and other chronic skin conditions.

We dive into what a functional approach to skin health actually looks like, how internal factors such as stress, hormones, gut health and lifestyle can influence the skin, and why so many clients continue to struggle despite trying every product on the market.

Faye also shares her journey into functional skin health, the inspiration behind creating The Functional Skin Academy, and why she believes education is key to raising standards within our industry.

We discuss:

• What a functional approach to acne really means
• Why skincare and facials aren't always enough on their own
• The biggest root causes Faye commonly sees in acne clients
• The role of stress, the nervous system and overall health in skin healing
• Whether every skin specialist should be offering blood testing and functional health support
• The gaps in traditional skin education
• What it takes to become a truly great skin practitioner in today's industry
• The future of functional skin health and where the industry is heading next

Whether you're a skin professional looking to deepen your knowledge or someone navigating your own skin journey, this episode is packed with valuable insights and thought-provoking conversations.

Don't forget to tag us in your stories if you're listening, and let us know your biggest takeaway from the episode 🎙️

Everyone Wants My Blood Testing Secrets... Here's My Answer

Season 1 · Episode 16

Monday, June 22, 2026 • Duration 23:11

This week's episode is a little controversial… 👀

Blood testing has become one of the biggest trends in the skin industry, but do I believe every skin specialist should be offering it?

Absolutely not ❌

In this episode, I'm sharing my thoughts on why blood tests are a tool, not the treatment, why I don't believe you need them to become an incredible skin specialist, and why I choose not to publicly share the lab company I use.

We talk about the pressure social media creates, why competence should always come before access, and why mastering acne should come long before introducing blood work into your clinic.

Whether you're an acne specialist, a facialist, or simply feeling like you're falling behind because everyone else seems to be offering blood tests, this episode is for you.

Inside this episode, we cover:

✨ Why blood tests don't actually clear acne
✨ Why you should be able to achieve results without them first
✨ The huge responsibility that comes with interpreting biomarkers
✨ Why I keep my lab provider private
✨ Why not every skin specialist needs blood testing in their business
✨ The danger of comparing yourself to what everyone else is doing
✨ An exciting announcement 👀

If you've ever found yourself wondering whether you need to offer blood tests to be taken seriously in this industry, I hope this episode gives you permission to stop chasing what everyone else is doing and focus on becoming exceptional at what you do best.

Can Women Really Have It All? Motherhood, Burnout & Letting Go Of Mum Guilt with Rebecca Harrington

Season 1 · Episode 15

Monday, June 15, 2026 • Duration 01:31:28

Welcome back to The Skindustry! 🫶🏼🤍

This week, I’m joined by self-leadership coach Rebecca Harrington for a conversation that I know so many women, especially business owners and mums, are going to resonate with.

We often hear that women can “have it all” - but at what cost?

Together, we dive into the realities of motherhood, business ownership, burnout and the pressure many women feel to keep everyone else happy whilst putting themselves last. We talk about mum guilt, people pleasing, carrying the mental load and why so many ambitious women struggle to prioritise themselves without feeling selfish.

If you've ever wondered how on earth you're supposed to remember packed lunches, keep the house clean, run a business, manage the life admin and still somehow find time for yourself, this episode is for you.

In this episode we discuss:

🤍 Why so many ambitious women struggle to put themselves first

🤍 Why burnout is so common amongst mums and female business owners

🤍 Whether "doing it all" is actually possible

🤍 Why saying no can feel so difficult

🤍 How to stop carrying everyone else's emotions

🤍 Practical ways to juggle work, life and motherhood

🤍 Overcoming mum guilt and letting go of unrealistic expectations

🤍 Where to start when everything feels overwhelming

Whether you're a mum yourself, planning to become one, or simply someone who constantly feels responsible for everyone around you, this conversation is full of honesty, reassurance and practical advice.

Not Everyone Wants To See You Win

Season 1 · Episode 14

Monday, June 8, 2026 • Duration 22:47

This week's episode is a little different 👀

I'm getting ready for the SKIN&KIN event on Monday (today!) and thought it was the perfect time for a catch-up episode. I talk about the excitement of attending industry events, the importance of surrounding yourself with like-minded people, and why stepping away from your day-to-day environment can completely change your perspective.

I also share a recent situation involving another business tenant that tested my patience and got me thinking about something many business owners experience at some point in their journey... difficult people.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Why not everyone will support your growth

• How to deal with people who seem determined to create conflict

• The mistake many younger business owners make when dealing with older, more outspoken personalities

• Why age doesn't automatically equal maturity or professionalism

• How to stop other people's behaviour from distracting you from your goals

• The importance of protecting your energy and staying focused on what really matters

• Why surrounding yourself with positive, ambitious people can completely change your mindset

If you've ever felt frustrated by someone else's behaviour, questioned yourself after a confrontation, or struggled to stay focused when negativity creeps in, this episode is for you.

As always, if you enjoy the podcast, please leave a review, share it to your Instagram stories and tag me @theskindustry_ so I can thank you personally.

Have a wonderful week and I'll see you after SKIN&KIN with a full event recap! 🩷✨

If They Won't Change, Neither Will Their Skin

Season 1 · Episode 13

Monday, June 1, 2026 • Duration 21:46

Have you ever felt like you're working harder on your client's skin than they are?

In this week's episode of The Skindustry Podcast, I'm diving into a topic that every skin specialist will relate to at some point in their career - how to be firmer with clients whilst still being fair, supportive and professional.

A fellow practitioner recently asked me how to deal with clients who expect life-changing results from facials but aren't willing to make the changes needed at home. Whether it's acne, rosacea, pigmentation, or ageing concerns, we often find ourselves repeating the same advice over and over again, wondering whether we're educating or nagging.

In this episode, I discuss:

✨ Why you can't want clear skin more than your client does

✨ How to set realistic expectations from day one

✨ The difference between educating and nagging

✨ Why treatments alone rarely create transformations

✨ How to encourage client accountability without damaging the relationship

✨ The importance of stepping into your role as the expert

✨ Why being firm and being kind can coexist

If you've ever struggled with client compliance, unrealistic expectations or feeling responsible for results that are outside of your control, this episode is for you.

As practitioners, our job isn't to promise miracles. It's to provide honest guidance, evidence-based advice and a clear roadmap. What a client chooses to do with that information is ultimately up to them.

Today’s episode is a BIG one 👀⚡️

I’m joined by the incredible Emily from Emily Jayne Skin Revision - acne specialist, educator and founder of the Advanced Acne Academy, and honestly, this conversation is one EVERY skin specialist needs to hear.

Fun fact - I actually completed Emily’s academy myself back in 2024 when she first launched, so this felt like a really full-circle conversation and one I’ve wanted to have for a long time.

We talk about the reality of treating acne in clinic beyond products, protocols and before & afters.

Inside this episode we cover:

✨ How Emily found her way into acne specialism
✨ How the acne industry has changed over the years
✨ Why acne treatment needs to go far deeper than skincare alone
✨ The emotional side of acne that practitioners often underestimate
✨ What separates someone who treats acne… from someone who truly specialises in it
✨ The biggest mistakes skin specialists are making with acne clients
✨ Why critical thinking matters more than blindly following protocols
✨ Whether before & afters are enough anymore
✨ Building trust, authority and becoming known for acne
✨ What Emily wishes she knew earlier in her career

This episode is packed with practical advice, honest opinions and the kind of conversations that challenge how we think as practitioners.

Whether you already treat acne or you want to become known for it, I know you’re going to take something from this one 🤍

Monday, May 18, 2026 • Duration 35:11

This week on The Skindustry 🎙️✨

I’m talking all about the Functional Skin Academy event I attended last week, why it left me feeling SO inspired, and why getting yourself into the right rooms can completely change your mindset, motivation and business.

In this episode, we chat about:
• The importance of community in business
• Why investing in education and networking matters
• How isolation can impact motivation as a solo business owner
• The power of being surrounded by ambitious people
• Why growth happens through proximity, not just qualifications

PLUS… I’ve got an exclusive bonus for anyone wanting to join Functional Skin Academy 👀
