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

  Aug 3, 202641 minS1

  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

  Jul 27, 202629 minS1

  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.

  Jun 29, 20261h 11mS1

  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.

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

  Jun 22, 202623 minS1

  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. 🎙️ Follow The Skindustry for weekly conversations on skin, business, mindset and everything in between.

  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.
