Precision Over Power + The Art of Chemical Peels with Kendra Price Apr 01, 2026

Show notes

Today I'm joined by Kendra Price, a licensed aesthetician for 20+ years, Golden Touch Provider, and someone I deeply trust when it comes to working with the skin with precision and integrity. We talk about chemical peels, but more importantly, we talk about standards,... what it really looks like to create change without over-treating, over-promising, or bypassing the fundamentals.

We get into client compliance, education, and the level of leadership required from us as providers to guide outcomes and not just perform treatments. This is about slowing down, getting intentional, and taking responsibility for the results we say we stand behind.

If you’ve been craving a more grounded, results-driven approach to skin… this episode will bring you back to center.

3 Brutally Honest Lessons I Learned Before Becoming My Own Boss Mar 16, 2026

Show notes

Before I ever went out on my own, I spent years working for other people in this industry — and those years taught me lessons that shaped everything about the way I run my business today.

In this episode of Good Skin Circle, I’m sharing the three biggest things I learned before starting Ageless Ashley: the marketing strategies I knew I never wanted to use, why hiring professionals for finances is essential as a business owner, and how working under someone else allowed me to develop the specialized skillset that now attracts my Golden Clients.

If you’re an aesthetician thinking about going solo, this episode offers a perspective on why the apprenticeship phase of your career can be one of the most valuable.

In this episode:

• The marketing approaches I refused to adopt early in my career

• Why financial clarity requires professional bookkeeping and tax support

• How specialization in the treatment room builds authority and trust

• The philosophy behind attracting Golden Clients

The Chapter I Never Planned + Magic Unfolding Mar 11, 2026

Show notes

In this episode, Ashley shares a deeply personal reflection on the past few years — a period marked by unexpected challenges, major life shifts, and moments that tested both her faith and resilience. From moving to Phoenix with her husband to be closer to family and start a family of their own, to navigating infertility and supporting her 97-year-old grandmother through serious health struggles, Ashley opens up about how these experiences reshaped her perspective on life, purpose, and career.

What once felt like setbacks slowly revealed themselves as powerful redirections.

Ashley explores the idea that our darkest seasons often hold the seeds for our brightest chapters and how surrendering control, trusting the unfolding, and staying open to unexpected paths can lead to a vision far greater than we originally imagined.

She also shares powerful insights on recognizing the signals our bodies give us when something is aligned (or not), and why learning to trust yourself is one of the most important skills any entrepreneur can develop.

This episode is a reminder that the hard chapters are often the ones quietly preparing us for the work we’re truly meant to do.

Ashley also teases an exciting next evolution she’s been building for the community.

They explore:

How two high performers build without competing
The difference between retreats, workshops, and 1:1 mentorship
Why mentorship is access, not just information
Protecting intimacy in a visible world
The ethics of brand partnerships in the skincare industry
Why estheticians are the real influencers
Balancing ambition, boundaries, and marriage

The Week I Got Hit by a Car + Becoming Light Through the Dark Feb 16, 2026

Show notes

Last week, I was hit by a car. In the weeks leading up to co-hosting a retreat, I was quietly battling imposter syndrome — questioning my capacity to hold big space for women stepping into their own expansion. Then life knocked me to the pavement. Literally.

What followed was a spiritual reckoning, a breathwork breakthrough, and a message so clear it shook me: you cannot hold light without knowing darkness.

In this raw and deeply personal solo episode, I share:

The internal battle no one sees before expansion
How adversity refines leadership (not ruins it)
The breathwork experience that changed everything
Why imposter syndrome is often a sign you’re leveling up
How sound healing has expanded my capacity to hold space
And what it means to become a vessel — not from perfection, but from lived experience

If you’ve been doubting yourself before your next big step…

If you’ve walked through something hard and wondered what it was shaping you for…

If you’re ready to lead from depth instead of ego…

This episode is for you.

You can’t hold light without walking through fire.

Becoming a Golden Client Magnet, Debunking "Hot Girl" Marketing + Uncommon Ways to Thrive with Lorena Sanchez Feb 09, 2026

Show notes

What does it really take to build a thriving massage and facial practice — without chasing trends, aesthetics, or overnight success?

In this episode of Good Skin Circle, Ashley sits down with Lorena Sanchez, a dual licensed massage therapist and aesthetician based in San Francisco, to talk about the long game: embodiment, authenticity, community trust, and confidence built over time.

Lorena shares how she grew her practice through local moms’ groups, word-of-mouth, and showing up as a real human — not a polished brand. They talk about starting small, expanding intentionally, healing self-worth through inner work, hypnotherapy and why advanced education changes how you trust your hands.

This conversation is for practitioners who feel behind, don’t fit the mold, or are quietly building something meaningful.

Slow growth. Real success. Careers that last.
