Show Notes
✨ Welcome back to Beauty & The Brain with Dr. Chris Croley and NP Jerry Drinkard! In this special episode, we’re joined by our very own nurse practitioner, Allie Ballew, for a candid conversation about her journey from small-town roots to critical care nursing — and eventually into the world of aesthetics.
Allie opens up about:
- Why she chose nursing school and her early dreams of dentistry 🦷
- The challenges and lessons of working in the ICU during COVID 🏥
- Making the leap into aesthetics and her fears of “not having the eye” 👀
- The steep learning curve of threads, lip injections, and building confidence 💉
- The importance of patient relationships, empathy, and connection 💕
- Behind-the-scenes stories of growing with the Skin & Tonic family 🌟
This episode is part inspiration, part real talk, and packed with insights for both providers navigating their own career transitions and patients curious about the people behind the syringe.
🎧 Whether you’re a nurse, injector, or simply love stories of resilience and growth, this episode is for you.
