In this week’s episode, Amy and Katie discuss a dirty skincare secret that we bet you didn’t know about. While those in the industry have known this for years, the average consumer would not.

About Liz Whitman:Liz holds an AB from Harvard College and an MBA from Harvard Business School.

Liz quickly noticed that estheticians ensured peak potency by freshly mixing treatments (and the most fragile clinical skincare ingredients) in the moment.

In part 2 with Jessica Maguire, Amy and Katie ask Jessica how a dysregulated nervous system effects children, the various types of dysregulation, and tips for how to improve one's vagal tone. Listen as Amy gets Jessica's perspective on how low vagal tone caused by stress, could have been a contributing factor to her vestibular migraines. The three also discuss research that has shown the importance of vagal tone for a regulated nervous system, how it effects your fight or flight response, overall wellness, and more. About Jessica Maguire:Jessica’s passion for health first lead to a degree in Health Science, studying the use of electrocardiography: how the heart’s electrical impulses are amplified and recorded. She then went on to complete a Masters of Physiotherapy and spent over fourteen years helping people improve the health of their brain and body. Through her clinical experience in neurology and musculoskeletal physiotherapy, and her previous study into how heart rate variability effects the brain, she was fascinated by neuroscience and the potential for the brain and nervous system to change. Jessica has studied neurophysiology throughout Europe, America, the UK and Australia. She has learnt from pain researchers, professors in neuroplasticity, neuroscientists and psychologists on how the brain and nervous system change from stress, trauma and chronic pain. Her post-graduate study has lead to further qualifications in clinical mindfulness, trauma-sensitive biofeedback, polyvagal theory and the use of transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation. Jessica believes that knowledge is power, and that we are empowered when we have autonomy in reshaping our mind-body system. Her specialty now is teaching patients about the vagus nerve and their nervous system, and how “stress-related illness” such as anxiety, depression, gut disorders, autoimmune issues and chronic pain can arise from dysregulation after chronic or traumatic stress. She uses Vagus Nerve Workshop and Masterclass, as well as the Vagus Nerve Program to help people get to the cause of their problems, rather than just relying on others to treat their symptoms. Nervous system dysregulation also affects the immune and endocrine system, which in turn influence the cardiovascular, reproductive and digestive systems. By recalibrating the nervous system many chronic health issues can improve.

REPLAY! Alli just got married and in celebration, re-airing her popular episode..In this week’s special episode Amy and Katie meet their role model, Alli Webb, someone Amy has admired for years. The three discuss Alli’s mentors, leadership in the entrepreneurial world, and being raised by parents with a strong work ethic. With Alli always keeping it real they discuss raising kids, her upcoming wedding and of course her new cat Cookie. Alli discusses her newest venture, Impact Series and how her passion for paying it forward to entrepreneurs has manifested. Stay till the end for her favorite hair and beauty products.About Alli Webb:You probably know Alli best as the co-founder of Drybar, the whimsical salon that made blowouts as accessible and budget-friendly as your favorite skinny vanilla latte. After scaling to 150+ locations and launching a product line, Alli and her partners sold Drybar to focus attention on new ventures. She has since co-founded Squeeze—a way better massage experience, Okay Humans—the future of face-to-face talk therapy, and Beckett & Quill—a high-end, not high-spend jewelry line. And, there’s no telling what she’s got up her sleeve next. What all of these ventures have in common—beyond Alli herself—is that they opt to make something we all need (or want)—blowouts, massages, therapy, little luxuries—more within reach. In this sense, each endeavor also reflects what Alli represents on a more personal level as a stay-at-home-mom turned mogul—she makes launching a business, following a dream, or frankly “just doing the damn thing”... within reach. Something any woman could do, as long as she’s willing to jump. While she’s graced the covers of today’s most esteemed business and beauty publications, has leant her expertise on the hit show, Shark Tank, and has a top-rated podcast, Raising the Bar, with her partner Adrian, Alli’s gift to the world isn’t her celebrity, but her ‘realness’ and the way in which she unapologetically and authentically sheds light on her life experiences—even the messy parts. It’s her willingness to speak the truth, and share the lows with the highs, that makes her so relatable. Yes, she’s an extremely successful entrepreneur and investor. But yes, she’s also just like you—a woman who survived a public divorce and found love on the other side. A mom who bravely and full heartedly sent her son to rehab. A person who loves to give back and finds value in not only how well her ventures do, but how they make people feel—how she makes people feel.Follow Alli @alliwebb on IG Follow us @nirvanasisters on InstagramSay hi at [email protected] subscribe, rate, review and share 🙏🏻🤍✌🏻Mentions:DrybarSqueeze MassageBecket and QuillOkay HumansPodcast Girlfriends and BusinessDrybar 3 Day BenderDrybar Detox Dry ShampooShanni Darden SkincareCanopyViruviGuide to Good Hair For All by Alli Webb Learn more about your ad choices.

And, there’s no telling what she’s got up her sleeve next. What all of these ventures have in common—beyond Alli herself—is that they opt to make something we all need (or want)—blowouts, massages, therapy, little luxuries—more within reach. In this sense, each endeavor also reflects what Alli represents on a more personal level as a stay-at-home-mom turned mogul—she makes launching a business, following a dream, or frankly “just doing the damn thing”... within reach. Something any woman could do, as long as she’s willing to jump. While she’s graced the covers of today’s most esteemed business and beauty publications, has leant her expertise on the hit show, Shark Tank, and has a top-rated podcast, Raising the Bar, with her partner Adrian, Alli’s gift to the world isn’t her celebrity, but her ‘realness’ and the way in which she unapologetically and authentically sheds light on her life experiences—even the messy parts. It’s her willingness to speak the truth, and share the lows with the highs, that makes her so relatable. Yes, she’s an extremely successful entrepreneur and investor. But yes, she’s also just like you—a woman who survived a public divorce and found love on the other side. A mom who bravely and full heartedly sent her son to rehab. A person who loves to give back and finds value in not only how well her ventures do, but how they make people feel—how she makes people feel.Follow Alli @alliwebb on IG Follow us @nirvanasisters on InstagramSay hi at [email protected] subscribe, rate, review and share 🙏🏻🤍✌🏻Mentions:DrybarSqueeze MassageBecket and QuillOkay HumansPodcast Girlfriends and BusinessDrybar 3 Day BenderDrybar Detox Dry ShampooShanni Darden SkincareCanopyViruviGuide to Good Hair For All by Alli Webb Learn more about your ad choices.
