Ep. 33: Support Your Skin From Within, Why Less Really is More: A Conversation with Holistic Skin Care Specialist Jess Arnaudin

In this Episode

In this episode, Aly reunites with holistic esthetician, author, and dear friend, Jess Arnaudin, to explore what happens when self-care becomes less about “fixing” ourselves and more about mothering ourselves. Their conversation moves from skin rituals and nervous system care to the cultural narratives that tell women they’re never doing—or being—enough. Together, they peel back the layers of beauty and wellness marketing to reveal a gentler truth: that nourishment, rest, and presence are the most radical acts of care we can offer our bodies.

Notable Moments & Takeaways:

Aly and Jess challenge the idea that “self-care” means doing more, buying more, or becoming more.
Jess explains why she avoids the word beauty in her practice—her work is about vitality, not vanity.
Aly opens up about learning to mother herself through moments of burnout, motherhood, and body disconnection.
Together, they introduce their upcoming Modern Body collaboration, a movement and self-massage series built around the art of self-mothering.
Memorable quote: “Self-care isn’t something we earn by working harder—it’s something we return to, the way a mother returns to her child.”
