In this powerful episode of The Beauty Shift, Beauty + Wellness Expert, Michelle Phillips, is joined by one of the most trusted voices in esthetics and skincare—Lisa Johnson. With over two decades of experience as a PA in clinical aesthetics, laser trainer, and co-founder of Epicutis Skincare, Lisa brings truth, science, and soul to the conversation around aging, beauty, and self-worth.
Together, we dive deep into what it really takes to look and feel like yourself—not a filtered version of someone else’s beauty standard. Lisa and Michelle open up about the myths surrounding anti-aging, the rise of ethical skincare, and why lasers may be one of the most natural and effective options for reversing signs of aging (without losing your identity).
We also talk about:
- How the aesthetics industry has evolved—and what to watch out for
- The stigma around treatments like Botox and lasers (and why it’s lifting)
- How to choose the right practitioner who listens to what you want
- Why your skincare is actually part of your healthcare
- Navigating perimenopause, crepey skin, hormonal changes, and the emotional toll it takes—and how we can support each other through it
This episode is full of honest, refreshing insight for any woman who’s feeling confused, overwhelmed, or unsure of what the right next step is for her skin, her confidence, or her self-care routine.
✨ Whether you’re considering your first treatment, frustrated with all the marketing hype, or just craving a real conversation about aging and beauty—this episode is for you.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
