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.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
