Speaker 2 (00:26):
Hello, welcome to Love Your Body, Love Your Life.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
My name is Jenna. I'm the host of this podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
Welcome back to myself, and welcome to all of my
audience that's listening live.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
I really appreciate it. And yeah, it's been a minute.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
I actually started this podcast back in twenty nineteen. I
had gone through a life coaching program and my book
was just about to be published. My book was published
in twenty twenty, early twenty twenty.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
And I did the show was on radio only at
the time.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
I'm on iHeartRadio, and then I left and I came
back in like twenty twenty two. I did it again
for a year, and now I'm back again.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
October twenty twenty four.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
And so thank you to Talk for TV and Rebel
and Dean and Wan and all the people behind the
scenes that have been on this podcast journey with me.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
I really do love it, you guys.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
I love talking about health and beauty and spirituality, which
is the basis of this podcast. And I love speaking
to women, and I'm hoping that this time around, I'm
able to really bring women on that are open and
willing to share some of their personal story because I
(01:45):
always feel that I learned best when I hear other
women talk about their personal journeys and what they've been through,
their triumphs, their tribulations, their wins, their losses. So I'm
excited to be able to bring on my next guest, Brandy.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
She's the owner of.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Rejuvenate eight OC, which is here in Newport Beach, California,
Orange County, California, where I live. We're going to be
talking about her business, which is body sculpting, and we're
also going to be diving deep into her personal story
as well in regards to sobriety. So I think it's
(02:24):
pretty fitting for right now. It's October, holidays are right
around the corner, and we want to feel good and
we want to look great, and so I feel like
this show is really fitting in the fact that we're
going to be talking about body sculpting and feeling good physically,
and we're also going to be talking.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
About staying healthy, staying.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
On balance and balance with your body and listening to
your body and knowing what to do versus when things
get stressful during the holidays, knowing what to do versus
taking that drink that you know you shouldn't take, or
taking that.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
Extra drink that you know you shouldn't take.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
So with that said, Brandy, welcome to Love your Body,
Love your Life.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
Hi, hi here, Yay. I'm so happy to have you on.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
Like I said, before we got on live, I thought
I was going to have to carry it on my
own for a bit.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
So now it all worked out.
Speaker 4 (03:27):
I got to move up some clients so I could
be here on time.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
Yay, I'm excited. Well, let's dive into your business a
little bit, Brandy.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
You mentioned a client, so talk to me about Rejuvenate
eight and what you do.
Speaker 4 (03:43):
Yeah, so a little backstory. I've been in the ascetic
industry for going on almost twenty two years now, and
I pretty much done everything in the industry from skincare
to medical devices to working with dermatologists, plastic surgeons, et cetera.
(04:04):
And about seven years ago, I have a mentor and
he had always told me, you know, because I was
trying to find my niche in the industry, like, you know,
what is it that like, I'm truly passionate about. And
he always told me, you know, you need to find something,
you know, that separates yourself from everyone else.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
And so.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
Obviously, you know.
Speaker 4 (04:28):
There's botox everywhere, there's fillers everywhere, lasers, all that kind
of stuff. So I wanted to do something different. And
you know, I'd been to Miami a few times, and
I noticed there body sculpting, you know, was a part
of their lifestyle, just like it would be like getting
a facial and those kind of things. And I kind
(04:51):
of like intrigued my interest into figuring out why lymphatic
treatments are so important. So I started doing lots of
research obviously, you know, some treatments myself, and not only
discovered the physical benefits as far as you know, a
more tone body, losing fat in you know, certain areas
(05:11):
that you carry extra fat, but also all the health
benefits of lymphatic treatments. So I did some trainings. I
did one here, I did one in Miami, and I
kind of wanted to My goal was always to adapt
that mentality here and coming and make bodies folsting or
lymphatic treatments kind of part of you know, everyone's life,
(05:33):
that health that makes sense. So in that, you know,
I started kind of really basic and just offering like
a couple different treatments, and then over the years I've
kind of expanded, so I offer everything from like full
body lymphatic to you know, fat reduction, to cellulate treatment
(05:54):
to tightening kind of a little more of a lot
more broad spectrum now.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
So yeah, that's what I do, and that's kind of.
Speaker 4 (06:02):
How I got into it, and it's always, you know,
still my mission to kind of educate people and like
you know, kind of speak more on why it's so
important to detox your lymphatic system and get the toxins
out for your health benefits, but also you know, to
kind of release a lot of that water weight and
(06:22):
extra fat that people carry around. And uh, you know
normal diet and exercise doesn't work.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
On So we do have a couple of questions that
doesn't come in Brandy, And yeah, so let's talk about,
like somebody else, what are the signs that the lymph
is actually congested or needs attention.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
So there can be.
Speaker 4 (06:47):
Several things, and again I'm not a medical provider. So
this I'm speaking on is all just from personal experience
and from.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
Working on clients.
Speaker 4 (06:56):
But if you get a lot of headaches, if your allergies,
you know, you're dealing with a lot of allergies. If
you feel really tired and lethargic, if you're retaining water
a lot, Like a lot of people come in and
they constantly have extra water weight either in their belly
or in their knees or ankles, those are all signs
(07:17):
that your lymphatic system is clogged up.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Other than body sculpting, can people just drink more water
or like, what else can they do to unclog like
because some people can't.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
I mean, let's be honest, they can't afford to come
in and do.
Speaker 4 (07:36):
Yeah, So there's obviously you know, exercise helps with that
vibration plate. The cheapest and easiest at home thing that
I recommend for all my clients to do is dry brushing.
You can get one on Amazon, you can get one
at Target, and it's just like a small wooden handle
(07:57):
brush and you can watch YouTube videos kind of the
proper way to do dry rushing. But that's a nice, easy,
you know, cheap and expensive way you can kind of
get your lymphatic moving.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
Doesn't the trampoline do that too, Brandy? Yeah, trampoline too.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
Yeah, we could just buy that on Amazon too, and
like just jump on that and I hear that that's
really good.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Okay, So somebody else is asking what's your favorite modality?
Speaker 3 (08:27):
I believe that was the question. Do you have a
favorite thing to work in your field? Like what's your kay?
Speaker 4 (08:32):
Yeah, so I my as I said, I'm always educating
and like learning new techniques and everything. And my latest
that I'm obsessed with it's called endospheres therapy, and essentially
they call it inner roller ball therapy, but it feels
like a massage and it's more of a deep lymphatic
than a traditional hand manual lymphatic.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
And you can treat the whole body.
Speaker 4 (08:55):
You can even treat the neck and jaw line and
give you kind of more of a contour neck and jawline.
So that's been my favorite lately.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
Is this the new treatment that you Okay? Yeah, yeah, yeah,
it's my favorite.
Speaker 4 (09:11):
I think everyone needs to do them like once a
month at least, especially for women around the time of
your cycle, like a week before your cycle, when you
kind of retain a lot of water.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
It's amazing.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
Okay, what's the most popular one in your is it
that gets snatched?
Speaker 3 (09:27):
I would say they get snatched.
Speaker 4 (09:30):
I deal with a lot of you know, clients that
have digestion issues or they just tend to carry that
lower belly that you know, whether it's from alcohol or
just digestion or whatever the case may be. So that
one I do a combination of the lymphatic massage the endosphere,
and then I also do with therapy, and then I
(09:51):
do ultrasound cavitation and then I do RS skin tightening.
So that's my little combination treatment mm hmm.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
And then what do some people have to do like
prior and like what's after care and before care?
Speaker 4 (10:06):
Like if there's no I always recommend no alcohol for
forty eight hours before forty eight hours after as you know,
I'm a big advocate for no alcohol anyways.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
And then also try to.
Speaker 4 (10:17):
Drink a gallon of water a day if possible. I
do have a lot of clients that actually don't even
like water, So I always say, whatever you're drinking, try
to double it because you really want to flesh everything
out through everything's going to be fleshed out through peat
or sweat. Infrared sauna is great. A low carb, high
(10:40):
protein diet, low sugar.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
Those kinds of things help.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
And so I'm just curious the clients that don't like water,
what do they drink?
Speaker 3 (10:51):
Hold it? Who knows?
Speaker 4 (10:54):
I have some that are like diet coke drinkers, you know.
And again it's it's progress not perfect, is always, like
my motto with everything in life. So whatever they can
do to kind of make those small changes, you know,
like I kind of work with them and like, oh,
let's try to get water and like put like lemon
and some mint in it, make it like flavorful, you know,
(11:15):
whatever they can do to kind of make me.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
Change, yeah, instead of the diet coat kind of thing.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
Yeah. Yeah, Okay, well I think we covered like all
of that. I mean there's the body image piece too.
I mean do women still come in and just talk
poorly on those?
Speaker 3 (11:35):
Yeah? Of course.
Speaker 4 (11:37):
I mean we're in Orange County, the land of perfection everybody,
and it kind of changes, you know, the facts of
like the perfect body change. So when I first started
my business, a lot of people were getting bbls, you know,
they were getting the fat taken from their stomach put
in their booty. So that look was more in and
(11:58):
it's kind of evolve and now we're back to more
of the model body being in. So I get a
lot of different things, like some people wanting a thigh
gap or they want kind of that over exaggerated waste
and you know, things like that. So the styles change constantly,
but I try to, you know, personalize and customize my
(12:21):
treatments to like whatever their ideal body is.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
That makes sense. That's so interesting, Brandy. I mean, we're
just so hard on ourselves.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
Yes, I remember getting my makeup done for a photoshoot
that I did, actually, like about a year ago with
Kevin Duff.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
She's a.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
She's a makeup artist here in Orange County, and we
were getting into that conversation of how she travels a lot, right,
so she sees all of different faces, and I remember
her telling me, like, Jenna, you know.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
It's just basically trend. Yeah, it's trend.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
So it's interesting to hear you say that too, because
you see so many different women.
Speaker 4 (13:06):
Yeah, kind of you know, usually what the celebrities are
doing kind of become the thing and it kind of
trinkles down.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Wow. So Brandy, how do you, like, how do you
help or support a woman that is really feeling really
down on her body.
Speaker 4 (13:26):
Oh that's a good question. I mean I do get
that a lot, and you know, it's just I think
the biggest problem we have nowadays is comparing on social
media and all the access we have to everything, right,
so self talk is a big one. And encouraging them
(13:49):
to work out. I feel like when you work out,
you take care of your health in that way, it
builds your confidence. Right, Like, think about it. Anytime we've
either gone through so thing or we're sick or what
have you, like, your self esteem kind of goes down
in a reaction to that.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
Right, So I feel like even.
Speaker 4 (14:09):
If you aren't where you want to be, when you're
working out and like taking care of yourself, it naturally
builds up that that confidence in yourself.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
Yes, thank you for saying that. Yeah, because I feel
like I.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
Feel like when we feel really good inside, it does
show no matter absolutely.
Speaker 3 (14:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
Yeah, Okay, Well let's I want to switch over and
talk more about your personal story, and of course it's
whatever you feel comfortable and sharing. Yeah, I really appreciate it,
you know. Yeah, Like I said in the intro. I
think it's perfect timing because holidays are right around the
(14:50):
corner and parties and stuff. So honestly, Brandy, I you know,
I've known you for a while. No, and I don't
even know like the full story, so I'm really yeah.
Speaker 4 (15:05):
Well, I don't know how much time we have, but
I can kind.
Speaker 5 (15:08):
Of tell you, you know.
Speaker 3 (15:11):
The general stories.
Speaker 4 (15:13):
So and I feel like a lot of people can
relate to it because my story is very relatable.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
Right.
Speaker 4 (15:20):
I didn't have some horrible upbringing or I wasn't living
on a street or anything like that. Like I was
in a normal, middle class family. So I was introduced
to alcohol at a very young age. I grew up
in this small town where there wasn't a lot to do, right,
(15:41):
and so I was introduced to stuff very early on.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
And I had an older boyfriend.
Speaker 4 (15:46):
Who also in turn introduced me to stuff at an
early age. So kind of the gist of it is
that I started drinking at maybe thirteen fourteen?
Speaker 3 (15:59):
And was it wine? Sorry, was it wine coolers or
like yeah, like the.
Speaker 4 (16:04):
Typical like wine coolers, boons, you know, like nad Dog
twenty twenty, like yeah, but we could get our hands
on right. And so the relatable part for someone I
think that is an addict or an alcoholic is that
sense of relief.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
Right.
Speaker 4 (16:25):
I always felt a void from a young age, right,
Like I said, I didn't have my parents, weren't beating me.
I wasn't like in some trauma situation anything like that.
It wasn't anything.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
Out of the norm. But I always had this void.
And when I.
Speaker 4 (16:41):
Took that first drink at thirteen fourteen, that that sense
of relief and that void was filed. That makes sense,
And so from that age on, I chased that escape, right.
But on the outside it was normal stuff. I was
a teenager, I had an older boyfriend. I was going
(17:03):
to parties, you know, stuff that like when you're young
you think is normal, right, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
He said, oh, so doesn't tease. I'm reading the questions. Okay,
you consume. I didn't think you consume.
Speaker 4 (17:20):
Yeah, we all tried the drinks at the early age.
It's very common. That's why I'm saying my story.
Speaker 3 (17:24):
It's relatable for people, right.
Speaker 4 (17:27):
So, so I chased that escape moving forward. But on
the outside it looked like normal stuff, you know, like
going to dinner with friends.
Speaker 3 (17:37):
But the difference for me is that.
Speaker 4 (17:41):
I wouldn't stop right like I always until I was
at a blackout or I was passed out or you know,
I didn't have that that end like, oh I've had enough,
right and it opened the doors. Like where I grew up,
Like there's a lot of drugs, but they weren't like
Orange County drugs.
Speaker 3 (17:59):
I'm sure they weren't clean.
Speaker 4 (18:01):
They weren't you know, who knows what was in it?
Speaker 3 (18:04):
Who knows what I tried? Like where did you grow up?
Speaker 2 (18:06):
Again?
Speaker 4 (18:07):
Pretty in a city north of Seattle. Okay, small town
north of Seattle. Yeah so yeah, So I just like
to point that out because things people have access to
here very different than what we had access to like
when I was growing up. So so yeah, so I
constantly chased that and that continued over the years. But
(18:28):
I was very high functioning. I always had good jobs.
I was successful in my industry. I always made it
to work like it didn't affect my day to day, right, So,
very high functioning. Fast forward to you know, life changes.
I went through a divorce, I moved to California. When
I moved to California in twenty twelve, that was a
(18:51):
whole new world. I was newly single, not newly single,
but like single ish for like a few years. So
it opened a lot of doors, you know that I
had never experienced, like parties.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
I had never experienced you know, that type of thing.
But the big message I'm.
Speaker 4 (19:11):
Trying to give with that is that I was always
trying to numb something, right, like always trying to escape
something I don't know. You know, It's like we could
go into a whole conversation of like what that was,
but but you know, it was still high functioning. And
then fast forward, it started to catch up with me.
I got two Duy's back to back. That didn't sober
(19:36):
me up, though, It just I learned how to like
keep on lifing with that, you know. And I worked
in medical sales at the time, so I had to like,
you know, do all these steps to like, you know,
make sure I had a license at all times, even
after the Duys. And then fast forward to I moved
to Orange County. Then fast forward to twenty eighteen. I
(20:04):
you know, that's a whole other story. But had you know,
not a good relationship with my kid's father, and he
you know, always kind of kind of alps to get
me a little bit and.
Speaker 3 (20:15):
Where most people, at least the person that I.
Speaker 4 (20:17):
Am, you know, I would go to my friend or
my kid's father and be like, you know, like I
think it's getting out of hand, like we should like
talk about this, like maybe you need to get some help.
Instead of doing that, a whole situation happened and my
daughter was taken from me. So yeah, so in my
(20:39):
eugenic so I'm forty five, I don't know what jen
that is.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
I don't think when you were California was it legal
or were you doing it?
Speaker 2 (20:49):
Then?
Speaker 3 (20:50):
Wait, what does that mean? I believe I don't know
what that means. Yeah, recreational legal. Alcohol's legal. Yeah, leg Yeah,
I'm not sure what that means.
Speaker 4 (21:05):
But anyways, long story short, Yeah, that daughter was taken
and so obviously you know, that was like a wake up.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
It was like a huge wake up call for me.
And was your daughter at the time, she was living
with me at the time. How old was she? Oh
she was let's.
Speaker 4 (21:24):
See, this was twenty eighteen, she was eleven, Okay, so
she was pretty young.
Speaker 3 (21:29):
Yeah, she was pretty young.
Speaker 4 (21:30):
And so we are most people that would be you know,
their rock bottom, right, and it was not my rock bottom. Okay, yeah,
which is you know, hard for a lot of people
to believe. But that's how that's how controlling addiction is
over you.
Speaker 3 (21:49):
You know, it's a very progressive disease.
Speaker 4 (21:52):
You can start thinking it's very normal, like I did
in my younger age, and you know, I'm a social drinker.
I'm not somebody that up in the morning. It was
drinking at seven am.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
That was not me.
Speaker 4 (22:04):
I was a very much go to dinner with my friends.
Speaker 3 (22:06):
And then then I.
Speaker 4 (22:07):
Just never ended kind of drinker. So that happened. I
did attempt for a short while, but that didn't stick.
Like I attempted to get sober, that didn't stick.
Speaker 3 (22:20):
I had some oh okay, I.
Speaker 4 (22:27):
Mean I was definitely dabbling and other things, but alcohol
was the primary substance.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
That alcohol was my drug of choice as we call it.
Speaker 4 (22:37):
So that was in about October, and then I didn't
officially get sober until January first January versus my sobriety date,
and this January I will have six years, which is
very God willing, of course. So you know, it was
(22:59):
kind of a back and forth thing from October until January,
where I made some attempts, but I wasn't fully you know,
as we say in sobriety, you have to surrender your control,
like you know, you're surrendering everything, surrendering that you no
longer have control.
Speaker 3 (23:17):
Was there a specific moment, Brandy, like did you wake
up one day and just be like today's day or
like something?
Speaker 4 (23:25):
Yeah? So the day that I woke up, I was
visiting in Seattle because I had visitations with my kids
at the time, and I had gone out New Year's
Eve and again I was supposed to have like a
nine am visitation with my kids, and I was blacked
(23:46):
out the night before, and I woke.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
Up that next morning.
Speaker 4 (23:50):
I couldn't even look at myself in the mirror, you know,
Like I was like, I am done whatever, you know,
spiritual you know, awakening I had was at that moment
because I couldn't even bear to look at myself.
Speaker 3 (24:05):
I was like, who are you?
Speaker 4 (24:07):
You know, because I couldn't do it for my kids,
I had to do it for myself.
Speaker 3 (24:12):
Right.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
But so found what you just said, like, because I
feel like that is the thing, you know, I've found
people with alcoholic.
Speaker 3 (24:24):
Issues. Yeah, word, like, you know, I'll do it.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
I'll get sober and it's like always for somebody else
or something else, and that I feel is just that's
the thing, that's where you're doing it for an end result, right,
like to save your job, to save your marriage or
what have you, and it just.
Speaker 4 (24:44):
Doesn't it doesn't work that way. So it's unfortunate that,
you know, I had the time period, and you know,
trust me, I've had the mom guilt for many years now,
but ultimately it stuck. Once I decided I no longer
have control of my life and I'm surrendering and I
(25:06):
want to do this for myself, you know. So I
entered into a sober living I entered into a treatment program.
I was going to AA five six days a week.
I was fully committed to sobriety at that point.
Speaker 3 (25:23):
Was that in California, Brandy or yeah?
Speaker 4 (25:26):
Yeah, I was here in California. Okay, So my kid's
father had their kids and he lives in Seattle, so
they were with him at the time.
Speaker 3 (25:36):
And yes, I have sense have so we'll get into that.
Speaker 4 (25:40):
But I committed, you know, everything, My whole life was
treatment AA. Obviously, you go through a lot of working
through your internal shit and it gets really ugly and
it's it's not rainbows and butterflies.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
You know.
Speaker 3 (25:57):
Yeah, So there was a lot of that.
Speaker 4 (26:00):
I was really blessed, which you know, that's I have
so many stories. But that's a whole nother story because
around that time is when I met my ex that
passed away. I literally met him on my day two
of being sober.
Speaker 3 (26:17):
Yeah he was was he in the program? Yeah he
was in the program. Okay, I didn't know that.
Speaker 4 (26:23):
Okay, he was in the program and a literal angel
in my life, like as you can imagine, like I've
lost my kids, like at the time, like work was
to shit because you know, I was a mess, and
he literally we would go to meetings together. I wasn't eating,
(26:44):
he would take me.
Speaker 3 (26:45):
To eat, and I just lived and.
Speaker 4 (26:48):
Breathed treatment for that first year. So I still have
my visitations with my kids, but as you can imagine,
they had a lot of resentment and anger at me.
Speaker 3 (26:58):
Which is justifiable.
Speaker 4 (27:01):
So that relationship took, you know, years to build that
back up and build their trust back up and build
that bond with them again. So it was definitely one
of those situations that in hindsight, I'm so glad it
happened now, but you know at the time it's it's.
Speaker 3 (27:21):
Horrible m hm. You know.
Speaker 4 (27:24):
So so in that process, like with you know, meeting
you know, my ex that has now passed away, which
again is another story, but meeting him, you know, I
learned he was an amazing businessman and you know, he
taught me a lot, and he saw in me what
(27:45):
I couldn't see in myself at the time. You know,
sometimes you need that, like when you're not able to
see who you are and you're so primate.
Speaker 5 (27:53):
Tei Eyede, I know it's funny to go ahead because
I'm just thinking of my mentor or that she passed
this year in February.
Speaker 3 (28:04):
I remember you telling me, yeah, and she was like
that angel.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
To me, Brandy, like she saw in me so many things,
you know, and I she was like by my side.
She was like that one person that would tell me
like you got this, Jenna one hundred percent.
Speaker 3 (28:19):
Like she was like that one person that gave me
her court.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
And then I lost her in February, and it's like devastating,
you know, devastating.
Speaker 4 (28:31):
Because those those angels, as I call, are so rare
in this world and when you come across one, like
you just never forget it, you.
Speaker 3 (28:40):
Know, yeah, yeah, no, yeah, he was. He was that
and and I feel like still with us. Yes, there definitely,
I see this because they're coming up in conversations.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
So yeah, I mean it's hard not to have them
here physically, but it's like I have to always remember
that she's with me and he's with you, you know exactly.
Speaker 3 (29:07):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I love that.
Speaker 4 (29:10):
So that was that was who you know, kind of
helped me as I was going through everything I was
going through, and then also really inspired me to start
my business because he knew how hard I worked, he
knew how educated and knowledgeable I am in the aesthetic industry,
and he just knew like I was meant to do
something for myself. So he really inspired me to start
(29:34):
my business. And that's kind of how it all. You know,
visit her, yeah, and then you know, fast forward to now.
I'm extremely close with my kids. We're literally like best friends,
and you know, they're my little writer diyes, And I mean,
I'm so grateful it all happened. But I do feel like,
(30:00):
you know, if there's like a message that could come
out of it is that we need to sometimes hit
those rock bottoms. If I wouldn't never hit that rock bottom.
I wouldn't have the relationships I have with my kids,
my family, my friends, have my business, be able to
be thriving in my business and be who I am
(30:22):
to my clients. I wouldn't be who I am, you know.
So I'm grateful for it now, you know, in hindsight.
Speaker 2 (30:29):
Yeah, yeah, there's always a silver lining. There's always this
is happening for us. We just sometimes can't see it
in the moment exactly.
Speaker 3 (30:39):
Yeah, I agree.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
I feel like that brings because you know, I didn't
mention this earlier. We didn't talk about it really, but
I feel.
Speaker 3 (30:46):
Like I feel so safe in your little in your
little space.
Speaker 2 (30:50):
You know.
Speaker 3 (30:51):
Oh, and am happy.
Speaker 2 (30:54):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (30:54):
And I know other people feel that too.
Speaker 2 (30:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (30:57):
They always say this is my body Guild slash therapy session.
Speaker 2 (31:03):
So I think you bring a lot of like is
it humility, I guess, like a humble like.
Speaker 3 (31:10):
A humble feeling like it's okay to be perfect. Yeah,
even in this, like.
Speaker 2 (31:16):
You said, this Orange County, perfect kind of situation that
we're living in exactly. I think people can really take
down their hair and just talk exactly.
Speaker 4 (31:26):
And that's why I always like emphasize like what I
do being really good internally, because I need only feel
good internally, like that radiates externally.
Speaker 2 (31:38):
You know.
Speaker 3 (31:39):
Yeah, I'm just curious, Brandon question pop up. I know
it was something about the business. Oh were you in
this set it?
Speaker 4 (31:50):
Yes, I've been in the setic business since two thousand
and three, so really long time.
Speaker 3 (31:57):
Oh my gosh, yeah, twenty one years now.
Speaker 2 (32:01):
I didn't even know that either. I didn't know you
started young. Did you start Seattle?
Speaker 3 (32:06):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (32:06):
I when I was pregnant with my son, who's now
twenty one.
Speaker 3 (32:10):
I was in aesthetics school.
Speaker 4 (32:12):
Oh, I lived in medical aesthetics before medical aesthetics was
like even a thing like botox was just becoming a
popular thing. And so that's where I got a lot
of my training because I worked for a really popular
dermatology office up in Seattle. So I've got a lot
of my knowledge and training from that.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
So it's like meant to be, Yeah, exactly what happened?
Speaker 3 (32:41):
Yeah, So what do you do now?
Speaker 2 (32:43):
Like? I guess because I have an addictive personality, I
would say, but my my thing was always exercise, just
because my mom was exercise and she never drank, So
like I just kind of picked that up. And at
the time, it's some point like in my early twenties,
I would definitely over exercise because that was kind of
(33:05):
my thing when I got stressed. So but now when
you're stressed, like what do you do, like when you're
at a party, or do you ever get tempted or like,
how is it now?
Speaker 4 (33:16):
Yeah, I definitely don't get tempted. I'm not tempted whatsoever
by drugs or alcohol. But I will say it's definitely changed.
I'm like you, you know, once you're most of us
addicts alcoholics, we replace one addiction with another.
Speaker 3 (33:32):
Right, So for me too, fitness.
Speaker 4 (33:35):
Is definitely you know, I wouldn't call it an addiction,
but it's a healthy addiction if it is, you know.
But yeah, socially, I did not go out or do
anything for the first I would say a year, maybe
even longer. And of course, you know, in the sobriety
like journey, your whole circle and like people you surround
(33:56):
yourself with, changes. So now I'm completely comfortable and I'm
around friends and you know, people that are not big drinkers,
they're not like me and sober, and you know, in recovery, necessarily,
but they're just not big drinkers. We'll have like a
drink at dinner or.
Speaker 3 (34:16):
You know that type of thing.
Speaker 4 (34:17):
So it's not even an environment that I'm in. I'm
not a big partier obviously, but it did make it
a little challenging socially when I first got sober, because
I didn't really know. I found out in the process
I'm definitely more of an introvert introvert than I thought.
You know, it was actually the alcohol that made me
such an extrovert, so that was interesting to learn.
Speaker 3 (34:42):
You know. So I do kind of sometimes.
Speaker 4 (34:44):
Get a little socially awkward if I'm at like an
event or something, or I get a little more quiet,
which I wasn't before, So adjusting to that was you know,
it took some time for sure.
Speaker 3 (34:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (34:58):
Did certain people have have to leave your life? I
mean I know, like yes, okay.
Speaker 4 (35:04):
Yeah currently, and and when I got sober, yeah.
Speaker 3 (35:10):
For sure, definitely. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (35:13):
It's so crazy how the people in our lives have
such influence.
Speaker 4 (35:17):
Yeah, and you find that you don't have a lot
of common right, like if I'm not going to have
drinks with you, like what do we really have to
talk about? And now My circle is filled with women
that are business owners, are really high up in their
companies and they're wanting to you know, excel at everything
in life. And their you know, kids are the same age,
(35:38):
and you know, their journey is kind of more aligned
with where my journey is.
Speaker 3 (35:42):
So that's been a blessing too, you know.
Speaker 4 (35:47):
Yeah, my tribe is very strong now compared to before.
Speaker 3 (35:54):
On Instagram, Like traveling with all these girls I.
Speaker 4 (35:57):
Know and they're all every one of them teaches me
something and I learned something from them, and that is
like how female friendship should be, right, Like you should
all learn from each other and like inspire each other
in some way or another.
Speaker 3 (36:12):
Yeah, are they your clients too, Brandy? Let me think
some of my girlfriends are my clients. Yeah. I just
saw one today.
Speaker 4 (36:19):
Actually she's supposed she just had a baby, so we're
doing that post partum snap back, which you know I
love doing those.
Speaker 2 (36:28):
So Okay, So I always like to ask, like, what's
like a beauty secret of yours, or like your morning.
Speaker 3 (36:36):
Routine or your eating routine. That's a good one.
Speaker 4 (36:41):
Well I'll share something newer than I've added, because you know,
with a huge thing that's happened for me obviously in
the business that I'm in, and then also just where
I'm at in my journey with sobriety. It's really taken
me down to like this health journey right, Like I'm
always like educating myself and trying to figure out what
(37:04):
I can do to become more holistic. So I think
you know you've in our conversations we've talked to but
I've completely stopped. I don't even take tile and all
or exte unless I'm like dying and needed.
Speaker 3 (37:19):
But I try not to.
Speaker 4 (37:20):
Take even any over the counter medications now, so I've
been completely like free of those, you know, the COVID shot.
That's a whole nother conversation. Don't do any like vaccines
or anything. So in that process that I'm kind of
going down my own personal health journey, I've discovered NAD
which I am not a doctor again, so I can't
(37:42):
describe exactly what it is, but it basically revives yourself,
so all those old selves, it takes.
Speaker 3 (37:50):
Them and makes them new again.
Speaker 4 (37:52):
And I've just noticed so many benefits as far as
my energy, my sleep, my skin, you know, just overall
I feel better on it. So that's something newer I've
been doing about the last like year and a half.
Speaker 2 (38:08):
Is that an addition to because I don't you do
like the IV?
Speaker 3 (38:13):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (38:13):
So I do the NA D and IVY and then
I also take it in capsule form on.
Speaker 3 (38:20):
The daily basis too. Okay, what's yeah, I'm just like
again my addictive personality. I'm like addicted to it. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (38:29):
Can you share the like the the exact one you take?
Speaker 4 (38:35):
Yeah, I can share.
Speaker 3 (38:36):
That, Like, what's that? I said? I have it in
my email?
Speaker 2 (38:43):
Yeah, I can share Like Okay, okay, I thought maybe
you had, like you memorized.
Speaker 4 (38:48):
I've tried a lot of different ones because you know,
they get them from different sources and things like that.
But if you have financially can afford it and have
access to it, the IV is like the route to
go with it.
Speaker 3 (39:04):
I just started taking more bee supplements.
Speaker 2 (39:07):
MM.
Speaker 3 (39:10):
Yeah, they're good. Do you do it in capsule or
in the injection capsule?
Speaker 2 (39:15):
Oh? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (39:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (39:16):
Somebody just told me I should try to go get
like the injection for the bees.
Speaker 3 (39:21):
Oh yeah, gives you more energy.
Speaker 2 (39:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (39:24):
I do those too, I do all of it. I
do those too.
Speaker 4 (39:26):
At my girl that does like the botox and everything.
She does those, So I go to her for that
once a week, okay, and it feels amaze. You just
wake up feeling so good. You don't eat coffee or anything.
Speaker 3 (39:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (39:43):
Yeah, why can't you take taylanol or motrin like when
you're sober?
Speaker 3 (39:49):
I don't get it.
Speaker 4 (39:50):
Oh no, no, no, no no you can. So if
sorry that came out wrong, No, absolutely you can. Just
for me personally, I'm trying to do everything as holistic
as possib.
Speaker 3 (40:00):
No, I get it.
Speaker 2 (40:01):
Yeah, I'm like you, I hardly ever take thailanal.
Speaker 3 (40:05):
I don't take thailerl.
Speaker 2 (40:06):
Yeah, unless like I have a fever, then I'll take
like a half yeah exactly, or if I feel like
a migraine or something.
Speaker 3 (40:14):
Yeah. Okay. That's just been a.
Speaker 4 (40:16):
Personal choice, not something that has anything to do so
where people can take thailan al.
Speaker 3 (40:22):
Yeah okay, because I was like, I don't get it, Like.
Speaker 4 (40:25):
No, yeah, it's more for that.
Speaker 3 (40:28):
It's more pain meds.
Speaker 4 (40:30):
So like if I were to go get surgery, I
have to have someone else administer me like pain meds
post surgery.
Speaker 3 (40:38):
That's the proper way to do it. Got it, got it? Yeah,
Just so so nad's nad is like the hot thing
right now.
Speaker 2 (40:50):
Yeah thing, Okay, I'll have to choke my favorite.
Speaker 3 (40:54):
New thing that I'm doing right and morning.
Speaker 2 (40:58):
Routine or evening routine, Brandy, anything like different that you do.
Like I ice roll every morning. I don't know if
that's different or no. I love that ice rolling so good.
My morning routine obviously, you know I have.
Speaker 4 (41:13):
I'm really good with my skincare and all that kind
of thing. But my morning routine is very in line
with how it's been since I got sober, Like it's
more of a we do a morning prayer, we do
morning affirmations, meditation.
Speaker 3 (41:30):
I kind of like, go, don't go on my phone.
Speaker 2 (41:33):
I have.
Speaker 3 (41:33):
My morning routine is more with that.
Speaker 4 (41:37):
Beauty wise, I've transferred over to Korean skin care products
for the past year, and I'm really loving that. So
that is something kind of newer and different for me.
Since I worked in in germatology from a young age,
I was using medical grade products.
Speaker 3 (41:54):
From a very young age.
Speaker 4 (41:56):
So so I decided to switch it up because I
started reading all the benefits of like the Korean products
and they are more natural and that kind of thing.
So I've been loving that it is a lot of steps.
Speaker 3 (42:09):
It's about eight steps.
Speaker 4 (42:10):
Yeah, so it's.
Speaker 3 (42:12):
Like more than just a toner cleanser moisturizer. Oh my gosh,
there's a.
Speaker 4 (42:17):
Lot of sas in the double cleansing and the whole thing.
Speaker 3 (42:20):
But I love it. I love it. Do you do
that morning and night? Mm hmmm, yep, I go morning
and night. Okay. My kind just.
Speaker 4 (42:29):
Feels more like hydrated and like, I don't know how
to explain it, but it feels better because I think
when I was using medical products, you're constantly going through
the sloughing off phase. Yes, so I was constantly in
that like drier phase with the medical products, and no
not to them.
Speaker 3 (42:47):
They're amazing.
Speaker 4 (42:48):
I just took a break because i'd been using them
for like twenty years, you know.
Speaker 2 (42:53):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, I get it. My neighbor actually
just texted me recently.
Speaker 3 (42:58):
With the Korean like skincare.
Speaker 4 (43:01):
Oh good, Yeah you should try.
Speaker 2 (43:03):
It, I know, because now you're bringing it up and yeah,
when she texted me, I'm like, uh, like I'm not
going to do that, you know, just because like I
use a bore and like the medical grade stuff you should.
Speaker 4 (43:16):
I used to like switch it up a little and
just see, yeah I will.
Speaker 2 (43:19):
I will because I haven't done anything, like I haven't
done any Boltoks or anything like that.
Speaker 3 (43:27):
Well, you are amazing, I know, believe it or not,
I have not.
Speaker 2 (43:32):
You like it?
Speaker 3 (43:32):
You like a girl. I'm afraid that genetic I do.
Speaker 2 (43:36):
I do have good genetics, but I'm afraid to start because.
Speaker 3 (43:40):
Oh yeah, once you start, you won't want to not
do it, so I know, I know. Yeah, Well, okay,
what's that? I think there was a question about that,
Yeah there was.
Speaker 2 (43:53):
It was something around how do you know which one
is working if you're taking more than one is? Or
do they work in unison? Are we talking about? What
are we talking about?
Speaker 3 (44:07):
That question came in when you were talking about the
IB treatments and.
Speaker 4 (44:12):
Oh okay, so how I understand it? And again this
would be a better question for like the nurse doing it.
But how I understand it is you do the NADIV
somewhat closer together to kind of build it up in
your body and then you can kind of start spreading
it out. So once I got to where I was
doing it, I only do it once every like three months.
Speaker 2 (44:32):
Now.
Speaker 3 (44:33):
That's why I take.
Speaker 2 (44:34):
That home.
Speaker 3 (44:37):
Pills as well, so I did it kind of close together.
Speaker 4 (44:40):
I did it weekly for I would say a couple months,
and then I started kind of spreading it out.
Speaker 3 (44:47):
That sense, so it kind of builds up in your body.
Speaker 2 (44:51):
Yeah, maybe it just kind of depends on the person, because.
Speaker 3 (44:55):
Yeah, it's probably very individual. Totally person too.
Speaker 2 (44:59):
Yeah, yeah, like if you're if you're more sensitive, I
would say just maybe take it like a little bit
to start and then yeah.
Speaker 4 (45:09):
Yeah, I would say so too, or just yeah, ask a.
Speaker 3 (45:13):
There's so many.
Speaker 4 (45:14):
IVY businesses popping up everywhere. They they would know the best.
But that's how I did it, amazing.
Speaker 3 (45:23):
Well, people can find you where. Oh so my.
Speaker 4 (45:29):

Hello, welcome to Love Your Body, Love Your Life.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
My name is Jenna. I'm the host of this podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
Welcome back to myself, and welcome to all of my
audience that's listening live.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
I really appreciate it. And yeah, it's been a minute.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
I actually started this podcast back in twenty nineteen. I
had gone through a life coaching program and my book
was just about to be published. My book was published
in twenty twenty, early twenty twenty.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
And I did the show was on radio only at
the time.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
I'm on iHeartRadio, and then I left and I came
back in like twenty twenty two. I did it again
for a year, and now I'm back again.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
October twenty twenty four.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
And so thank you to Talk for TV and Rebel
and Dean and Wan and all the people behind the
scenes that have been on this podcast journey with me.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
I really do love it, you guys.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
I love talking about health and beauty and spirituality, which
is the basis of this podcast. And I love speaking
to women, and I'm hoping that this time around, I'm
able to really bring women on that are open and
willing to share some of their personal story because I
(01:45):
always feel that I learned best when I hear other
women talk about their personal journeys and what they've been through,
their triumphs, their tribulations, their wins, their losses. So I'm
excited to be able to bring on my next guest, Brandy.
Speaker 3 (02:02):

talking about her business, which is body sculpting, and we're
also going to be diving deep into her personal story
as well in regards to sobriety. So I think it's
(02:24):
pretty fitting for right now. It's October, holidays are right
around the corner, and we want to feel good and
we want to look great, and so I feel like
this show is really fitting in the fact that we're
going to be talking about body sculpting and feeling good physically,
and we're also going to be talking.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
About staying healthy, staying.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
On balance and balance with your body and listening to
your body and knowing what to do versus when things
get stressful during the holidays, knowing what to do versus
taking that drink that you know you shouldn't take, or
taking that.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
Extra drink that you know you shouldn't take.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
So with that said, Brandy, welcome to Love your Body,
Love your Life.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
Hi, hi here, Yay. I'm so happy to have you on.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
Like I said, before we got on live, I thought
I was going to have to carry it on my
own for a bit.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
So now it all worked out.
Speaker 4 (03:27):
I got to move up some clients so I could
be here on time.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
Yay, I'm excited. Well, let's dive into your business a
little bit, Brandy.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
You mentioned a client, so talk to me about Rejuvenate
eight and what you do.
Speaker 4 (03:43):
Yeah, so a little backstory. I've been in the ascetic
industry for going on almost twenty two years now, and
I pretty much done everything in the industry from skincare
to medical devices to working with dermatologists, plastic surgeons, et cetera.
(04:04):
And about seven years ago, I have a mentor and
he had always told me, you know, because I was
trying to find my niche in the industry, like, you know,
what is it that like, I'm truly passionate about. And
he always told me, you know, you need to find something,
you know, that separates yourself from everyone else.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
And so.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
Obviously, you know.
Speaker 4 (04:28):
There's botox everywhere, there's fillers everywhere, lasers, all that kind
of stuff. So I wanted to do something different. And
you know, I'd been to Miami a few times, and
I noticed there body sculpting, you know, was a part
of their lifestyle, just like it would be like getting
a facial and those kind of things. And I kind
(04:51):
of like intrigued my interest into figuring out why lymphatic
treatments are so important. So I started doing lots of
research obviously, you know, some treatments myself, and not only
discovered the physical benefits as far as you know, a
more tone body, losing fat in you know, certain areas
(05:11):
that you carry extra fat, but also all the health
benefits of lymphatic treatments. So I did some trainings. I
did one here, I did one in Miami, and I
kind of wanted to My goal was always to adapt
that mentality here and coming and make bodies folsting or
lymphatic treatments kind of part of you know, everyone's life,
(05:33):
that health that makes sense. So in that, you know,
I started kind of really basic and just offering like
a couple different treatments, and then over the years I've
kind of expanded, so I offer everything from like full
body lymphatic to you know, fat reduction, to cellulate treatment
(05:54):
to tightening kind of a little more of a lot
more broad spectrum now.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
So yeah, that's what I do, and that's kind of.
Speaker 4 (06:02):
How I got into it, and it's always, you know,
still my mission to kind of educate people and like
you know, kind of speak more on why it's so
important to detox your lymphatic system and get the toxins
out for your health benefits, but also you know, to
kind of release a lot of that water weight and
(06:22):
extra fat that people carry around. And uh, you know
normal diet and exercise doesn't work.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
On So we do have a couple of questions that
doesn't come in Brandy, And yeah, so let's talk about,
like somebody else, what are the signs that the lymph
is actually congested or needs attention.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
So there can be.
Speaker 4 (06:47):
Several things, and again I'm not a medical provider. So
this I'm speaking on is all just from personal experience
and from.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
Working on clients.
Speaker 4 (06:56):
But if you get a lot of headaches, if your allergies,
you know, you're dealing with a lot of allergies. If
you feel really tired and lethargic, if you're retaining water
a lot, Like a lot of people come in and
they constantly have extra water weight either in their belly
or in their knees or ankles, those are all signs
(07:17):
that your lymphatic system is clogged up.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Other than body sculpting, can people just drink more water
or like, what else can they do to unclog like
because some people can't.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
I mean, let's be honest, they can't afford to come
in and do.
Speaker 4 (07:36):
Yeah, So there's obviously you know, exercise helps with that
vibration plate. The cheapest and easiest at home thing that
I recommend for all my clients to do is dry brushing.
You can get one on Amazon, you can get one
at Target, and it's just like a small wooden handle
(07:57):
brush and you can watch YouTube videos kind of the
proper way to do dry rushing. But that's a nice, easy,
you know, cheap and expensive way you can kind of
get your lymphatic moving.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
Doesn't the trampoline do that too, Brandy? Yeah, trampoline too.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
Yeah, we could just buy that on Amazon too, and
like just jump on that and I hear that that's
really good.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Okay, So somebody else is asking what's your favorite modality?
Speaker 3 (08:27):
I believe that was the question. Do you have a
favorite thing to work in your field? Like what's your kay?
Speaker 4 (08:32):
Yeah, so I my as I said, I'm always educating
and like learning new techniques and everything. And my latest
that I'm obsessed with it's called endospheres therapy, and essentially
they call it inner roller ball therapy, but it feels
like a massage and it's more of a deep lymphatic
than a traditional hand manual lymphatic.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
And you can treat the whole body.
Speaker 4 (08:55):
You can even treat the neck and jaw line and
give you kind of more of a contour neck and jawline.
So that's been my favorite lately.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
Is this the new treatment that you Okay? Yeah, yeah, yeah,
it's my favorite.
Speaker 4 (09:11):
I think everyone needs to do them like once a
month at least, especially for women around the time of
your cycle, like a week before your cycle, when you
kind of retain a lot of water.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
It's amazing.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
Okay, what's the most popular one in your is it
that gets snatched?
Speaker 3 (09:27):
I would say they get snatched.
Speaker 4 (09:30):
I deal with a lot of you know, clients that
have digestion issues or they just tend to carry that
lower belly that you know, whether it's from alcohol or
just digestion or whatever the case may be. So that
one I do a combination of the lymphatic massage the endosphere,
and then I also do with therapy, and then I
(09:51):
do ultrasound cavitation and then I do RS skin tightening.
So that's my little combination treatment mm hmm.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
And then what do some people have to do like
prior and like what's after care and before care?
Speaker 4 (10:06):
Like if there's no I always recommend no alcohol for
forty eight hours before forty eight hours after as you know,
I'm a big advocate for no alcohol anyways.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
And then also try to.
Speaker 4 (10:17):
Drink a gallon of water a day if possible. I
do have a lot of clients that actually don't even
like water, So I always say, whatever you're drinking, try
to double it because you really want to flesh everything
out through everything's going to be fleshed out through peat
or sweat. Infrared sauna is great. A low carb, high
(10:40):
protein diet, low sugar.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
Those kinds of things help.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
And so I'm just curious the clients that don't like water,
what do they drink?
Speaker 3 (10:51):
Hold it? Who knows?
Speaker 4 (10:54):
I have some that are like diet coke drinkers, you know.
And again it's it's progress not perfect, is always, like
my motto with everything in life. So whatever they can
do to kind of make those small changes, you know,
like I kind of work with them and like, oh,
let's try to get water and like put like lemon
and some mint in it, make it like flavorful, you know,
(11:15):
whatever they can do to kind of make me.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
Change, yeah, instead of the diet coat kind of thing.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
Yeah. Yeah, Okay, well I think we covered like all
of that. I mean there's the body image piece too.
I mean do women still come in and just talk
poorly on those?
Speaker 3 (11:35):
Yeah? Of course.
Speaker 4 (11:37):
I mean we're in Orange County, the land of perfection everybody,
and it kind of changes, you know, the facts of
like the perfect body change. So when I first started
my business, a lot of people were getting bbls, you know,
they were getting the fat taken from their stomach put
in their booty. So that look was more in and
(11:58):
it's kind of evolve and now we're back to more
of the model body being in. So I get a
lot of different things, like some people wanting a thigh
gap or they want kind of that over exaggerated waste
and you know, things like that. So the styles change constantly,
but I try to, you know, personalize and customize my
(12:21):
treatments to like whatever their ideal body is.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
That makes sense. That's so interesting, Brandy. I mean, we're
just so hard on ourselves.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
Yes, I remember getting my makeup done for a photoshoot
that I did, actually, like about a year ago with
Kevin Duff.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
She's a.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
She's a makeup artist here in Orange County, and we
were getting into that conversation of how she travels a lot, right,
so she sees all of different faces, and I remember
her telling me, like, Jenna, you know.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
It's just basically trend. Yeah, it's trend.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
So it's interesting to hear you say that too, because
you see so many different women.
Speaker 4 (13:06):
Yeah, kind of you know, usually what the celebrities are
doing kind of become the thing and it kind of
trinkles down.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Wow. So Brandy, how do you, like, how do you
help or support a woman that is really feeling really
down on her body.
Speaker 4 (13:26):
Oh that's a good question. I mean I do get
that a lot, and you know, it's just I think
the biggest problem we have nowadays is comparing on social
media and all the access we have to everything, right,
so self talk is a big one. And encouraging them
(13:49):
to work out. I feel like when you work out,
you take care of your health in that way, it
builds your confidence. Right, Like, think about it. Anytime we've
either gone through so thing or we're sick or what
have you, like, your self esteem kind of goes down
in a reaction to that.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
Right, So I feel like even.
Speaker 4 (14:09):
If you aren't where you want to be, when you're
working out and like taking care of yourself, it naturally
builds up that that confidence in yourself.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
Yes, thank you for saying that. Yeah, because I feel
like I.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
Feel like when we feel really good inside, it does
show no matter absolutely.
Speaker 3 (14:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
Yeah, Okay, Well let's I want to switch over and
talk more about your personal story, and of course it's
whatever you feel comfortable and sharing. Yeah, I really appreciate it,
you know. Yeah, Like I said in the intro. I
think it's perfect timing because holidays are right around the
(14:50):
corner and parties and stuff. So honestly, Brandy, I you know,
I've known you for a while. No, and I don't
even know like the full story, so I'm really yeah.
Speaker 4 (15:05):
Well, I don't know how much time we have, but
I can kind.
Speaker 5 (15:08):
Of tell you, you know.
Speaker 3 (15:11):
The general stories.
Speaker 4 (15:13):
So and I feel like a lot of people can
relate to it because my story is very relatable.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
Right.
Speaker 4 (15:20):
I didn't have some horrible upbringing or I wasn't living
on a street or anything like that. Like I was
in a normal, middle class family. So I was introduced
to alcohol at a very young age. I grew up
in this small town where there wasn't a lot to do, right,
(15:41):
and so I was introduced to stuff very early on.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
And I had an older boyfriend.
Speaker 4 (15:46):
Who also in turn introduced me to stuff at an
early age. So kind of the gist of it is
that I started drinking at maybe thirteen fourteen?
Speaker 3 (15:59):
And was it wine? Sorry, was it wine coolers or
like yeah, like the.
Speaker 4 (16:04):
Typical like wine coolers, boons, you know, like nad Dog
twenty twenty, like yeah, but we could get our hands
on right. And so the relatable part for someone I
think that is an addict or an alcoholic is that
sense of relief.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
Right.
Speaker 4 (16:25):
I always felt a void from a young age, right,
Like I said, I didn't have my parents, weren't beating me.
I wasn't like in some trauma situation anything like that.
It wasn't anything.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
Out of the norm. But I always had this void.
And when I.
Speaker 4 (16:41):
Took that first drink at thirteen fourteen, that that sense
of relief and that void was filed. That makes sense,
And so from that age on, I chased that escape, right.
But on the outside it was normal stuff. I was
a teenager, I had an older boyfriend. I was going
(17:03):
to parties, you know, stuff that like when you're young
you think is normal, right, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
He said, oh, so doesn't tease. I'm reading the questions. Okay,
you consume. I didn't think you consume.
Speaker 4 (17:20):
Yeah, we all tried the drinks at the early age.
It's very common. That's why I'm saying my story.
Speaker 3 (17:24):
It's relatable for people, right.
Speaker 4 (17:27):
So, so I chased that escape moving forward. But on
the outside it looked like normal stuff, you know, like
going to dinner with friends.
Speaker 3 (17:37):
But the difference for me is that.
Speaker 4 (17:41):
I wouldn't stop right like I always until I was
at a blackout or I was passed out or you know,
I didn't have that that end like, oh I've had enough,
right and it opened the doors. Like where I grew up,
Like there's a lot of drugs, but they weren't like
Orange County drugs.
Speaker 3 (17:59):
I'm sure they weren't clean.
Speaker 4 (18:01):
They weren't you know, who knows what was in it?
Speaker 3 (18:04):
Who knows what I tried? Like where did you grow up?
Speaker 2 (18:06):
Again?
Speaker 4 (18:07):
Pretty in a city north of Seattle. Okay, small town
north of Seattle. Yeah so yeah, So I just like
to point that out because things people have access to
here very different than what we had access to like
when I was growing up. So so yeah, so I
constantly chased that and that continued over the years. But
(18:28):
I was very high functioning. I always had good jobs.
I was successful in my industry. I always made it
to work like it didn't affect my day to day, right, So,
very high functioning. Fast forward to you know, life changes.
I went through a divorce, I moved to California. When
I moved to California in twenty twelve, that was a
(18:51):
whole new world. I was newly single, not newly single,
but like single ish for like a few years. So
it opened a lot of doors, you know that I
had never experienced, like parties.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
I had never experienced you know, that type of thing.
But the big message I'm.
Speaker 4 (19:11):
Trying to give with that is that I was always
trying to numb something, right, like always trying to escape
something I don't know. You know, It's like we could
go into a whole conversation of like what that was,
but but you know, it was still high functioning. And
then fast forward, it started to catch up with me.
I got two Duy's back to back. That didn't sober
(19:36):
me up, though, It just I learned how to like
keep on lifing with that, you know. And I worked
in medical sales at the time, so I had to like,
you know, do all these steps to like, you know,
make sure I had a license at all times, even
after the Duys. And then fast forward to I moved
to Orange County. Then fast forward to twenty eighteen. I
(20:04):
you know, that's a whole other story. But had you know,
not a good relationship with my kid's father, and he
you know, always kind of kind of alps to get
me a little bit and.
Speaker 3 (20:15):
Where most people, at least the person that I.
Speaker 4 (20:17):
Am, you know, I would go to my friend or
my kid's father and be like, you know, like I
think it's getting out of hand, like we should like
talk about this, like maybe you need to get some help.
Instead of doing that, a whole situation happened and my
daughter was taken from me. So yeah, so in my
(20:39):
eugenic so I'm forty five, I don't know what jen
that is.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
I don't think when you were California was it legal
or were you doing it?
Speaker 2 (20:49):
Then?
Speaker 3 (20:50):
Wait, what does that mean? I believe I don't know
what that means. Yeah, recreational legal. Alcohol's legal. Yeah, leg Yeah,
I'm not sure what that means.
Speaker 4 (21:05):
But anyways, long story short, Yeah, that daughter was taken
and so obviously you know, that was like a wake up.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
It was like a huge wake up call for me.
And was your daughter at the time, she was living
with me at the time. How old was she? Oh
she was let's.
Speaker 4 (21:24):
See, this was twenty eighteen, she was eleven, Okay, so
she was pretty young.
Speaker 3 (21:29):
Yeah, she was pretty young.
Speaker 4 (21:30):
And so we are most people that would be you know,
their rock bottom, right, and it was not my rock bottom. Okay, yeah,
which is you know, hard for a lot of people
to believe. But that's how that's how controlling addiction is
over you.
Speaker 3 (21:49):
You know, it's a very progressive disease.
Speaker 4 (21:52):
You can start thinking it's very normal, like I did
in my younger age, and you know, I'm a social drinker.
I'm not somebody that up in the morning. It was
drinking at seven am.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
That was not me.
Speaker 4 (22:04):
I was a very much go to dinner with my friends.
Speaker 3 (22:06):
And then then I.
Speaker 4 (22:07):
Just never ended kind of drinker. So that happened. I
did attempt for a short while, but that didn't stick.
Like I attempted to get sober, that didn't stick.
Speaker 3 (22:20):
I had some oh okay, I.
Speaker 4 (22:27):
Mean I was definitely dabbling and other things, but alcohol
was the primary substance.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
That alcohol was my drug of choice as we call it.
Speaker 4 (22:37):
So that was in about October, and then I didn't
officially get sober until January first January versus my sobriety date,
and this January I will have six years, which is
very God willing, of course. So you know, it was
(22:59):
kind of a back and forth thing from October until January,
where I made some attempts, but I wasn't fully you know,
as we say in sobriety, you have to surrender your control,
like you know, you're surrendering everything, surrendering that you no
longer have control.
Speaker 3 (23:17):
Was there a specific moment, Brandy, like did you wake
up one day and just be like today's day or
like something?
Speaker 4 (23:25):
Yeah? So the day that I woke up, I was
visiting in Seattle because I had visitations with my kids
at the time, and I had gone out New Year's
Eve and again I was supposed to have like a
nine am visitation with my kids, and I was blacked
(23:46):
out the night before, and I woke.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
Up that next morning.
Speaker 4 (23:50):
I couldn't even look at myself in the mirror, you know,
Like I was like, I am done whatever, you know,
spiritual you know, awakening I had was at that moment
because I couldn't even bear to look at myself.
Speaker 3 (24:05):
I was like, who are you?
Speaker 4 (24:07):
You know, because I couldn't do it for my kids,
I had to do it for myself.
Speaker 3 (24:12):
Right.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
But so found what you just said, like, because I
feel like that is the thing, you know, I've found
people with alcoholic.
Speaker 3 (24:24):
Issues. Yeah, word, like, you know, I'll do it.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
I'll get sober and it's like always for somebody else
or something else, and that I feel is just that's
the thing, that's where you're doing it for an end result, right,
like to save your job, to save your marriage or
what have you, and it just.
Speaker 4 (24:44):
Doesn't it doesn't work that way. So it's unfortunate that,
you know, I had the time period, and you know,
trust me, I've had the mom guilt for many years now,
but ultimately it stuck. Once I decided I no longer
have control of my life and I'm surrendering and I
(25:06):
want to do this for myself, you know. So I
entered into a sober living I entered into a treatment program.
I was going to AA five six days a week.
I was fully committed to sobriety at that point.
Speaker 3 (25:23):
Was that in California, Brandy or yeah?
Speaker 4 (25:26):
Yeah, I was here in California. Okay, So my kid's
father had their kids and he lives in Seattle, so
they were with him at the time.
Speaker 3 (25:36):
And yes, I have sense have so we'll get into that.
Speaker 4 (25:40):
But I committed, you know, everything, My whole life was
treatment AA. Obviously, you go through a lot of working
through your internal shit and it gets really ugly and
it's it's not rainbows and butterflies.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
You know.
Speaker 3 (25:57):
Yeah, So there was a lot of that.
Speaker 4 (26:00):
I was really blessed, which you know, that's I have
so many stories. But that's a whole nother story because
around that time is when I met my ex that
passed away. I literally met him on my day two
of being sober.
Speaker 3 (26:17):
Yeah he was was he in the program? Yeah he
was in the program. Okay, I didn't know that.
Speaker 4 (26:23):
Okay, he was in the program and a literal angel
in my life, like as you can imagine, like I've
lost my kids, like at the time, like work was
to shit because you know, I was a mess, and
he literally we would go to meetings together. I wasn't eating,
(26:44):
he would take me.
Speaker 3 (26:45):
To eat, and I just lived and.
Speaker 4 (26:48):
Breathed treatment for that first year. So I still have
my visitations with my kids, but as you can imagine,
they had a lot of resentment and anger at me.
Speaker 3 (26:58):
Which is justifiable.
Speaker 4 (27:01):
So that relationship took, you know, years to build that
back up and build their trust back up and build
that bond with them again. So it was definitely one
of those situations that in hindsight, I'm so glad it
happened now, but you know at the time it's it's.
Speaker 3 (27:21):
Horrible m hm. You know.
Speaker 4 (27:24):
So so in that process, like with you know, meeting
you know, my ex that has now passed away, which
again is another story, but meeting him, you know, I
learned he was an amazing businessman and you know, he
taught me a lot, and he saw in me what
(27:45):
I couldn't see in myself at the time. You know,
sometimes you need that, like when you're not able to
see who you are and you're so primate.
Speaker 5 (27:53):
Tei Eyede, I know it's funny to go ahead because
I'm just thinking of my mentor or that she passed
this year in February.
Speaker 3 (28:04):
I remember you telling me, yeah, and she was like
that angel.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
To me, Brandy, like she saw in me so many things,
you know, and I she was like by my side.
She was like that one person that would tell me
like you got this, Jenna one hundred percent.
Speaker 3 (28:19):
Like she was like that one person that gave me
her court.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
And then I lost her in February, and it's like devastating,
you know, devastating.
Speaker 4 (28:31):
Because those those angels, as I call, are so rare
in this world and when you come across one, like
you just never forget it, you.
Speaker 3 (28:40):
Know, yeah, yeah, no, yeah, he was. He was that
and and I feel like still with us. Yes, there definitely,
I see this because they're coming up in conversations.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
So yeah, I mean it's hard not to have them
here physically, but it's like I have to always remember
that she's with me and he's with you, you know exactly.
Speaker 3 (29:07):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I love that.
Speaker 4 (29:10):
So that was that was who you know, kind of
helped me as I was going through everything I was
going through, and then also really inspired me to start
my business because he knew how hard I worked, he
knew how educated and knowledgeable I am in the aesthetic industry,
and he just knew like I was meant to do
something for myself. So he really inspired me to start
(29:34):
my business. And that's kind of how it all. You know,
visit her, yeah, and then you know, fast forward to now.
I'm extremely close with my kids. We're literally like best friends,
and you know, they're my little writer diyes, And I mean,
I'm so grateful it all happened. But I do feel like,
(30:00):
you know, if there's like a message that could come
out of it is that we need to sometimes hit
those rock bottoms. If I wouldn't never hit that rock bottom.
I wouldn't have the relationships I have with my kids,
my family, my friends, have my business, be able to
be thriving in my business and be who I am
(30:22):
to my clients. I wouldn't be who I am, you know.
So I'm grateful for it now, you know, in hindsight.
Speaker 2 (30:29):
Yeah, yeah, there's always a silver lining. There's always this
is happening for us. We just sometimes can't see it
in the moment exactly.
Speaker 3 (30:39):
Yeah, I agree.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
I feel like that brings because you know, I didn't
mention this earlier. We didn't talk about it really, but
I feel.
Speaker 3 (30:46):
Like I feel so safe in your little in your
little space.
Speaker 2 (30:50):
You know.
Speaker 3 (30:51):
Oh, and am happy.
Speaker 2 (30:54):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (30:54):
And I know other people feel that too.
Speaker 2 (30:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (30:57):
They always say this is my body Guild slash therapy session.
Speaker 2 (31:03):
So I think you bring a lot of like is
it humility, I guess, like a humble like.
Speaker 3 (31:10):
A humble feeling like it's okay to be perfect. Yeah,
even in this, like.
Speaker 2 (31:16):
You said, this Orange County, perfect kind of situation that
we're living in exactly. I think people can really take
down their hair and just talk exactly.
Speaker 4 (31:26):
And that's why I always like emphasize like what I
do being really good internally, because I need only feel
good internally, like that radiates externally.
Speaker 2 (31:38):
You know.
Speaker 3 (31:39):
Yeah, I'm just curious, Brandon question pop up. I know
it was something about the business. Oh were you in
this set it?
Speaker 4 (31:50):
Yes, I've been in the setic business since two thousand
and three, so really long time.
Speaker 3 (31:57):
Oh my gosh, yeah, twenty one years now.
Speaker 2 (32:01):
I didn't even know that either. I didn't know you
started young. Did you start Seattle?
Speaker 3 (32:06):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (32:06):
I when I was pregnant with my son, who's now
twenty one.
Speaker 3 (32:10):
I was in aesthetics school.
Speaker 4 (32:12):
Oh, I lived in medical aesthetics before medical aesthetics was
like even a thing like botox was just becoming a
popular thing. And so that's where I got a lot
of my training because I worked for a really popular
dermatology office up in Seattle. So I've got a lot
of my knowledge and training from that.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
So it's like meant to be, Yeah, exactly what happened?
Speaker 3 (32:41):
Yeah, So what do you do now?
Speaker 2 (32:43):
Like? I guess because I have an addictive personality, I
would say, but my my thing was always exercise, just
because my mom was exercise and she never drank, So
like I just kind of picked that up. And at
the time, it's some point like in my early twenties,
I would definitely over exercise because that was kind of
(33:05):
my thing when I got stressed. So but now when
you're stressed, like what do you do, like when you're
at a party, or do you ever get tempted or like,
how is it now?
Speaker 4 (33:16):
Yeah, I definitely don't get tempted. I'm not tempted whatsoever
by drugs or alcohol. But I will say it's definitely changed.
I'm like you, you know, once you're most of us
addicts alcoholics, we replace one addiction with another.
Speaker 3 (33:32):
Right, So for me too, fitness.
Speaker 4 (33:35):
Is definitely you know, I wouldn't call it an addiction,
but it's a healthy addiction if it is, you know.
But yeah, socially, I did not go out or do
anything for the first I would say a year, maybe
even longer. And of course, you know, in the sobriety
like journey, your whole circle and like people you surround
(33:56):
yourself with, changes. So now I'm completely comfortable and I'm
around friends and you know, people that are not big drinkers,
they're not like me and sober, and you know, in recovery, necessarily,
but they're just not big drinkers. We'll have like a
drink at dinner or.
Speaker 3 (34:16):
You know that type of thing.
Speaker 4 (34:17):
So it's not even an environment that I'm in. I'm
not a big partier obviously, but it did make it
a little challenging socially when I first got sober, because
I didn't really know. I found out in the process
I'm definitely more of an introvert introvert than I thought.
You know, it was actually the alcohol that made me
such an extrovert, so that was interesting to learn.
Speaker 3 (34:42):
You know. So I do kind of sometimes.
Speaker 4 (34:44):
Get a little socially awkward if I'm at like an
event or something, or I get a little more quiet,
which I wasn't before, So adjusting to that was you know,
it took some time for sure.
Speaker 3 (34:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (34:58):
Did certain people have have to leave your life? I
mean I know, like yes, okay.
Speaker 4 (35:04):
Yeah currently, and and when I got sober, yeah.
Speaker 3 (35:10):
For sure, definitely. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (35:13):
It's so crazy how the people in our lives have
such influence.
Speaker 4 (35:17):
Yeah, and you find that you don't have a lot
of common right, like if I'm not going to have
drinks with you, like what do we really have to
talk about? And now My circle is filled with women
that are business owners, are really high up in their
companies and they're wanting to you know, excel at everything
in life. And their you know, kids are the same age,
(35:38):
and you know, their journey is kind of more aligned
with where my journey is.
Speaker 3 (35:42):
So that's been a blessing too, you know.
Speaker 4 (35:47):
Yeah, my tribe is very strong now compared to before.
Speaker 3 (35:54):
On Instagram, Like traveling with all these girls I.
Speaker 4 (35:57):
Know and they're all every one of them teaches me
something and I learned something from them, and that is
like how female friendship should be, right, Like you should
all learn from each other and like inspire each other
in some way or another.
Speaker 3 (36:12):
Yeah, are they your clients too, Brandy? Let me think
some of my girlfriends are my clients. Yeah. I just
saw one today.
Speaker 4 (36:19):
Actually she's supposed she just had a baby, so we're
doing that post partum snap back, which you know I
love doing those.
Speaker 2 (36:28):
So Okay, So I always like to ask, like, what's
like a beauty secret of yours, or like your morning.
Speaker 3 (36:36):
Routine or your eating routine. That's a good one.
Speaker 4 (36:41):
Well I'll share something newer than I've added, because you know,
with a huge thing that's happened for me obviously in
the business that I'm in, and then also just where
I'm at in my journey with sobriety. It's really taken
me down to like this health journey right, Like I'm
always like educating myself and trying to figure out what
(37:04):
I can do to become more holistic. So I think
you know you've in our conversations we've talked to but
I've completely stopped. I don't even take tile and all
or exte unless I'm like dying and needed.
Speaker 3 (37:19):
But I try not to.
Speaker 4 (37:20):
Take even any over the counter medications now, so I've
been completely like free of those, you know, the COVID shot.
That's a whole nother conversation. Don't do any like vaccines
or anything. So in that process that I'm kind of
going down my own personal health journey, I've discovered NAD
which I am not a doctor again, so I can't
(37:42):
describe exactly what it is, but it basically revives yourself,
so all those old selves, it takes.
Speaker 3 (37:50):
Them and makes them new again.
Speaker 4 (37:52):
And I've just noticed so many benefits as far as
my energy, my sleep, my skin, you know, just overall
I feel better on it. So that's something newer I've
been doing about the last like year and a half.
Speaker 2 (38:08):
Is that an addition to because I don't you do
like the IV?
Speaker 3 (38:13):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (38:13):
So I do the NA D and IVY and then
I also take it in capsule form on.
Speaker 3 (38:20):
The daily basis too. Okay, what's yeah, I'm just like
again my addictive personality. I'm like addicted to it. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (38:29):
Can you share the like the the exact one you take?
Speaker 4 (38:35):
Yeah, I can share.
Speaker 3 (38:36):
That, Like, what's that? I said? I have it in
my email?
Speaker 2 (38:43):
Yeah, I can share Like Okay, okay, I thought maybe
you had, like you memorized.
Speaker 4 (38:48):
I've tried a lot of different ones because you know,
they get them from different sources and things like that.
But if you have financially can afford it and have
access to it, the IV is like the route to
go with it.
Speaker 3 (39:04):
I just started taking more bee supplements.
Speaker 2 (39:07):
MM.
Speaker 3 (39:10):
Yeah, they're good. Do you do it in capsule or
in the injection capsule?
Speaker 2 (39:15):
Oh? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (39:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (39:16):
Somebody just told me I should try to go get
like the injection for the bees.
Speaker 3 (39:21):
Oh yeah, gives you more energy.
Speaker 2 (39:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (39:24):
I do those too, I do all of it. I
do those too.
Speaker 4 (39:26):
At my girl that does like the botox and everything.
She does those, So I go to her for that
once a week, okay, and it feels amaze. You just
wake up feeling so good. You don't eat coffee or anything.
Speaker 3 (39:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (39:43):
Yeah, why can't you take taylanol or motrin like when
you're sober?
Speaker 3 (39:49):
I don't get it.
Speaker 4 (39:50):
Oh no, no, no, no no you can. So if
sorry that came out wrong, No, absolutely you can. Just
for me personally, I'm trying to do everything as holistic
as possib.
Speaker 3 (40:00):
No, I get it.
Speaker 2 (40:01):
Yeah, I'm like you, I hardly ever take thailanal.
Speaker 3 (40:05):
I don't take thailerl.
Speaker 2 (40:06):
Yeah, unless like I have a fever, then I'll take
like a half yeah exactly, or if I feel like
a migraine or something.
Speaker 3 (40:14):
Yeah. Okay. That's just been a.
Speaker 4 (40:16):
Personal choice, not something that has anything to do so
where people can take thailan al.
Speaker 3 (40:22):
Yeah okay, because I was like, I don't get it, Like.
Speaker 4 (40:25):
No, yeah, it's more for that.
Speaker 3 (40:28):
It's more pain meds.
Speaker 4 (40:30):
So like if I were to go get surgery, I
have to have someone else administer me like pain meds
post surgery.
Speaker 3 (40:38):
That's the proper way to do it. Got it, got it? Yeah,
Just so so nad's nad is like the hot thing
right now.
Speaker 2 (40:50):
Yeah thing, Okay, I'll have to choke my favorite.
Speaker 3 (40:54):
New thing that I'm doing right and morning.
Speaker 2 (40:58):
Routine or evening routine, Brandy, anything like different that you do.
Like I ice roll every morning. I don't know if
that's different or no. I love that ice rolling so good.
My morning routine obviously, you know I have.
Speaker 4 (41:13):
I'm really good with my skincare and all that kind
of thing. But my morning routine is very in line
with how it's been since I got sober, Like it's
more of a we do a morning prayer, we do
morning affirmations, meditation.
Speaker 3 (41:30):
I kind of like, go, don't go on my phone.
Speaker 2 (41:33):
I have.
Speaker 3 (41:33):
My morning routine is more with that.
Speaker 4 (41:37):
Beauty wise, I've transferred over to Korean skin care products
for the past year, and I'm really loving that. So
that is something kind of newer and different for me.
Since I worked in in germatology from a young age,
I was using medical grade products.
Speaker 3 (41:54):
From a very young age.
Speaker 4 (41:56):
So so I decided to switch it up because I
started reading all the benefits of like the Korean products
and they are more natural and that kind of thing.
So I've been loving that it is a lot of steps.
Speaker 3 (42:09):
It's about eight steps.
Speaker 4 (42:10):
Yeah, so it's.
Speaker 3 (42:12):
Like more than just a toner cleanser moisturizer. Oh my gosh,
there's a.
Speaker 4 (42:17):
Lot of sas in the double cleansing and the whole thing.
Speaker 3 (42:20):
But I love it. I love it. Do you do
that morning and night? Mm hmmm, yep, I go morning
and night. Okay. My kind just.
Speaker 4 (42:29):
Feels more like hydrated and like, I don't know how
to explain it, but it feels better because I think
when I was using medical products, you're constantly going through
the sloughing off phase. Yes, so I was constantly in
that like drier phase with the medical products, and no
not to them.
Speaker 3 (42:47):
They're amazing.
Speaker 4 (42:48):
I just took a break because i'd been using them
for like twenty years, you know.
Speaker 2 (42:53):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, I get it. My neighbor actually
just texted me recently.
Speaker 3 (42:58):
With the Korean like skincare.
Speaker 4 (43:01):
Oh good, Yeah you should try.
Speaker 2 (43:03):
It, I know, because now you're bringing it up and yeah,
when she texted me, I'm like, uh, like I'm not
going to do that, you know, just because like I
use a bore and like the medical grade stuff you should.
Speaker 4 (43:16):
I used to like switch it up a little and
just see, yeah I will.
Speaker 2 (43:19):
I will because I haven't done anything, like I haven't
done any Boltoks or anything like that.
Speaker 3 (43:27):
Well, you are amazing, I know, believe it or not,
I have not.
Speaker 2 (43:32):
You like it?
Speaker 3 (43:32):
You like a girl. I'm afraid that genetic I do.
Speaker 2 (43:36):
I do have good genetics, but I'm afraid to start because.
Speaker 3 (43:40):
Oh yeah, once you start, you won't want to not
do it, so I know, I know. Yeah, Well, okay,
what's that? I think there was a question about that,
Yeah there was.
Speaker 2 (43:53):
It was something around how do you know which one
is working if you're taking more than one is? Or
do they work in unison? Are we talking about? What
are we talking about?
Speaker 3 (44:07):
That question came in when you were talking about the
IB treatments and.
Speaker 4 (44:12):
Oh okay, so how I understand it? And again this
would be a better question for like the nurse doing it.
But how I understand it is you do the NADIV
somewhat closer together to kind of build it up in
your body and then you can kind of start spreading
it out. So once I got to where I was
doing it, I only do it once every like three months.
Speaker 2 (44:32):
Now.
Speaker 3 (44:33):
That's why I take.
Speaker 2 (44:34):
That home.
Speaker 3 (44:37):
Pills as well, so I did it kind of close together.
Speaker 4 (44:40):
I did it weekly for I would say a couple months,
and then I started kind of spreading it out.
Speaker 3 (44:47):
That sense, so it kind of builds up in your body.
Speaker 2 (44:51):
Yeah, maybe it just kind of depends on the person, because.
Speaker 3 (44:55):
Yeah, it's probably very individual. Totally person too.
Speaker 2 (44:59):
Yeah, yeah, like if you're if you're more sensitive, I
would say just maybe take it like a little bit
to start and then yeah.
Speaker 4 (45:09):
Yeah, I would say so too, or just yeah, ask a.
Speaker 3 (45:13):
There's so many.
Speaker 4 (45:14):
IVY businesses popping up everywhere. They they would know the best.
But that's how I did it, amazing.
Speaker 3 (45:23):
Well, people can find you where. Oh so my.
Speaker 4 (45:29):

down here. That's where you can ask any questions if
it's about body sculpting or anything like that. Happy to
