In this radiant episode of SHE DECIDES, host Staci Swiderski welcomes Nancy Reagan, no, not the First Lady, but a trailblazing aesthetician, spa founder, and skincare innovator whose journey is redefining what it means to glow at every stage of life. With more than 30 years as a diagnostic aesthetician, Nancy has built three successful spas, created the world’s first NAD+ barrier repair skincare line through her brand Skin Diva Labs, and continues to lead as the founder of Bella Reina Spa, named Best Day Spa in North America.
Nancy opens up about overcoming personal health challenges, including cancer and EBV, and how those struggles fueled her passion for wellness and innovation. At age 64, when many are winding down, she chose to rise up, proving that reinvention has no expiration date. Featured in The New York Times as a “Skincare Coach,” Nancy embodies the power of resilience, purpose, and vision.
Her story is one of glowing against the odds, building legacies, and empowering women everywhere to keep going no matter what. This conversation is more than skin-deep — it’s about strength, reinvention, and the beauty of living fully on your own terms.
