<p>The Learning Estheticians Podcast enters a new era as we sit down with our new co-host, Jess, for a real, unfiltered get-to-know-you conversation. This episode feels less like an interview and more like two estheticians kicking it, swapping stories, and laying the foundation for what’s to come.</p><p></p><p>We talk through Jess’s journey in the beauty industry, career shifts, lessons learned, and the challenges that shaped her as a professional. This episode sets the tone for honest conversations, shared wisdom, and collaboration over competition and more to come.</p><p></p><p>Consider this the beginning of a new chapter, where learning, laughter, purpose, and real esthetician talk all meet.</p><p></p><p>Be sure to stay connected with us outside the podcast.
