Description

<p>Sandra Lena Silverman is a Miami-based beauty advocate, self-described beauty rebel, and the author of <em>From Bullshit to Botox: A Rebel&#39;s Guide to Self-Love and Eternal Youth</em>. She is also the host of <em>The Party&#39;s Over</em> and has been through over 25 plastic surgery procedures — and she talks about all of it openly, honestly, and without apology.</p><p>Her upcoming second book, <em>From Bullshit to Broken Hearts</em>, drops in September and goes deep into her marriage, narcissistic abuse, and reclaiming self-worth after divorce.</p><p>Sandra&#39;s approach is simple: do whatever you want to your face and body, but do the inner work first. After years of external procedures that didn&#39;t fix how she felt inside, she found that self-love, lymphatic health, nutrition, and strength training did more for her glow than any surgery ever could.</p><p>In this episode we get into plastic surgery, beauty industry myths, what actually works for aging well, and the self-worth journey that has to run alongside all of it.</p><p><br></p><p>In this episode, we cover:</p><ul><li><p>What a beauty rebel actually is — and why Sandra&#39;s definition is the opposite of what you&#39;d expect</p></li><li><p>Doing procedures for yourself vs. doing them out of fear, criticism, or conditioning</p></li><li><p>Her honest account of 25+ procedures — what worked, what went wrong, what she&#39;d do differently</p></li><li><p>The Y-lift disaster, over-filled faces, and how filler mistakes led to her facelift at 47</p></li><li><p>Why she got her facelift in her 40s — and why she believes that&#39;s the right time</p></li><li><p>Her brand new mini procedure done under local anesthetic — and why she&#39;ll never go under general anesthesia again</p></li><li><p>Why she&#39;s done with filler and PDO threads and what she recommends instead</p></li><li><p>Beauty industry trends she calls total gimmicks — Morpheus 8, Cool Sculpting, radio frequency tightening machines</p></li><li><p>The fundamentals that actually move the needle: protein, sleep, water, weight training, lymphatic work</p></li><li><p>Her daily lymphatic routine — dry brushing, the Glow device, Gua Sha, two hours a day at the gym</p></li><li><p>Why running sags your face and Pilates won&#39;t build the muscle you need</p></li><li><p>Counting calories, cutting alcohol, and taking peptides since 2017</p></li><li><p>The link between chronic stress, cortisol, and inflammation — and how her marriage was affecting her body without her realizing it</p></li><li><p>Four separations, tolerating narcissistic behavior, and finally choosing herself</p></li><li><p>What she does daily to stay mentally and emotionally free after divorce</p></li><li><p>Why young women are destroying their faces chasing filtered AI beauty standards</p></li><li><p>What&#39;s coming in <em>From Bullshit to Broken Hearts</em> this September</p></li></ul><p><br></p><p><strong>CONNECT WITH SANDRA</strong></p><p>Instagram: @sandralenasilverman</p><p>Website: <a href="http://www.sandralenasilverman.com"><u>http://www.sandralenasilverman.com</u></a><br>Youtube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@PartysOverShow"><u>https://www.youtube.com/@PartysOverShow</u></a></p><p><br></p><p>Please remember to rate, review, and follow the show – and share with a friend!</p><p><br></p><p>Subscribe to the newsletter:</p><p><a href="https://mailchi.mp/amyedwards/sign-up-to-amys-newsletter"><u>https://mailchi.mp/amyedwards/sign-up-to-amys-newsletter</u></a></p><p>Check out our new Comedy Wellness Podcast: Anything But Mid, cohosted with Whitney Stropp:</p><p><a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/anything-but-mid/id1849386215"><u>https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/anything-but-mid/id1849386215</u></a></p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/@AnythingButMid"><u>https://www.youtube.com/@AnythingButMid</u></a></p><p>Find Amy’s affiliates and discount codes:<a href="https://amyedwards.info/affiliatepage"> <u>https://amyedwards.info/affiliatepage</u></a></p><p>All links:<a href="https://amyedwards.info/"> <u>⁠⁠⁠amyedwards.info⁠⁠⁠</u></a></p><p>Instagram:<a href="https://www.instagram.com/realamyedwards/"> <u>⁠⁠⁠@realamyedwards⁠⁠⁠</u></a></p><p>Fight For Her:<a href="http://fightforher.net/"> <u>⁠⁠⁠fightforher.net⁠⁠⁠</u></a></p><p>TikTok:<a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@themagicbabe?lang=en"><u>⁠⁠⁠ @themagicbabe⁠⁠⁠</u></a></p><p>YouTube:<a href="https://www.youtube.com/c/theamyedwardsshow"> <u>⁠⁠⁠YouTube Channel⁠⁠⁠</u></a></p><p>Podcast:<a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-amy-edwards-show/id1543432633"> <u>⁠⁠⁠The Amy Edwards Show Podcast⁠⁠⁠</u></a></p><p>Free Course:<a href="https://best-you-life.teachable.com/p/the-ageless-mindset-the-ultimate-guide-to-look-younger-feel-happier"><u>⁠⁠⁠ The Ageless Mindset⁠⁠⁠</u></a></p><p>Full Course:<a href="https://best-you-life.teachable.com/p/the-youthfulness-hack"> <u>⁠⁠⁠The Youthfulness Hack⁠⁠⁠</u></a></p><p>Amy’s hair by<a href="https://www.thecollectiveatx.com/"> <u>⁠</u></a><a href="about:blank"><u>https://www.thecollectiveatx.com⁠</u></a></p><p>Podcast editing by <a href="https://podcastmagician.com/"><u>https://podcastmagician.com/</u></a></p><p><br></p><p>Get my FREE course &quot;The Ageless Mindset: The Ultimate Guide to Look Younger and Feel Happier!&quot;
