Host Amanda DiVito Parle sits down with longtime friend and entrepreneur Jeri Walsh, founder of Golden Laser Aesthetics, for an honest, thoughtful conversation about beauty, confidence, entrepreneurship, and what it really takes to build a people-first business in a rapidly growing industry. From struggling with severe eczema as a child to becoming a trusted leader in medical aesthetics, Jeri shares how personal experience, passion, and a willingness to take risks shaped her path from esthetician to business owner.
Together, Amanda and Jeri unpack the evolving world of aesthetics—from injectables and skincare to wellness, hormones, and longevity—while dismantling the stigma often associated with “getting work done.” They explore why confidence looks different for everyone, why natural results and ethical care matter more than trends, and how feeling good in your skin can have a powerful ripple effect in every area of life. The conversation also dives into leadership, ADD as a creative superpower, setting boundaries as a working mother, and knowing when growth supports your life—and when it doesn’t. With humor, candor, and grounded insight, this episode offers a refreshing, human take on beauty, business, and balance. ✨💆♀️
