In this powerful episode of The Cosmetic Queens, Stacey and Jena pull back the curtain on the heart behind their work and officially introduce the CQ Cares Foundation – their new initiative devoted to helping people reclaim confidence after trauma, illness, or life-altering events. Aesthetic medicine isn’t just about glam and “vanity” here; it’s about restoration, visibility, and giving people a piece of themselves back when insurance and traditional systems say no.

Stacey and Jena share the origin of CQ Cares and the beloved Sparkle Box – a fund and care package program created to support patients facing scars from cancer, accidents, congenital differences, domestic violence, animal bites, and more. You’ll hear from three incredible women whose lives have been touched by this work:

• Audra, a triple-positive breast cancer survivor who fought for her own diagnosis, navigated a broken medical system, and used aesthetic treatments to feel like herself again after chemo, hair loss, and radiation.
• Rebecca, a healthcare worker born with lip and chin asymmetry, who found quiet, natural confidence through gradual filler instead of major surgery.
• Candace, who received a Sparkle Box at one of the darkest moments of her life after the loss of her oldest son, and shares how a simple act of generosity reminded her she wasn’t alone.

Starting January 1, 2026, listeners will be able to nominate someone (or apply themselves) for CQ Cares support and even sponsor a patient directly. If you’ve ever wondered how aesthetics can be truly life-changing, this episode will stay with you long after you listen.
