In this heartfelt conversation, I sit down with Lyndsay Hoffman, NP - Nurse Injector and Owner of LTH Beauty in Mount Prospect, IL - to talk about what it really means to redefine beauty from the inside out.

Lyndsay shares her courageous leap from full-time nurse practitioner in a major healthcare system to becoming a solopreneur in the world of medical aesthetics.

Together, we explore the messy, meaningful reality of building a business while raising young kids, navigating self-doubt, and reshaping how women relate to aging, confidence, and self-care.

This episode isn’t just about beauty - it’s about authenticity, integrity, and the deep desire to help women feel at home in their skin.

Whether you’re a fellow entrepreneur, a working mom, or someone reimagining your relationship with beauty, Lyndsay’s story will remind you that true confidence isn’t about changing who you are - it’s about coming home to yourself.

You can find LTHBeauty online at lthbeaty.com, on instagram and facebook at @LTHBeauty_aesthetics. And if you happen to be listening to this episode prior to Thursday, October 23rd, you’re invited to join Lyndsay in celebrating her one year anniversary with an event happening from 4:30-7:30 at her location in Mount Prospect!

LTH Beauty is located inside Splendid Day Spa at 137 W Prospect Ave in Mount Prospect, IL.

This week, I sit down with Jenn Borrell, founder of And Sew On, a stitch studio bringing sewing, embroidery, knitting, crochet, and all things fiber arts to Arlington Heights and beyond.

Jen shares how a childhood of cross-stitch with her mom, a 17-year career in metadata and taxonomy, and one loud nudge from intuition led her from corporate burnout to teaching hands-on creativity in community spaces. We talk honest entrepreneurship - the real rollercoaster, the “burn-it-down” days (hello, pajama-pants-elastic saga), and the power of asking for feedback instead of spiraling. You’ll hear how craft becomes grounding in a phone-addled world, why imperfect stitches can build real confidence (especially for kids), and how starting with beginners can seed a thoughtful path to growth.

If you’ve been craving a slower, more tactile life - or a reminder that mistakes are simply data - this one feels like exhale.

• Imperfect > impossible: How letting go of perfection turns “I can’t” into “I made this!”—for kids and adults alike.
• Ride the waves, gather data: A practical reframe for the entrepreneurial lows—survey, learn, iterate—so the next class (or launch) runs smoother.
• Start close to home: Why beginning with accessible spaces, beginner curricula, and community partners (like a park district) builds sustainable momentum.
