Ready for the most honest conversation about Botox, filler, lasers, and plastic surgery? Pull up a chair because we're spilling everything. In this episode of Your Wellness Besties, Lisette and Nicole get completely transparent about every aesthetic treatment they've ever had done. No gatekeeping, no secrets, just two women in their 50s sharing exactly what they've tried, what worked, what didn't, and what they'd do differently. Nicole shares the details from her 50th birthday party celebration and the surprise performance by freestyle legend Judy Torres, then both hosts dive deep into their personal experiences with Botox, filler, laser treatments, and plastic surgery. This conversation covers it all. Lisette opens up about getting breast implants at 40 and why she's now considering removing her implants after years of rippling. Nicole shares her journey with Botox starting at 35, her experience with Sculptra that went wrong due to her Hashimoto's, and the surgical removal of granulomas that cost her thousands to repair. They break down the difference between various laser treatments like Secret Pro, BBL Halo, and Moxie, why skin tightening treatments didn't work for either of them, and the importance of monthly facials with derma planing and hydra facials. Then they get real about plastic surgery. You'll also hear their thoughts on the stigma around plastic surgery and why so many women lie about what they've had done. They talk about the importance of doing your research before any procedure, not being an impulsive buyer when it comes to your face and body, and why you should never cheap out on treatments. Plus, their honest take on aging gracefully versus getting work done and why women need to stop judging each other's choices. If you've been curious about Botox, confused about which laser treatments actually work, or wondering if plastic surgery is worth it, this episode gives you the full breakdown with zero filter.

You don’t have to have a drinking problem to realize drinking is a problem for the life you want. In this episode of Your Wellness Besties, Lisette and Nicole get honest about why they stopped drinking in their 50s, what they miss, and what made them decide they didn’t want to go back. For Lisette, it started with a moment at the shore: drinking at 2 p.m. instead of enjoying the beach with her kids. What began as a 30-day break became a lasting decision. She shares her experience with gray area drinking, the awkwardness of going out sober, and how completing 75 Hard strengthened her commitment. Nicole opens up about how having a sober fiancé supported her decision and why alcohol no longer fit her training, nutrition, and health goals. She shares the changes she noticed in her anxiety, mood, and mental clarity, and why keeping that promise to herself matters. Together, they talk about missing the relaxed feeling of a drink, navigating friendships that changed, and why moderation doesn’t work for everyone. They also share what they gained: mornings without hangovers, more energy for workouts, and greater confidence in their choices. If you’ve been thinking about taking a break or questioning whether alcohol still fits your life, this is an honest conversation about what that change can look like. No judgment. Just two women sharing their experiences. This week’s challenge: Start by paying attention. Notice when you want a drink, how much you’re drinking, and how you feel the next day. Track it and see what you learn. We’re not medical professionals. This episode reflects our personal experiences. If you drink heavily or may be dependent on alcohol, talk to a doctor before stopping. Find us on Instagram @yourwellnessbesties and DM us your questions.

Your 20s told you who to be. Your 30s told you who to take care of. Your 40s and 50s? They're telling you to cut your hair, cover your arms, and quietly fade out. We're not doing that.
