In Your Skin

In this episode of In Your Skin, we’re joined by Dr Leona Yip, one of Australia’s leading dermatologists and a sub-specialist in alopecia and hair scalp disorders. If you’ve ever wondered why your hair is thinning, whether that expensive shampoo is actually doing anything, or if your dad is really to blame for your receding hairline, this episode is for you. Dr Leona cuts through the social media noise to bring us the hard science behind hair growth, scalp health, and the emotional impact of hair loss. Dr Leona explains the complex world of genetics and epigenetics - revealing that hair thinning can come from both parents and is influenced by everything from stress to pollution. We dive deep into the specific challenges women face, including postpartum hair loss (telogen effluvium), perimenopause, and why the temple area is often the first to show signs of age. Host Anna also shares a raw, personal account of navigating her daughter’s struggle with hair-pulling (trichotillomania) and the unconventional solution that finally worked. From debunking the "haircuts make it grow faster" myth to explaining why you should actually be blow-drying your hair instead of air-drying it, this chat is a masterclass in hair care. Whether you’re curious about medical treatments like Minoxidil, considering a hair transplant, or just want to know how to brush your hair without breaking it, Dr Leona provides a realistic, expert roadmap to feeling confident in your skin - and your hair.

In this episode of In Your Skin, Christie (the spiritual one) and Anna (the self-confessed sceptic) sit down with Amie, the intuitive behind Bathrobe Spiritual, for a deep dive into tarot, intuition and trusting the nudges you can’t quite explain. Amie shares how getting sober led her from Universal Music Group into full-time tarot, how she balances being “online” without losing herself, and why she sees tarot as a psychological and spiritual tool rather than fortune-telling. She also breaks down how intuition actually shows up (voices, visuals, chills), how to pick your first deck, and why the “bad” cards are often where the biggest healing begins. If you’ve ever been curious about tarot (or secretly obsessed with it), are calling in new love after a big relationship, or feel stuck in your career and craving a sign, this conversation will land. Amie does live readings for Christie's love life and Anna’s career, then closes with a powerful collective reading on love, money and self-worth for everyone listening. Expect goosebumps, gentle truth bombs, and a reminder that you’re allowed to want more for your life, and that you’re not behind. 0:00 – Cold open: live tarot moments for Christie’s love life + Anna’s career 1:05 – Meet Amie (Bathrobe Spiritual) and why Christie is spiritual while Anna is sceptical 2:20 – From Universal Music Group to tarot: how sobriety opened a new path 4:22 – “Bad” cards, wake-up calls and reshaping her life 6:06 – How sobriety sharpens intuition and clears your energy 11:04 – Are we all intuitive?

In this episode of In Your Skin, we sit down with performance coach and creator Lewis Huckstep to unpack conscious relationships, triggers, and why your values and vision matter more than ever. Lewis shares his neurodivergent backstory (ADHD and Asperger’s), childhood dysregulation, and how early trauma shaped his patterns in intimacy, before becoming the very toolkit he now uses to help others heal. We also open with a vulnerable share from Christie about consciously uncoupling and navigating a relationship that’s evolved into friendship and co-parenting. Lewis breaks down the five bodies of healing (mental, emotional, physical/somatic, spiritual, energetic), the difference between beliefs and perceptions, and how to spot your “core wound” so you stop repeating the same dynamics. From setting non-negotiables and doing quarterly relationship resets, to the line between triggers and boundaries, this chat is a practical roadmap for anyone feeling stuck, whether you’re staying, leaving, or dating again. If you’ve ever felt lost in love or purpose, this conversation will help you get clear on who you are, what you value, and how to build relationships that actually fit the life you’re creating.

In this episode of In Your Skin, we sit down with Dr Roger Seheult—pulmonologist, critical care and sleep physician, and co-founder of MedCram—to unpack the science-backed benefits of sunlight, infrared light, and circadian rhythm on our immunity, mood, skin, and long-term health. He shares an extraordinary hospital case of a teenage patient with a life-threatening fungal lung infection who turned a corner after daily time in the sun, and explains why light is more than “just vitamin D”. We explore how infrared light powers up your mitochondria, why getting outside (even in the shade, clothed, and sunscreened) still matters, and how simple habits like morning light exposure, strategic heat and cold, and the eight pillars of health (NEWSTART) can shift everything from sleep quality to metabolic health—and even longevity. If you’ve ever wondered how to balance Aussie sun safety with getting enough light for your brain, skin, and immune system, this one’s for you. This episode is proudly sponsored by: Olay.

In this episode of In Your Skin, we sit down with Zoe Marshall—media personality, author, podcast host, and manifestation mentor—to unpack the truth about co-creation, healing, and living with purpose. Zoe shares her raw story of surviving domestic violence, grief, and trauma, and how those experiences became the foundation of her work. She opens up about what manifestation really is (and isn’t), why self-worth is the number one block to attracting love, money, and opportunity, and the importance of doing the uncomfortable inner work. From healing old wounds to creating radical self-trust, Zoe explains how co-creation isn’t about wishful thinking but about aligned action, self-belief, and being open to the unknown. If you’ve ever rolled your eyes at “manifestation” or felt stuck in patterns of fear, scarcity, or unworthiness, Zoe’s story will inspire you to see possibility in a whole new way.

In this powerful episode of In Your Skin, we sit down with Dr Louise Newson, a GP and world-leading menopause specialist, to unpack the myths, misconceptions and life-altering truths about perimenopause and menopause. Dr Newson breaks down why menopause is not just a “transition” but a permanent hormonal state with serious health implications—and why women deserve more than being dismissed or handed antidepressants. She explains the role of oestrogen, progesterone, and testosterone, why hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is one of the safest treatments available, and why so many women still struggle to access it. From misdiagnoses to mood swings, broken careers to broken relationships, this is an eye-opening conversation that goes far beyond hot flushes. Whether you’re in your 30s, 40s or 50s—or supporting someone who is—this episode offers clarity, compassion, and a call to action.

In this empowering episode of In Your Skin, we sit down with Dr Amy Chahal, cosmetic doctor and founder of The Centre for Medical Aesthetics in Sydney, for a candid chat on skin health, ageing well, and why beauty should never be driven by unrealistic trends. From her surgical roots to running her own holistic cosmetic clinic, Dr Chahal shares why she’s passionate about doing things differently in an industry that often prioritises profit over patient care.

In this powerful and heart-opening episode of In Your Skin, we sit down with Sridhar Krishnamurti, mindset and strategy coach, to explore the deep connection between our thoughts, beliefs, and how we feel in our skin—at every age. Sridhar shares his remarkable journey from addiction and homelessness to transformation, revealing how the stories we tell ourselves can either limit or liberate us. He explains how early life experiences shape our self-worth, why people-pleasing disconnects us from our truth, and how social media reinforces damaging comparisons.
