We were lucky to sit with Michael and chat about his early experiences in the beauty industry and how he navigated his way to be where he is today.

Today we are incredibly excited to have Polly Harding, better known as ‘PJ’, on the show! Known for her genuine, relatable and hilarious work on Australian and New Zealand radio, she is now living in New Zealand with her fiancé and beautiful baby boy, Charlie, who is only a few weeks old. We are very lucky to have Polly on the show so soon, as a new baby is not easy work by any means, but we cannot wait to share her story and have a few laughs with you all. 

We don’t want to give too much away, but here is a little sneak peak about Polly…

With a career spanning over ten years in radio, Polly began working as a host on evenings and daytime radio in New Zealand, before meeting host Jase Hawkins. Together they co-hosted ZM’s National Drive and in 2018 they made the big move to Melbourne to host breakfast on KIIS. It wasn’t until April 2020, Polly decided to leave the show and make the move back home. Why? Well, if you haven’t heard, we will talk all about it in today’s episode. 

But, don’t be fooled, Polly is still hard at work on her own show called the PJ Podcast, which comes out weekly featuring guests from all walks of life. We don’t want to give it all away, so we will hear about this and lots more very soon…

Welcome to a special episode on the Business of Skin. Brittany Vescio, the General Manager of derma aesthetics will be your host for this episode. We are discussing a topic very close to Brittany’s heart, Endometriosis, which she was diagnosed with 8 years ago. 

Brittany chats with, Emilia Victoria, who has made an incredible impact as an Endometriosis advocate raising awareness on a disease that is not only excruciatingly debilitating, but little still remains known about this condition. After an 11 year journey, Emilia was diagnosed with Endometriosis in 2018. Shortly after she launched her Instagram platform @livingwithendometriosis__ with the purpose of raising awareness for the condition. Emilia is working to spread awareness & support those living with Endometriosis or struggling to get a diagnosis, women who are on a journey to conceive or are navigating motherhood with a chronic illness, plus those dealing with medical trauma and much more. 

Today on the show Emilia will share her journey to diagnosis, her advocacy work, motherhood, trying to conceive and her skin journey throughout it all. We will also chat about the future of Endometriosis and what others should know.
