The Skin You're In: Reboot!

The Skin You're In: Reboot!

The Skin You're In is back! Jen O'Brien — CRNA, founder of Relevé Medical Aesthetics in Southern New Hampshire — returns with a fresh new format. She's bringing on Kate Sullivan as co-host, and together they're diving into all things aging, womanhood, and living confidently in the skin you're in. Real conversation, real laughs, and a whole lot of inspiration for women who refuse to sit on the sidelines.

PT and weight lifting coach, Leah Mycofsky

In this episode, I sit down with Leah, a physical therapist and personal trainer who specializes in helping women build strength and confidence through resistance training. We talk about why so many women over 40 shy away from lifting weights, how to get started safely, and why strength training is one of the most powerful tools for navigating midlife. Leah shares stories from her own clients, common myths she sees women struggle with, and the science-backed benefits of picking up weights at any age. If you’ve ever wondered whether resistance training is right for you—or if it’s too late to start—this conversation will inspire you to take that first step.

William Boylan, Acupuncturist

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, overstimulated, or just off in your body—but told yourself “everything looks normal” on paper—this episode is for you. Jen sits down with William Boylan, licensed acupuncturist and founder of the Acupuncture Clinic of Bedford, to talk about how acupuncture can support women through perimenopause, menopause, stress, pain, and the complexities of midlife. Together, they explore: * What acupuncture actually does—physiologically and emotionally * How the patient experience works, from first visit to long-term support * Why treating stress and nervous system dysregulation is foundational to hormone balance * What it looks like to support kids and teens with anxiety or digestive issues through acupuncture * The common fears and misconceptions that keep people from trying it (needles, anyone?) * Why William believes you don’t need to believe in acupuncture for it to work This episode is an honest, thoughtful conversation about whole-person care—and what’s possible when you finally feel heard, seen, and supported.

Jess Shursky, Pelvic Floor Physical Therapist

Kegels are not a cure-all! In this eye-opening episode, I sit down with a pelvic floor physical therapist to unpack some of the most common—and often misunderstood—pelvic health challenges women face during perimenopause and menopause. From pelvic pain and sexual dysfunction to urinary incontinence, these issues impact quality of life but are rarely talked about openly. One of the biggest myths we bust? That kegels are a cure-all. In fact, doing kegels without proper guidance can sometimes make symptoms worse, especially if the pelvic floor muscles are already tight or dysfunctional. Instead, we dive into why pelvic floor health is about balance, proper muscle awareness, and personalized care—not just exercises. Tune in to learn why pelvic floor therapy might be the missing piece of your wellness routine and how to start healing in a way that truly fits your body and life.
