What does trauma healing really look like for women in their 30s and 40s?

In this intimate and honest episode of EmotionAL Support, Alessandra Torresani sits down with her longtime friend, therapist and former actress Nikki Isbell for a deeply personal conversation about healing, self-care, confidence, and reinventing your life after trauma.

This isn’t a clinical interview — it’s the kind of vulnerable, kitchen-table conversation you have with a friend who’s seen you through every version of yourself.

Together, they talk about:

• Trauma healing for women and how it lives in the body

• The power of friendship as a safe space for growth and support

• Self-care practices that actually help (gratitude journaling, movement, small daily shifts)

• Building confidence in your 30s when you’re doubting yourself

• Leaving the acting industry and navigating career reinvention

• Asking for help and why you don’t have to do it alone

• Creating community as a millennial woman and mom

• Starting over without losing yourself

Nikki shares her journey from navigating her own trauma to becoming a therapist who now helps other women heal — and how small, consistent steps toward self-care can lead to profound transformation.

If you’re healing from trauma, questioning your next chapter, rebuilding after loss, divorce, career shifts, or motherhood transitions — this episode will remind you that reinvention is possible, support is essential, and confidence is something you build one brave choice at a time.

You don’t have to do this alone.

Fatherhood has a way of revealing everything you’ve been running from.

In this powerful and deeply grounded conversation, actor-turned-entrepreneur Cameron Moulène shares what it meant to become a father while facing addiction, uncertainty, and the responsibility of raising a neurodivergent child , a moment that quietly redirected his entire life.

We talk about choosing sobriety when the story stops being about you, unexpected beauty of parenting a child on the spectrum, and why breaking generational cycles doesn’t happen through perfection .. it happens through presence.

Cameron opens up about pausing acting, confronting male loneliness and mental health, and building Augi Health, a mission-driven company using AI and data to help families better navigate a healthcare system that often fails them. What began as personal survival became a larger commitment to community, access, and accountability.

This episode is for fathers trying to show up differently, parents navigating a diagnosis they never expected, and anyone choosing recovery not just for themselves , but for the life watching them.

A conversation about legacy, sobriety, innovation, and becoming safe.

In this episode of EmotionAL Support, host Alessandra Torresani sits down with a celebrity plastic surgeon for a radically honest, stigma-free conversation about beauty, aging, wellness, and mental health — especially for women navigating their 30s and 40s.

From Ozempic face, GLP-1 weight loss drugs, and facial volume loss to filler fear, Botox safety, and collagen-stimulating treatments, this episode breaks down what’s actually behind today’s most talked-about beauty trends — and what women should (and shouldn’t) be doing.

Together, they explore:

• What Ozempic and weight loss drugs really do to the face, skin, and inflammation

• Why so many women are afraid of fillers — and safer, more natural alternatives

• The most requested beauty procedures heading into 2026

• When plastic surgery helps — and when it can quietly backfire

• The connection between mental health, confidence, and appearance

• Budget-conscious beauty choices that actually make a difference

• Motherhood, aging, and how women’s self-image impacts the next generation

This episode is for humans who care about looking good, feeling grounded, and aging with agency - without extremes, shame, or pressure to erase themselves.

Because beauty isn’t about perfection.

It’s about recognizing yourself again.
