What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
This industry is only about 25 years old. You know, it really just started popping up around 95, 2000. It's a sustainable industry because it's going nowhere. Nobody wants to age. We're starting to understand skin more. We're starting to understand the ingredient. People are starting as young as 16 years old. That is one of my missions is to educate young people in their teens because it does start then. Heidi Daly is a driven entrepreneur who reinvented her life at 40 to become a licensed esthetician. As the founder of Advanced Aesthetics Academy, she now leads a team of 17 women dedicated to empowering empaths through heart-centered wellness.
What started happening around you when those light switches started going on? How did reality respond?
Uh, well... It spans the globe like a super high school internet. Elvis! Randy! Today, Apple is going to reinvent the phone. It's not over until I win. The Living Your Legacy podcast. For those who live to leave a legacy.
That's extraordinary.
What inspired Heidi Daly to start Advanced Esthetics Academy?
The impossible. Oh, that is sensational. Open. Chicago with the lead. Usain Bolt is the fastest man on the planet. You can live your dream.
Welcome back to another episode of the Living Your Legacy podcast for Inside Success. This is Ray Gutierrez. Joining me today is Heidi Daly. Did I get that right? You got it right. Right on. Cool. On my first try. She's kind of like the Professor Xavier if you're into X-Men and Marvel, but of spa and of aesthetics. Is that right to say? I love that. Yes. Do you know who Professor Xavier is? No. You're much cooler than he is, and your hair is way cooler than his.
I'm just going with it.
Right on. Welcome to the show, my love.
Thank you. It's great to be here. Did you just finish filming your Woman in Power episode? I did, and I loved it.
How do you feel?
Kofi was fabulous.
How does skincare education impact young people's lives?
Oh, Kofi's awesome. Yeah. Kofi's got quite the magic. What will we learn about you in your episode? What will you learn? Yes, what will we learn?
What drives me, I think. What's that? What drives me.
What does drive you?
Empowering other people. And it's from the heart.
When did you discover the superpower? How old were you?
I've known it most of my life. I never had the opportunity. And it wasn't until I was older in life. I started the school at 55. And it wasn't until then that I realized this is my mission on this earth.
Right on. What started happening around you when those light switches started going on? How did reality respond?
Well, it's do or die. I had the opportunity to do something. I had the funding to do it. And I had to do it. I couldn't fail. I had to keep moving and make it a success.
So have you always been into aesthetics, mental health or self-health, self-care?
I've been into natural and holistic care my whole life. But it wasn't until I became an esthetician at 40. Right on. And then I started seeing where we could take it from there. And I found my passion. Cool.
How does one fall into ascetician-y? You get old. That's even a word. I got old.
Right on. I turned 40. Cool.
I was old, just tired. You're just like, I'm old for this shit. I guess you're right.
I started seeing the aging. Like I said, I was in the baby oil and iodine era of humans and baby boomers. And we didn't know anything about skin care. So I figured, uh-oh, we better get to figure out how to age gracefully. I hope I'm doing it well.
You're doing it very, very, very well. Folks are just now discovering that you can essentially compress time or expand time, especially with the human experience. Talk about how aging gracefully has changed and involved and what that means today.
Oh, that's big. Really, I say that this industry is only about 25 years old. You know, it really just started popping up around 95, 2000. And it's just it's a sustainable industry because it's going nowhere. Nobody wants to age. We're starting to understand skin more. We're starting to understand the ingredients, our modalities. We're creating new modalities. And, you know, people are starting as young as 16 years old.
Oh, for sure.
And that is one of my missions is to educate young people in their teens because it does start then.
