S02 E48 – Real Skin, Real Journeys Part 7: Leanne


In this Real Skin, Real Journeys series episode, we’re joined by the lovely Leanne, who shares her holistic clear skin journey of facing acne for over 13 years. After trying countless medications and treatments without lasting success, Leanne made a choice to prioritize her long-term health over quick fixes. We explore how she stayed committed to a holistic path, diving deep into what’s really happening inside the body to support healthy, clear skin.

Leanne’s story reminds us that while there are ups and downs in the journey to clear skin, each step forward is a win. Leanne’s advice is to trust the process, even if the results take longer than expected.

In this episode, we discuss:

  • The connection between gut and liver health and your skin.
  • How cortisol (your stress hormone) impacts breakouts.
  • Actionable stress management tips to support your skin.
  • The role of motivation and mindset in staying consistent.
  • Setting realistic expectations and the importance of perseverance on a holistic clear skin journey.
