Hey there, welcome to Beyond the Skin! I’m Nichole Kippen, your esthetician & host, here to uncover what real beauty is all about – it’s deeper than just appearances.
My journey has been a rollercoaster – from childhood wounds to chasing answers in every course and book out there. But you know what? The real healing? It was inside me all along.
Becoming a mom flipped the script. I learned that true beauty starts with embracing every part of yourself – even the messy, imperfect bits. It’s about reclaiming your power and finding that inner glow. Join me for honest heart to heart conversations

Not everything you want is Actually what you want: What if it’s just the feeling you’re after?
This episode was sparked by a few comments I’ve gotten lately—people telling me how “lucky” I am to be a stay-at-home mom. And while I am grateful, the truth is: every version of life comes with its own challenges. Being home with your kids, working full-time, doing it solo—there’s no perfect path. It all requires choices, presence, and honesty.
We often romanticize parts of other people’s lives without seeing the full picture. But what if instead of comparing or judging, we saw what we admire in others as a mirror—showing us what’s possible for us, in our own way? This episode is about getting clear on what you truly want, recognizing that desire is often about a feeling, not a specific reality—and knowing that you can create your own version of what you crave. I also share how I’ve been using ChatGPT as a tool to explore my subconscious desires, reframe my thinking, and dream in a more expansive way.

When the body speaks: How I healed from Hashimoto’s & Melasma.
In this episode, I share my personal healing journey with Hashimoto’s and melasma—but this conversation is for anyone navigating skin concerns, autoimmune issues, or any chronic symptom that’s left you feeling disconnected from your body.
I talk about the moment I stopped doing all the things—the supplements, the restrictions, the protocols—and started deeply listening to what my body had been trying to tell me all along. This episode is about the power of intuitive healing, how symptoms are often sacred messengers, and why real transformation doesn’t have to be hard… it can actually be soft, simple, and incredibly freeing.
Whether you’re dealing with something specific or just feeling out of sync with yourself, I hope this lands like a deep exhale and a gentle nudge back home.

Beyond Business: Closing Bloom & Redefining My Self-Worth
After six years of building and running Bloom, my esthetics business, I’ve made the decision to close this chapter and step into something entirely new—being a stay-at-home mom. But this transition isn’t just about work; it’s about identity, self-worth, and learning to exist beyond the labels I’ve attached to myself. In this episode, I’m sharing what it’s like to let go, to trust the unknown, and to redefine success on my own terms. If you’ve ever struggled with big life shifts, questioning who you are outside of what you do, this one’s for you.

Costa Rica: I didn’t drink the tea, but I did get what I needed.
I originally thought my first trip to Costa Rica would involve a retreat and Ayahuasca. I was ready for a big, mind-blowing spiritual awakening. Little did I know, I could have a deeply spiritual, transformative experience without consuming anything at all. In this episode, I share how three weeks off the grid—with my husband, my daughter, and no social media—brought me back home to myself. No grand epiphanies, no rituals, just the clarity that comes from stillness, simplicity, and presence. I also dive into Mel Robbins’ Let Them Theory, the unexpected sexiness of being a little mysterious, and why I’m embracing a year of flow, freedom, and caring a whole lot less about what people think.

Trend prediction- Making individuality cool again.
Trend prediction- making weird and individuality cool again. If you’re always trying to be like everyone else, you’re not only missing out on your own magic—the world is missing it too. This episode is a call to courage, to trust that the you beneath the masks, the trends, and the expectations is exactly who you’re meant to be. We’re diving deep into the fear of judgment, the allure of fitting in, and why it’s far more boring to blend than to be boldly you. This is your invitation to let go of the act, embrace your weird, and show up in all your messy, beautiful authenticity. Because it’s not just about being different—it’s about being true, and that’s where your real power lies.

A Memoir In The Making: How perspective changes everything.
October 23rd marks 30 years since my mom left this earth, I’m marking the moment with a tattoo in her honor—and a fresh take on life. In this episode, we’re getting real about how the mind loves a good problem (spoiler: it thinks it’s keeping you safe) and how shifting your perspective can change everything. Life isn’t happening to us—it’s happening for us, if we choose to see it that way. From grief to gratitude, gripping to surrender, and ink to insight, this is about choosing to look at life and time and this bendy little moment we get to make the most of and start living in a way that feels really good.

Grandma confidence: Life is a giant mirror, loving what’s reflected.
In this episode, we dive deep into redefining what aging means for women, focusing not on how we’re perceived, but on how we feel in our lives. We talk about the confidence and freedom that often comes with age, and explore why we should embrace that self-love now instead of waiting. I also reflect on the importance of shedding relationships that no longer serve us and practicing gratitude for the lessons they brought. Plus, we’ll discuss how speaking negatively about others is often a mirror of our own insecurities, and how shifting that focus inward can lead to real growth. Let’s start living life to its fullest, prioritizing how we feel over how life looks from the outside.

In my liminal goo phase: Unbecoming
Welcome to “The Goo Phase,” a space for those of us in that fluid, in-between place—no longer who we were, but not quite who we’re becoming. Here, we explore what it means to be in that shapeless phase of life where nothing is fully defined, and everything feels possible. I’ll be sharing my journey of letting go of old identities, beliefs, and ways of being to make room for what wants to emerge. It’s about leaning into uncertainty, feeling deeply, and trusting the unfolding process. If you’re in your own ‘goo phase’—embracing the unknown and all its possibilities—this is your space to breathe, reflect, and transform. Together, we’ll navigate this beautiful, formless journey of becoming.

Welcome to Beyond The Skin!
Welcome to Beyond The Skin!
I’m Nichole Kippen, your esthetician and host, here to uncover and redefine beauty.
My life experience has brought me to sit behind this mic. I’m no stranger to trauma, loss, abandonment, and evolving.
Which led me to seek answers and healing in every book, coach, course, plant medicine, and so much more.

We’ll dive into esthetics, skin care, and holistic beauty rituals, but with a twist of real-life stories mostly my real life stories.
In hopes to inspire you to honor your inner truth, evolve authentically, and discover your path to genuine beauty.
