My heart is so full after my first big event co-hosting with The Collective 🤍
To the providers and women who showed up for me — thank you doesn’t even feel big enough.
Melissa Taylor, DNP from Beebe Dermatology — my “road dog.” The woman who sharpened my knowledge of the integumentary system and pushed me to think bigger. You lead like a BOSS and I’m forever grateful for the foundation you helped build in me.
Dana Ey, FNP-BC, owner of Dana Lynn Aesthetics — my new partner in crime and true friend. The energy was “girl, whatever you need, I GOT YOU — let’s make this the best event ever.” And we did just that.
Rachel Reynolds, owner of Refresh Aesthetics — the ultimate girls’ girl. We had just met, I was in the middle of a major staff transition and suddenly without an injector for the event… and you said, “I’m flying out the next morning but I GOT YOU.” That kind of support is rare, and I’ll never forget it.
Keelynn Evans — my day one. My ride-or-die since I first opened in Middletown when I had no roots there yet. You saw my vision and said, “Girl, I’m with you.” You showed up for a treatment yourself and then said, “I’m staying to help you make this event YOU.” That loyalty and belief in me means more than you know.
Ashlee and Brynn — I’ve known you forever, and to see you trust me and my baby business to be part of your vision for the Bout/Med Spa collab event meant everything.
And of course, Sade — thank you for putting the pieces together so beautifully and for raising money for Teen Girls Talk. Purpose behind the party makes it even more powerful.
And THE EVENT?! Let’s talk about it.
It was a HIT. A full-on, standing-room-only, name-checking, nonstop kind of hit. The support was INSANE. The injectors were so busy there wasn’t even time for a casual conversation — they were checking off names and going to town. At one point they both looked at each other like, “Thank God we have each other,” because the amount of people who showed up was beyond what we imagined.
