How to Skin Care with Sophie Marcopoulos, Season 10 Episode 16
Interview day!! In this Season 10 of We Go Boldly we are all about the how-tos. One of the things that Tovah and I both struggle with is skin care routines. It's overwhelming, confusing, and full of promises. We decided that a how-to on skin care is a necessary part of this season. What we didn't realize, is how much more this conversation would become. We do talk about skin care and routines, but more importantly we talk all about taking chances, believing in yourself, and doing what fills your purpose. To that end, we have an amazing guest for you all today. She is here to talk to us about her life journey and how it led her to where she is now.
Without further…let us introduce Sophie Marcopoulos of Sophie the Esthetician & MUA .
Sophie is a dedicated esthetician, makeup artist and salon owner specializing in wedding makeup and adult acne. With a passion for the intersection of skin care and artistry, she combines science-backed solutions with a keen eye for makeup theory to create highly personalized client experiences. She opened her business, Face Space Esthetics, with the intention to elevate the standard for beauty businesses in the realms of results, luxury, inclusivity, and the relationships between clients and professionals.

Toxic positivity is not the answer BUT negative outlooks and voices in our mind are also not the answer. Not all true statements are helpful. Not all thoughts are true. At the end of the day, we all can work toward having more positive self-talk. This week on our We Go Boldly season of how-to we are talking about stopping the cycle of negative self-talk.
We can stop hiding behind the idea that thoughts are truths, ideas are realities, and that mean person talking to you knows what they are talking about. Negative self-talk can worsen anxiety and depression, hurt your relationships with the people around you, and impact your self-esteem. Most people do not respond well to negative motivation in the long run.
What can we do instead? Tune in to today’s episode to learn more about how to change that negative outlook and monologue into something more productive. From talking back to your mean voice to creating power statements (mantras) to combat the negativity we have ideas to help you change the way you think.

What is your retirement plan?
Do you have a retirement plan in place? Are you overwhelmed even talking about the possibility? Drop a comment with your dream retirement plan in the comments and tune in to today's episode with the incredible Pavelko Senior Consulting!
This is the season of how-to. Today we are tackling a challenging conversation, how-to talk about retirement planning. Retirement and end of life planning can be fraught with emotional chaos. Talking about it with your parents or your kids can potentially make that even harder.
To that end, we have an amazing interview for you all today. She is here to talk to us about her life journey and how it led her to where she is now. She is going to help us all better understand how to plan your own retirement, end of life decisions, and also talk to your parents about these topics. .
Jessica Pavelko, lifelong Lancaster County resident, founded her business, Pavelko Senior Consulting Services in December 2006. After working years in the retirement community industry she found there was a gap in the education component of understanding all of the options that existed in the community that was best suited for an individual based on their social preferences, short and long term needs, finances, and so much more.
She started the business with the intent to educate aging adults and empower them to make informed decisions as they pursue retirement living options. During her years in business, she served as a Chamber Ambassador, served on the Board of Directors for Lancaster County Estate Planning Council and Love INC and wrote a regular column in Lancaster County Magazine and Lancaster County Women publications. In 2014, Jessica took a step back from the business to raise her children.
Although still an active and devoted wife and mother, Jessica reopened her business in 2021 and now serves on the Board of Trustees for Penn Medicine Lancaster General Health Foundation and serves in other capacities throughout Lancaster County. Jessic
Co-parenting is often challenging, overwhelming, exhausting. It can be extremely rewarding too. Today on We Go Boldly we are walking through the how-to of co-parenting. There are no easy answers to this how-to. There are, however, some great tips and information to help us better understand the process and how we can find our own peace in the process.
We discuss three different types of co-parenting; conflicted, cooperative, and parallel. We talk over the details of each type, why they occur and how to manage whatever co-parenting situation you are in now. Regardless of the type of co-parenting you are involved in, it will require managing the relationship with the other parent so that you can show up, be on the same team, and support your child the best way you are able.
We also go over some tips for success, such as using open communication, having a plan, and talking and listening to your children. There are a host of other good do’s and don’ts included in today's episode. Make sure to tune in where you listen to podcasts today. Don’t forget to rate, review and subscribe while you are there!

Sometimes it all workouts….other times, not so much. We have to make sure our fear of failing doesn’t keep us from trying. Thank goodness @danicannfit didn’t let the fear of failing keep her from starting the @thecompoundofficialnj or we would be in a much sadder coffee situation.
Let’s approach this week knowing we might fail, we might succeed, we probably do both!
