Botox, Fillers & Hijacking Facial Expression With Dr Cameron Chestnut
In episode 96 of The Road to Wisdom Podcast Chloe and Keshia sit down with Dr. Cameron Chesnut to explore the nuanced world of cosmetic procedures, aging, and beauty culture. Together, they unpack the increasing use of Botox and fillers, particularly in Australia, which holds the highest per capita use globally.  Dr. Cameron Chesnut is the facial plastic surgeon for the world’s high-performers. He is truly on another level. People from all corners of the globe seek his next-level results—achieving astonishing outcomes through minimally invasive procedures that leave patients looking natural, rejuvenated, and seemingly untouched. He’s renowned for his progressive use of regenerative medicine and cutting-edge postoperative recovery techniques, as well as his meticulous personal preparation for performance readiness. Dr. Chesnut explains how these procedures work on a physiological level—Botox, by paralyzing facial muscles to reduce wrinkles, and fillers by restoring volume. However, he cautions that fillers don’t simply “dissolve” as many believe. They can migrate over time, sometimes altering a person’s appearance in unexpected ways. These shifts can create a disconnect between how someone looks and how they feel inside, especially as aging brings about deeper psychological reflections and, often, fear.  The conversation highlights how beauty standards are constantly shaped by cultural and societal norms. We often associate youth with beauty and vitality, which fuels the desire to maintain a youthful appearance. But this comes at a cost. Dr. Chesnut discusses how immobilizing facial muscles can hinder nonverbal communication, affecting everything from emotional connection to child development. Our faces play a critical role in expressing emotion—and when expression is lost, so too is a piece of our humanity. Rather than relying solely on injectables, Dr. Chesnut advocates for a more regenerative, holistic approach to aging. He shares insights into therapies like red light treatment and the use of vitamin A derivatives, which support the skin's natural collagen and elastin production. Nutrition, lifestyle, and a deeper understanding of the emotional and psychological aspects of aging also play a vital role in preserving both health and appearance. Ultimately, this conversation challenges us to think critically about the beauty industry’s influence, the identity shifts that come with cosmetic intervention, and the deeper reasons behind why we seek to change the way we look. Dr. Chesnut encourages a more conscious and informed path forward—one that honors both our biology and our emotional well-being.

Maternity Nurse on Reclaiming Her Power: Work & Birth With Yaz Salera
In episode 95 of The Road to Wisdom Podcast we chat to Yaz Salera—a perinatal nurse turned new mother, blogger, and host of The Birth Unboxed Podcast. With years of experience inside the hospital system, Yaz opens up about the internal conflicts she faced while working in a maternity ward and how witnessing the rigid, protocol-driven care shaped her own birth intentions. We talk about the quiet heartbreak of knowing better but being unable to do more within a system that prioritizes ticking boxes over truly supporting women. Yaz shares how her professional experiences propelled her to seek alternative paths for her own birth and postpartum journey—ones rooted in autonomy, intuition, and trust in her body. She opens up vulnerably about her personal birth experience, the judgment she faced for making empowered choices, and what it's like to stand in your truth when the system pushes back. This conversation is a powerful reminder of the importance of informed choices, the courage it takes to go against the grain, and the healing that happens when we share our stories. In this episode, we explore: Yaz’s experience as a maternity nurse and the emotional toll of working within hospital policy What she witnessed that made her determined to birth differently The nuanced grief of knowing better but not being able to do better within the system Her personal birth and postpartum story, including the resistance she faced The value of slow living, intentional motherhood, and reclaiming birth as sacred Whether you’re a mama, a birth worker, or someone simply curious about what really happens behind the scenes in maternity care—this episode will move you, challenge you, and inspire you.

If You Don’t Laugh You’ll Cry: Why Comedy For Contentious Topics Is A Must With Lisa Spencer
In episode 94 of The Road to Wisdom Podcast Chloe and Keshia chat with comedy gal Lisa Spencer. We have a lively and thought-provoking conversation about the power of comedy to tackle controversial and complex issues. We explore how humor helps us cope with difficult topics, challenge societal norms, and spark meaningful conversations. This discussion dives into the process of creating parodies and how research plays a key role in making comedy both clever and relatable. This conversation also turns to the rise of platforms like OnlyFans, looking at the reality behind its business model. We break down the financial pressures creators face, the escalating nature of explicit content, and the long-term impact of sharing personal material online. Reflecting on how social media shapes choices, the importance of accountability, and how society responds to offense and criticism. Another highlight of the episode is the recent wombat controversy, which opens up a broader discussion about animal rights, cultural awareness, and the way comedy can be used to approach serious topics. Lisa shares her personal journey into stand-up comedy, and the hosts talk about how performing and even failing on stage offers a space for growth and exploration. Through it all, our conversation weaves together themes of humor, media influence, public outrage, and the divide between urban and rural perspectives. At its core, this episode is about the importance of laughter, the courage to speak honestly, and the power of comedy to open up hard conversations in a world full of noise.   Please do yourself a favour and follow Lisa for comedy gold @lisajanespencer    Loved what you heard in this episode?

The Road to Wisdom Podcast
Breaking the Silence: The Realities of Abortion with Dr Stu Fischbein
In episode 93 of The Road to Wisdom Podcast Chloe and Keshia speak with Stuart James Fischbein, MD. Board Certified in 1989 by the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology and became a Fellow of the American College of Obstetrics & Gynecology. In this episode, we open up a raw and deeply layered conversation about abortion—one that goes beyond headlines and politics, and into the personal, emotional, and medical realities that so many women face. We explore what actually happens during abortion procedures, the resilience of the female body (especially the uterus), and how hormonal shifts post-abortion can affect women both physically and emotionally. This is a space where we unpack the many myths and misunderstandings that surround abortion, from questions about fertility and medical necessity to the often-overlooked emotional aftermath. We talk about the importance of truly informed consent, the variability in procedure quality depending on the provider, and why so many women walk away from these experiences feeling blindsided. The conversation also touches on contraception—what works, what doesn’t, and why education around it still has such a long way to go. We dive into the ethical grey zones, especially in life-threatening scenarios, and even explore the unique dilemmas that come up in cases involving surrogacy. There’s no denying that abortion is a deeply personal and often polarizing topic. But here, we try to approach it with honesty and compassion, creating space for complexity rather than soundbites. We also consider the role of healthcare providers, the pressures they face under certain laws, and the broader societal responsibilities when it comes to preventing unwanted pregnancies. Whether you’re looking to better understand reproductive health or just want to hear a thoughtful, nuanced take on a topic that touches so many lives, this conversation is an open-hearted place to begin.
