Author: Jane & Laurie April 4, 2024 Duration: 28:18
Media star spreads hope - Jane’s special guest today is global beauty and Internet lifestyle influencer Michelle Lee. Michelle reaches more than 40,000 followers each day with her content and comments about skincare, fashion, and beauty, as she chronicles her adventures to her loyal, world-wide audience. In fact, she comes on the show hot off the plane following a dash to Bora Bora where she swam with sharks!  But this glittering, globe-trotting life is the glamorous side of a serious condition. When Michelle is not sharing fashion tips, she’s busy advocating for those with skin issues, namely plaque psoriasis, from which she also suffers. Indeed, she gives hope for the 8 million people in the US impacted by this autoimmune disease and for the millions more around the world who experience visible side effects that impact their overall well-being. Along with hearing Michelle's story of her personal struggle, and particularly her ability to overcome them, on this segment, she and Jane also talk about her almost being a reality TV star, what it's like to have an identical twin, and even how she found true love!  Her tips and tools for diet, exercise and combating stress complement her advice for treatment options for psoriasis. To that end, she has partnered with biopharmaceutical giant, Dermavant Sciences, to spread the word. All in all, Michelle's message is the best way for all of us to become Better Than Before, physically, mentally and spiritually. 

For anyone who's ever faced a turning point-a health diagnosis, a personal loss, or simply the feeling that something needs to change-Jane Wilkens Michael Better Than Before offers a grounded and compassionate voice. Drawing from her long career writing nationally syndicated columns on beauty, health, and fitness, Jane translates her wisdom into conversation, moving from the page to the airwaves. This isn't about drastic overhauls or unattainable ideals. Instead, each episode feels like a thoughtful discussion focused on practical, manageable steps. You'll hear Jane guide her audience through concepts of self-care that are both gentle and effective, focusing on how to truly relax a busy mind, replenish depleted energy, and rejuvenate a weary spirit. The core philosophy, building a life that is Better Than Before, is woven into every topic, whether it's navigating fitness after an injury, finding quiet moments in a noisy world, or redefining personal wellness on your own terms. The podcast serves as an audio companion for that very personal journey, emphasizing that progress is built from simple, consistent actions. Tune in for a blend of personal insight, actionable advice, and the steady encouragement that has already resonated with millions of readers, now offered in a more intimate, spoken format.
