This week on Waking Up The Witch, Amber and Taylar sit down with the luminous Hope Allen, a holistic aesthetician whose healing journey is as powerful as the work she now offers the world.

Hope opens up about her complicated childhood, the ache of family estrangement, and the resilience it took to rebuild her life from the inside out. Through her story, we explore how grief can carve new pathways, how vulnerability becomes its own medicine, and how tending to the body can become a sacred doorway into deeper healing.

Together, we unpack the beauty of embracing change, honoring the aging process, and creating safe spaces—both on the skin and in the soul—where people can feel truly seen and supported.

If you love stories of transformation, lived wisdom, and the softer side of healing work, this conversation will land right in your heart.
