As a pioneer in the medical aesthetics industry, she is redefining beauty through ethical care, natural results, and a patient first approach

Everybody just wants to have a nice, beautiful life and looking good and feeling good as part of that.

thief of joy, right? So if you just... The living your legacy podcast, for those who live, to leave a legacy. Welcome back to another episode of Women in Power,
our amazing podcast, part of the Insight Success Network. I am Raghu Cherish Your Host.
Joining me today is someone that's going to teach me how to love myself more.
“It is Nicole Hubby. How are you Nicole? Hi, I'm good. Thank you. How are you, Ray?”
Fantastic. Thanks for asking. Nicole, walk us through the montage of how amazing you are and what you do. So I'm Nicole Hubby. I am the first proudly the first one of the first PA-owned medical aesthetics practices in Miami. I opened my practice in 2019 and since then, the montage is I'm trying to make everybody feel their best so that they go out into the world and achieve their dreams and go out into the community and be good members of the community.
Nicole, we got to rewind a bit. I'm almost certain that they didn't always start in such a happy
place. Is there a reason why focusing to love themselves more? It's so empowering to have confidence to feel beautiful. And when you feel beautiful and you exude confidence, that's transformative. And that helps you to go out into the world. It becomes your fuel. That fuels your dreams. It allows you to be present in your life. It allows you to step into the world confidently. And if you as the individual thrive and if you as the individual achieve your dreams,
then the community also benefits your family benefits. You thrive in every part of your life.
“Absolutely. I completely agree with that. Do you remember a time when you weren't thinking this”
way? What was the day before when you weren't in this mindset? When I started thinking about becoming a woman in power, that actually started really young. That was kind of, ever since I was a kid. But when I was a kid in the days before this life, I was trying to just enjoy, enjoy my everyday playing with my friends, going to school being the best student. I could be being the best daughter. I could be, but also knowing that there were goals to achieve. And so I did feel a pressure.
There was always a pressure coming from parents of immigrants. If you're a child of an immigrant,
you know what I mean. And that there is always a pressure to succeed. So yeah, that pressure was always there. And I may not have always known what that success would look like eventually. But I just knew that I had to do something the great.
“You mentioned Miami. Why are your connections to Miami?”
So I ended up going to grad school in Fort Lauderdale. So not far from Miami at Nova South Eastern and Davy, Florida. And that was where I did my masters in physician assistant studies. And I just stayed. I loved it here so much. I mean, how could you not love Miami? Miami's amazing. What a beautiful place to be. Full of beautiful people. And I'm just happy to be here. I'm happy to create my life here.
My business here.
Who are your common clients? And what are the four and after transitions like this? Quite frankly, I'm very proud to say that my clients are the everyday person. They are moms, dads, teachers, brothers, sisters. Every day people who work out into the world who are our contributing members of the community. I have one client who's a concert pianist. I have another client who is a teacher. I have stay at home moms. I have models. I have
influencers. A lot of my clients are male. I would say about 30 percent of my clients are
our male, which is amazing. It's, it's really everybody. That's awesome. Yeah. What's the transformation like? What's the common thread you see amongst your clients? Is it like, I, I don't feel, I don't feel amazing enough to take on this new task or this meeting or
“this stand up to a boss. Like, what are some of the common threads you see with your clients?”
So, honestly, I think the common thread right now is not so much transformation. Believe it or not, I think people really just want to preserve. So, like preservation, I think is what I'm really good at. And my clients tend to kind of look the same for as long as possible. Sometimes it's not
always about changing how you look or augmenting how you look. Sometimes it's just about wanting to
look like yourself and recognizing yourself in the mirror and preserving that self for as long as possible. So, I think a lot of my before and afters or transformation stories quite frankly are just somebody looking the same for years. I was just going to say, is that if you think there's any reason why kids in the 80s look like they were in their 40s, like it was just a different kind of
“yeah, I saw that like little trend on Instagram. People were kind of talking about how”
high school kids looked older in the 80s. That's so interesting. Maybe it has to do with
I noticed that the kids these days, there's so much YouTube, there's so many tutorials like
there's no awkward stage. They just like know how to do their makeup already and they know how to do their hair already and they know how to make themselves look a little youthful. Like what, you know, they're on trend and sometimes being on trend makes you look young, you know, you look you look younger. So, maybe because when the 80s during the 80s, maybe it has to do with the fact that you didn't have all these little tutorials to learn from. So, you weren't, you were just
learning from your parents and maybe because your parents looked older, older, you looked older, I don't know. Well, but that's a good question. I wonder, what do you talk to today's youth that is so far advanced? Like how do you materialize? I wouldn't say innocence or naiveness, but there is that moment where it's like, I want to experiment and put on makeup on my face or try a look. Now it's just like, what's trending today? I have to look a certain way because
someone's telling me because my phone's telling me to do so. How do you educate individuality and authenticity? Oh, it's so hard. It's really hard to go against the grain in an industry that everybody's trying to cheapen it quite frankly and it is hard to stay true to like the basics of beauty to, you know, what's safe sometimes. And I am working against against trends that do quite frankly like cheap in my industry and there's a lot of skepticism in my industry
and there is filler fatigue, things like that. There's an over-exaggerated look going on. That's trendy at times and like yes, sometimes it is difficult to work against that and to stay with
“integrity in that and not looking at everybody as just a price tag. So that is quite difficult and I think”
the way I present my social media, the way I present myself, the way I handle my my clients and speak with my clients, I think the client that tends to find me is the client that values looking natural, having procedures done in a safe environment and not necessarily looking different as I mentioned before but just preservation. I think those are the clients that tend to find me. So it's important to have the client look undetectable to remain looking elegant, to remain looking
beautiful without exaggerating a feature because that's not art. Like what you're doing in aesthetics, you're also doing art and you have to artfully sculpt a face so that somebody doesn't
Look done and with all the trends and Instagram face, it is difficult to main...
in that. It's a form of enhancement really. Like I look at my face and like there's a couple of things I'd like to enhance but then I come from theater. I'm a stage can understand that the the exterior is part of the hustle. Do you speak to a lot of folks that kind of understand that, especially now that influencers are such a thing, it's all the exterior. Do you enhance more the exterior or the interior when clients come to you? When my clients come to me, they sit with me
sometimes for an hour. They cry in my chair. Sometimes it is a therapy session. So while I am
working on somebody's exterior, these visits are still so powerful that sometimes you are helping
somebody from within. Somebody build the confidence from within and the exterior is a reflection sometimes of how you feel on the interior. So oftentimes my time with my client deals with both the interior, what's going on in somebody's psyche and their mental health and how they feel about themselves and how they see the world. And then that is reflected in how they want to go out into the world, how they see themselves in their minds I and how they want people to perceive
them out into that world. So the two are intertwined, the interior and the exterior. It's one, it's a young and young. What have you heard? What have you learned about the human experience after
“so many clients, so many stories, so many transformations or preservation? I think people just want”
to be happy and live fulfilling lives at the end of the day. And one part of helping somebody fulfill their dreams is to give them the tools where they can go out and get and work towards their dreams. And if feeling beautiful helps you achieve those dreams, then that is the common thread. Everybody just wants to have a nice, beautiful life and looking good and feeling good as part of that. Let's talk about being a woman in power. We just filmed your episode, talk about what we'll
learn from your episode. I think you'll learn that any time you face an obstacle or a setback that as long as you have a clear vision and also it's very important to have a support system. I did have a great support system throughout my life, very encouraging parents, very encouraging siblings. If you can go out into the world and see every obstacle and attack all it head on, little by little step by step, you will slowly achieve your goals. And then before you know it,
you will be where you've envisioned. It's just about putting one foot in front of the other, every day, showing up as your best self, every day as often as you can, and keeping a clear head
“on the goals and whatever you need to do to get there, just do it.”
Let's do it. I got to ask that and join in asking this question. When it comes to being a woman
in power, how much of it is being a woman versus being powerful or vice versa?
I think in my industry, it is an advantage that I am a woman quite frankly. I think women want to go to, I think a lot of women want to go to other women for things like aesthetics. I think there's like a camaraderie, there's a shared experience, you know, maybe they feel just more comfortable being in the hands of a woman. So becoming a physician assistant, it's also a more female-dominated field of medicine. So I do think being a woman, there wasn't an advantage
for me, but as a pre-med student in undergrad, that's where it necessarily wasn't an advantage or going to grad school. So as I continue to succeed, little by little, by little, I do think it did shift. The pendulum slightly shifted towards having a disadvantage of being a woman growing up, you know, a little girl in the '90s and '80s, that might have been a disadvantage at the time, but now I feel at this point in my life, it's actually become an advantage.
Let's talk about a little bit of your episode. What will people learn or give us a preview of that
“episode and talk about the filming process? So I think, while the filming process was really”
wonderful, thanks to your production. So it was nerve-wracking, because you're always, you're always,
you know, hoping that your words kind of translate into like your sentiment and what you actually
Want to put out into the world and what you want to say.
you guys maybe feel so comfortable, so reassured. It was a really lovely experience and
part of my journey now and my story now. I hope that they learn that you can achieve, you can go out into the world confidently, that you don't have to be somebody you're not, that you can come from immigrant parents and work really hard and still be successful in any time you have any adversity, you can still make it if you just keep trying. For anyone that's having a difficult time finding their inner power and their inner beauty, what's some advice you can give them besides,
“come find me. Sure. I think the first thing would be try not to compare. They say that”
comparison is the thief of joy, right? So if you just try to block what other people are doing out, how other people are looking out of your mind and focus on yourself, focus on what you love about yourself, focus on where you want to go in life and really hone in on your personal goals, not what somebody else is trying to tell you to be, not the influence of somebody else on your social media coming into your psyche, focus on you look in the mirror and decide for yourself
where you want to go and block everything out and work towards that goal, try not to think about what other people are thinking, try not to get embarrassed. Some people don't even start and if you're just starting, there's nothing to be embarrassed about. That should give you strength. The fact that you are taking one step forward for yourself, that should give you strength and power and self confidence and every step you take, you're only going to get stronger, like working out in the gym,
“every curl you do, your muscle is only going to get stronger. You have to exercise that. You have to”
exercise your inner strength, keep going, little by little, block out any noise and I think that's how you slowly will gain personal strength every day. I think it's like exercising like a muscle,
it takes practice but eventually you will find that it'll come like second nature and you're
just going to continue to achieve because you're just going to be so focused. I think that I hope that made sense. That made tons of sense. Any closing comments before we wrap up? I just hope that we as a community of young women and men out there that we try to
“focus on what matters, although I do work in aesthetics, really what matters is the confidence”
from within and whatever you can do to help yourself be confident if that's a little bit of filler or talks or skincare or laser treatment or working out or being your best self or reading a book or going for a walk, even whatever makes you present in your life and going out into the world confidently and being a beautiful member of your community. That's what I hope that we as a generation can achieve together and that's my life's work too is to help people feel
good about themselves so that we can strengthen the communities. Nicole, thank you so much for
your time energy. Thank you for your powerful words of wisdom. That concludes our episode today
of Women of Power. Thanks for having me with such a pleasure. Thanks again for listening and watching that concludes our episode today. I'm Reggitiers with the Inside Success Network. Bye!
