A Women's Health Podcast with National Reach, Hosted by Dublin, Ohio Experts

Real Voices, Real Answers — From Right Here in Our Own Backyard

There's a women's health podcast being recorded in Dublin, Ohio. And if you haven't heard it yet, it's worth your time!

"Asking for a Friend" is a monthly video podcast powered by the team at Donaldson Plastic Surgery right here in our community, where host Jillian Birkle sits down with medical professionals to tackle the questions many women have been quietly carrying for years.

Episode topics range from hormones and gut health to cosmetic tattooing, surgical procedures and everything in between.

Reaching listeners far beyond Central Ohio, the show is available on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music and iHeartRadio. But its roots, its experts and its unapologetically honest perspective are homegrown.

"I've been the one Googling symptoms at midnight. I'd get so stuck inside my own head, then I'd try to sleep after finding more questions than answers. But now? I get to sit down with medical experts and ask them all the things many of us wish we could ask about out loud. It is such an amazing opportunity, and I hope this reaches any woman who needs real answers to move forward."

Our Most Recent Episode: The Art of Cosmetic Tattooing & Laser Treatments

In episode 15, Jillian is joined by two of Donaldson's most versatile providers — Paige Brudzinski, RN, BSN, and Andie Schroeder, LME — for an honest conversation about what aesthetic medicine actually looks and feels like from both sides of the treatment chair. Marguerite Weston, MD, IFMCP, rounds out the conversation not as the aesthetic treatment expert but as a curious fellow patient with her own questions. It's one of the most candid episodes yet.

The conversation covers cosmetic tattooing (nano brows, lip blushing and scar camouflage), neurotoxin basics, laser treatments, sunscreen science and the no-commission philosophy that shapes how Donaldson providers collaborate on treatment plans.

One of the most moving portions of the episode centers on scar camouflage work and paramedical tattooing, which are services that carry more emotional weight than many people realize.

"Emotionally, a lot goes into a scar, especially a self-harm scar. It's a new chapter. It's like leaving behind an old identity you're ready to move on from."
— Andie Schroeder, LME

Whether you're curious about starting neurotoxin, have always wondered what's involved in cosmetic tattooing or simply want to understand what happens when you walk into an aesthetics consultation for the first time, this episode is a great place to start.
