Lindsay Price on Healing Childhood Trauma, Life with Curtis Stone and Her Hollywood Journey

In this deeply moving and wide-ranging episode, Sigourney visits the LA home of actor Lindsay Price that she shares with husband Curtis Stone and their two boys, for a conversation that traverses generational trauma, Hollywood highs, inner work, and what truly matters.

Lindsay, best known for roles in 90210 and Lipstick Jungle, opens up about her extraordinary family history, her journey through fame, motherhood, and how she cultivated deep resilience and inner strength through it all.

Lindsay opens up about parenting with Curtis, therapy, spirituality, and finding real love — both with her husband and within herself.

She also shares the untold story of her Korean mother, who was abandoned at five and carried her baby brother on her back to survive—an experience that would shape Lindsay’s identity, values, and the way she parents her own sons today. The conversation dives into intergenerational trauma, boundary setting, the evolving landscape of representation in Hollywood, and how Lindsay redefined beauty and success on her own terms.

In this episode, Lindsay shares:

Her mother’s harrowing story of survival during the Korean War, and how she was adopted by Lindsay’s paternal grandfather (the founder of World Vision)
What it was like to grow up mixed race in LA, and the racism she experienced in early Hollywood roles
The pivotal moment Aaron Spelling invited her onstage and made her a series regular on 90210
Why she nearly gave up acting right before landing the lead in Lipstick Jungle (and what changed)
The highs and challenges of fame, beauty standards, and being a leading lady
How she met chef Curtis Stone and knew he was The One
The surprising secret behind her lashes (and other Sacred Six beauty essentials)
Her thoughts on Botox, beauty pressures in Hollywood, and building collagen naturally
How she balances career and family, and the parenting tools she uses to support emotional wellbeing
Why therapy, spiritual connection, and female friendships are her non-negotiables

Jess Sepel on OCD, Healing from Disordered Eating, Grief, and Building JSHealth with Heart

In this raw and soul-stirring episode of Beautiful Inside, Jess Sepel—best-selling author, clinical nutritionist, and founder of JSHealth—opens up like never before.

We go far beyond green powders and skin supplements, delving into the darker undercurrents of her story: the obsessive calorie counting, the anxiety, the panic attacks, and the intrusive thoughts that haunted her for years.

Jess shares the moment her husband walked her to a dumpster to throw away her scales, the rock bottom she hit during her honeymoon, and the OCD diagnosis that finally gave a name to her suffering. She also speaks with aching honesty about losing her best friend to suicide, and the purpose that grief ignited in her life.

You’ll also hear the softer, more joyful rituals that now anchor her—nightly magnesium baths, deleting Instagram at bedtime, and her love of gelato and Real Housewives.

This is a conversation about being wildly successful and still deeply human, about doing the inner work, and about building a brand that nourishes from the inside out.

The scale moment: the day she physically threw out her eating disorder
What OCD really feels like—and how therapy changed her brain
Grieving her soul sister and choosing to speak up about mental health
The birth of JSHealth: how a secret blog post went viral overnight
Her surprising night routine (hint: it involves deleting Instagram)
Why pressure is the emotion we don’t talk about enough
