Jessica Beeson Tocco, President of Shepherd Strategies, was recently featured on Medical Spa Mastermind — a leading podcast for aesthetic medicine professionals hosted by Kathy Christensen.

In the episode, Jessica joins Michelle Doran, APRN, Co-President of Aesthetic Medical Providers of Massachusetts (AMP-MA), and Audrey Rose, NP, Director of Compliance, to discuss a recent legislative win in Massachusetts and what it took to get there. The conversation covers how AMP-MA organized licensed providers to defeat a restrictive bill, the advocacy strategies that moved the needle, and why government advisory support makes the difference between being heard and being ignored.

She also speaks to the larger stakes: what happens when legislation is written without the people it affects, and how providers can protect their licenses, their patients, and their right to practice.
