Creating More Than Pretty
Welcome to Creating More Than Pretty—the podcast for entrepreneurs building beautiful businesses from the inside out.
This is a space for creative professionals who know their work is about more than aesthetics, More than trends, More than what looks good on the surface.
Here, we are peeling back the layers of what it looks like to build businesses that feel aligned, sustainable, and deeply fulfilling—while still creating exceptional experiences and meaningful results for the people you serve. Be ready to hear real, unfiltered conversations from professionals who share their wins, lessons and their behind the scenes moments that don't always make it to the public eye. Together, we’ll talk about growth, purpose, and the beauty that comes from building something meaningful — inside and out. Because the work you do creates more than what people see.
Creating More Than Pretty
Going from Marine to Mom Boss in the Beauty Industry with Nakia.
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode you'll meet Nakia @thevirtualskincarecoach & @browtotoe from Hampstead, NC. She is a former marine who decided to pursue a career in the esthetics industry as a mom. She shares how being a marine has influenced her as a mom and a business owner.
As a mom to a teenage girl, Nakia strives to be someone that her daughter would want to emulate. "Children watch everything we do" she says, and she works hard to make sure her daughter sees all the hard work that goes into not only being a mom, but running a business.
She explains that she creates balance in her life by creating structure, rules and boundaries and sticking to them! Plus she is not afraid to say "no".
Nakia also shares how she was resourceful during the pandemic and began to coach clients, virtually, about their skin. She felt it was a great opportunity to teach them and knew they would benefit from getting personalized advice from a professional and not from a celebrity.
Going from Marine to Mom Boss wasn't easy, however she had a great foundation and has not been afraid to invest in herself. She has a great story to tell that I know you'll enjoy!
