That Makeup Gal
It’s me, That Makeup Gal!
A business girlie who tripped over all the “shoulds,” tore up the script, and started fresh in her 30s—after life took a very unexpected turn in a direction I absolutely was not ready for.
Grief shook everything I thought I knew. My perspective, my priorities, and the way I moved through the world. This podcast is about the growth that came from those hard lessons and the chaos of navigating some very unfamiliar paths.
After over 15 years in the makeup industry, I’ve seen the highs of running a creative business and the lows of when it all feels like it’s falling apart.
Deep lessons, fun chats with other business owners, and stories that hit home.
Never polished, always real, and that’s what makes it relatable.
Whether you’re here for beauty, business, or just a good story, grab a coffee (or a marg), and let’s rip in!
LUVYA!

#12 - The Myth of Perfection and The Power of Saying No
In this episode we’re tearing up the imaginary rulebook on “perfect” because spoiler alert perfection doesn’t exist. It’s just another way we keep ourselves small and silent.
We talk about how our obsession with being flawless keeps us stuck, hiding, and disconnected. When we try to present a polished picture perfect version of ourselves to the world, we’re not protecting our image—we’re just burying our humanity. And that humanity is where the magic is.
We also get into the seriously underrated power of saying no. Saying no isn’t just about setting boundaries. It’s about claiming your next chapter. Growth isn’t always about what you add. It’s also about what you let go of.
So here’s your reminder to back yourself. Let yourself just be. Rest if you need to, but never because you feel ashamed of not being enough. You already are.
