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!

If I Hurt Me First, You Can’t: A Conversation on Emotional Self-Sabotage
Ever feel like you’re dating with one hand on your heart and the other on the eject button? Same.
In this episode, I’m talking sabotage, specifically, how I’ve masterfully self-destructed potential relationships before they had a chance to disappoint me. From wearing the “unbothered cool girl ” mask while emotionally dissociating, to mistaking my anxious attachment for “gut instinct,” I’m unpacking how I got in my own damn way. Plus, we’re chatting about what emotional availability actually means, and why your attachment style might just be running your love life like a drunk CEO.
It’s messy.
It’s honest.
It’s good vibes.
