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!

#17 - Remember who the f**k you are (and why their story isn’t yours)
What happens when you stop making their experience the main storyline and instead make it about yours?
This episode isn’t about a guy, it’s about what happened when I finally started taking my own advice.
It’s about showing up, messy, real, and emotionally sunburnt and being seen anyway.
It’s about remembering who the fuck you are in the mess.
Not just after you’ve cleaned it up.
We talk dating (yes), grief (again), the pull of polarity, and how letting someone in during your most vulnerable moment can actually be the beginning, not of a romance, necessarily, but of a reconnection to yourself.
Because your experience? IS valid, even if it was fleeting, even if it wasn’t reciprocated, even if they’re not your person.
If it changed YOU (good or bad) it counts.
And if you learnt from it, it’s yours…
…and that’s enough.
Show up as you.
Bruised, brilliant, unfinished, but you.
That’s when the good sh*t starts.
