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!

#18 - The heart can’t read the fine print…
We’ve created a culture where every feeling is expected to fit into a tidy label, every connection into a clearly defined category, and every emotional response into a neat little box. But real life? It rarely works like that.
This episode is for the people who thought they were “fine” until they weren’t. For anyone who’s ever said “it’s casual” while quietly hoping it might be more. For those who’ve felt something meaningful in a moment that wasn’t meant to mean anything. It’s not just about dating, it’s about the emotional grey zones we live in when things don’t go the way we’d hoped, and how to sit with that instead of scrambling to fix, label, or deny it.
I talk about the power of honest communication, even when it’s vulnerable and confronting. The importance of letting yourself feel it before you rush to fix it. And how sometimes, the most empowering thing you can do is admit that your heart hurts a little… and not apologise for it.
This one’s equal parts voice note to a friend, emotional accountability checkpoint, and a loving reminder that you’re not alone in the mess.
