Ever feel like no one’s really talking about what it’s like to be a mom in this industry? In this episode, I dive into motherhood and business in the lash and aesthetics world, because this topic still feels strangely overlooked. I share what it actually looks like to grow a business while raising kids, and why so many moms are quietly carrying way more than anyone sees.
I talk honestly about the pressure, the guilt, and the constant juggling that comes with being a mom and a beauty business owner, along with what’s helped me stay grounded through different seasons. From setting boundaries to building a schedule that supports your family, this episode is a reminder that you’re allowed to create a business that fits your life, not the other way around.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
If you’ve ever wondered whether anyone else feels this way, you’re not alone. Hit play, listen in, and let this be your reminder that you’re doing the best you can, and that truly counts.

If you've been posting and praying without a real strategy, or wondering why you're putting in all this effort with nothing to show for it, this episode is going to be a total game-changer for how you approach social media.

I know you might be thinking "ugh, not another platform to learn," but hear me out on this one. I share the super simple formula we use with our clients that's getting them thousands of local followers and consistent bookings without needing to go viral or spend hours creating content.

In this episode, I sit down with Jazmin Riorden, a lash artist, educator, and founder of the Melanated Lash Network, to talk about what inclusion really looks like in the beauty space.

This one’s honest, eye-opening, and full of perspective we all need to hear.

Is your lash business missing out on local clients just because you’re not showing up on Google? In this episode, I break down exactly why Google Business Profile is the underrated powerhouse for beauty biz owners and how it helped me get booked out (sometimes while casually walking through Target).

I share why it converts faster than social media, what details you absolutely cannot forget on your profile, and how to make your page irresistible to local searchers. Plus, I spill the tea on real results from my own business and clients who went from “is this working?” to “we’re booked out!” This is the long game that pays off big time, and it’s easier than you think.

What advice would an optometrist have for you as a lash artist? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Gurleen and Dr. Aysha, two optometrists shaking up the beauty industry by bridging the gap between lash artistry and ocular health. We talk about what’s really going on with your clients’ eyes, the risks you might not see, and how collaboration with eye care pros could redefine your services.
We dive into the eye-opening truth (literally) behind lash safety, the habits clients don’t always admit to, and how educating yourself - and your clients - will only continue to help you in your business. Hit play for the answers to the questions you’ve been dying to ask an optometrist.

Are you fully booked and still asking yourself, "But… now what?" In this episode, I walk you through the messy, exciting, and sometimes overwhelming moment when you realize you’re maxed out on clients but your ambition is still wide awake. I share real stories from fellow beauty business owners (and my own biz journey) who’ve hit this exact point and needed a roadmap for what comes next - whether that’s expanding into education, launching a product line, or simply reimagining how to make your schedule work for you.
This is the heart-to-heart you didn’t know you needed if you’ve been quietly craving more freedom, flexibility, or purpose beyond the chair. I offer questions to ask yourself to get clear on what you actually want and how to build it with intention minus burnout.
What you’ll hear in this episode:
Feeling a little lost in your business or not sure what comes next for you? Maybe I can help. I offer 1:1 coaching calls where we talk about where you're at, where you want to be, and help you get some clarity on how to make it happen or how to decide what comes next.
