Ep 18 | Leaps of Faith: How Shelby Rebuilt Her Life, Career & Confidence From Scratch

Khe Dean & Diamond Jackson Season 1 Episode 18

What does it look like to start over—with no plan, no license, a child to care for, and a dream burning in your heart?

In this moving episode of Salon Talk Literally, we sit down with Michelle "Shelby" Bernard, a bold and faith-filled hairstylist, author, and creative who walked away from comfort and familiarity to chase purpose in a brand new city.

💬 Shelby shares:

  • Her unexpected leap from Atlanta to Dallas with her toddler and no clientele
  • How one viral TikTok changed everything
  • Navigating the guilt of leaving family behind while trusting God's direction
  • Her spiritual transformation—from club bartender to surrendered believer
  • Why rejection, closed doors, and divine timing were her greatest gifts
  • The hard truth about building a brand while balancing motherhood and healing

This episode is for anyone who’s ever felt stuck, scared, or unsure of their next step — but knew there was more.

🔥 If you’ve been praying for a sign to take the leap… this is it.
