#30 - Life After De*th - the identity reckoning
Sobre este podcast
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 some very unexpected turns.
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!
