Ep. 308 - A Birthday Pep Talk!
Wed Feb 04 2026
In this special birthday episode of the Friends in Beauty Podcast, I’m taking a moment to slow down, reflect, and share a birthday pep talk straight from the heart.
I talk about how my relationship with birthdays has changed over the years and why I now find more joy in simplicity than big celebrations. I also open up about a recent emotional season—caring for my cat, Kash, during a health scare—and how that experience reminded me of the importance of community, support, and giving myself grace.
I reflect on my journey into the beauty industry, why I believe beauty professionals are the original influencers, and how important it is for us to recognize our impact without feeling overshadowed by social media. This episode is about persistence, self-reflection, and honoring your path—even when it doesn’t look like what you imagined.
If you’re navigating a tender season, celebrating a milestone, or simply need a reminder that you’re not alone, this episode is for you.
