Is it time to put down the tweezers...or just time to pivot? This was a requested topic, and I dive into the real question so many lash artists are quietly wrestling with: knowing when it's time to evolve or walk away from lashes entirely. I'm not here to tell you what to do—just sharing my journey of shifting from lash artist to educator, coach, and podcast host, and all the messy, beautiful in-between moments that came with it.

Whether you're feeling burnt out or just wondering if it’s okay to want something different, this episode is for you. I peel back the curtain on my decision-making process, how I knew it was time to move on, and the fears (and freedom) that came with it. Grab your coffee, take a breath, and let’s talk about what happens when your dream stops feeling like the dream.

What you’ll hear in this episode:

• The moment I knew I hit my “max” as a lash artist
• Why resentment can be a flashing neon sign
• The mindset shift that helped me let go without guilt
• How can you tell when your business no longer fits your lifestyle or goals?
• What starting over really felt like (hint: not cute, but worth it)
• Why changing your mind doesn’t mean you’ve failed
  
  

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 now, where you want to be, and help you get some clarity on how to make it happen or how to decide what comes next.
