A Question Of Confidence with Joanna Lee (previously known as Behind The Lashes)

In this series I'm going to explore that little chap we call Confidence - an elusive and at times slippery customer but well within your grasp.  Life throws us curve balls that can knock it from time to time and my goodness we've had an avalanche of those in the last couple of years but that doesn't mean that your Mojo is beyond your reach.  I want to find out from my guests what helps them to feel, or at least look more confident when they wake up feeling like climbing back under their 13 tog!  Tips, tricks, strategies are here for the taking and I just so hope that you will cherry pick the golden nuggets that could well work for you to get you back in the game and upping your confidence so that you can get out there, facing your audience and shouting YOU and your BIZ from the rooftops.

My promise to you is that there will not be an annoying echo on all of the episodes.  I was just bursting to get this out there so that I can hasten on with my first guest - who - is - FABULOUS!

In this post pandemic episode we look more to the future as we move further away from the lockdowns and all the anguish those brought with them. Many of us had to pivot our businesses just to survive but my guest Sophie Mason fully pivoted her business when she saw the opportunity to get the life she wanted. Sophie was an all round beautician and worked for many years with her own thriving business until Covid hit. During the lockdowns she created LashFest - a very successful lash conference. She's passionate about helping other women reach financial independence and is now a business coach as well. Find out more, as in true 'Behind The Lashes' style; I have a good old poke around! You'll find Sophie @iamsophiealexandra and @Lashfest__ on IG

Nipping off over the Atlantic again for this episode.  I speak to a brand new guest on Behind The Lashes.  She's Senior Master Lash Artist for Lashbox LA and a seriously accomplished lash artist and educator.  She was in right at the beginning in 2006 when she saw a picture in a magazine and begged the salon she was in to get a trainer in there and eventually they listened and thus her love affair with lashes began.  She has a really big heart and is as passionate about helping others as she is about making people look and feel beautiful.  You only need to look at her instagram to see this and speaking of which if there was a prize for creating copious amounts of dreamy content; I think she'd win it! Check her out on tress.lashboxla

Tress is coming to London in May to speak at @lashfest__ she is running her training the day before on 14th May and there are a couple of spaces left.  There are also a few tickets left to Lashfest.  I'm going - I'm MC for the day and speaking also.  Come and join us!

Julie Knight aka Elite Eyelash Extensions is a self confessed lash addiction based in the UK but her talents don't end there. She owns, publishes and edits Lash-EDagazine. She's co-founder of World Lash University with Katie Godfrey. She's a motivational speaker, judge and educator and all this alongside 30 years in the Police! So much to talk about...enjoy!

And Exclusive interview for Behind the Lashes this time.  Hanna Putjato has taken time out of the public eye for over a year and in this episode we delve into why but also why she has no plans to put herself back in the limelight.

Overseas again for this next episode and I speak to a new kid on the block in terms of this podcast series.  She's no stranger to lashes however!  A seasoned lash artist and wizard of colour lashes, which is very apt as she has the most bright and colourful personality as you'll find out. She's based over in Georgia, Atlanta in the US.  Find out how she has been affected by the pandemic and have fun getting to know her with me.

I catch up with Sylvia Liu of Lash Heaven for the first time since her relocation back to her home country of Sweden.  Why did she make the move and how is it going?  Find out in this episode.

A little collection of voices for you in this one, reflecting on how peeps are feeling getting back to work after the weekend.  Mixed feelings all round but lots of excitement too.  Many of you listeners will surely relate to this.    Let's hear from Lou Dempsey, Jade Jones and Amy Dommett and Tara Fisher and good luck to all lash artists in England on the 12th.
