If the word bioluminescence had a picture of someone to depict its meaning, it would have to be of Amanda Pavillard. She spares a moment from her loaded schedule of being an actress, content creator, and founder of vegan/cruelty-free/gluten-free/fragrance-free makeup Radiate. The safe space of a conversation explores her journey of "coming into [her] own, being powerful, authentic and bright" while creating a makeup empire around empowerment. We also get her fresh take on being open to possibilities of dating after going through a breakup and having strict look-only rules while on the dating apps. Place that Perfect Pop Highlight on the peaks of those cheeks and tune in for this week's load of laughs and lessons with Amanda.

On this week's episode of Damsels in the DMs, we address Pride Month, and what that means for businesses, the LGBTQ+ community, allies, and those who may be in the process of their coming out journey. We talk about the trials and tribulations of coming out & how allies can be most helpful in this, address a letter writer's inquiry to us about the law banning trans youth from participating in sports, and their desire to get involved to make a difference. As allies, what responsibility can we take on to be most supportive to our LGBTQ+ friends? It's all getting addressed in the DMs.

In this week's podcast collab, we chat with Erin Ramsey, host of You're Such A Catch. Erin began her podcast after getting divorced and re-entering the dating circuit. People kept saying to her "You're such a catch! Why don't you have someone?" To which she learned that dating isn't easy, finding your partner isn't easy, and how can she make that a little easier for others by sharing her trials and tribulations on her podcast? We loved getting to chat with Erin both on our pod and going onto hers, and we hope her advice is as helpful for you as it was for us!

How do we implement the feelings our routine gives us when we don't have time for the routine? It's all being discussed in this week's episode.
