Ashley Groenewald is a Makeup artist with a big personality from a tiny country.  She will yell; "Trust the process" at you until you do.  I love Ashley’s energy and blunt advice she gives in this episode. We talk a lot about the creative process and creative blocks, how she is a makeup empath who thrives when she’s executing her client’s vision.  Ashley and I also talk about the diversity in our makeup and models and our responsibility to represent the beautiful humans we encounter every day.  I know you will love this episode!!
