Episode 2: Makeup as Self-Expression — Confidence Without Permission

In this episode, we are redefining the way we see makeup. Not as something you need in order to feel confident or beautiful — but as a powerful form of self-expression when chosen intentionally and for yourself.

I talk about the difference between wearing makeup to hide insecurities, seek validation, or as a way to feel beautiful and confident versus wearing it because you want to. We explore how confidence doesn’t come from the act of wearing make-up, but from feeling beautiful and confident in yourself first — with or without makeup.

I also share my 5-step method to expand your confidence when insecurities about yourself or your body come up. These steps are designed to help you meet those moments with compassion, self-trust, and empowerment instead of judgment or avoidance.

This episode is for anyone who is ready to stop performing confidence and start embodying it — on their own terms.

🔥Confidence is a choice. Self expression is you being authentically you.
