In this debut episode of Nail Table Confessions, I’m pulling back the curtain and getting real about why I chose nails and the raw, unfiltered truth about what’s kept me going all these years.

This industry isn’t always pretty behind the polish. From burnout and beauty standards to building confidence and community this is my story. I didn’t choose nails just for the art or income… I chose it because it saved me when I didn’t even realize I needed saving. And I’m still here because I found purpose, power, and my people behind the table.

If you’ve ever questioned your path in this industry or felt like giving up, this episode is for you.
