We are joined by a special guest Shirin, the Director of the National Pageant Expo, happening on the 18th Feb THIS month!!!

We talk about how and why, what to expect and why it's amazing to have a safe space for pageantry where we can catch up and enjoy all that pageants have to offer without the points or scores needed! I also heard there are MANY photo ops so all the pageant instas are going to look fireeeee!

You can still grab your tickets and because yours truly is speaking at the panel discussion, you can get 25 per cent off your standard or VIP ticket by using the code PAGEANTCON25!

I HATE the new year, new me trend. Why are you changing yourself, when it should be improving yourself and I know you are like Hannah, that's basically what it means but the reason so many NYD resolutions fail is because we change TOO much!

From the anti-diets to not falling into the numbers trap, and other random talks, listen to our first ep of the year.

We look back at 2023 but also talk about what we should leave behind, and what to bring into 2024!

It's been an amazing year for us and here is to our 7th year next year! If you have any questions or anything, just drop us a message on insta!

I will always remember the shaddeeeee when someone said their coaching was more than just mock interviews... mock interviews are one of the BEST ways of knowing how you will react in an interview! Of course, they aren't all you need to be doing but don't forget them, they may be that tool to helping your confidence with interview! And we should know, many of the queens who have done our mock interview panel charity sessions have taken their crowns home (as well as coaching and being prepared but progress is progress!)

This episode is all about using social media to your advantage, to use the features to talk about your journey and platform, for appearances, all of that!!

It doesn't mean you need to get all the likes or anything like that, but more how you can promote what you want to do with the sash! There is no excuse about not being able to make a difference if all it takes is a few posts!

What is your pageant ick? We've heard of a few but let's talk about them.....

The two H's of pageant coaching are talking pageantry! We have another special guest The Crown Coach aka Harriotte Lane, who has won national titles and placed 4th runner up at Miss International! She has won numerous awards for her coaching and charity pageants, as well as creating Crown Camp and her new social media business of The Social Generator!

We talk about how she became a coach, her highlights, how social media is a great tool in the lead up to the finals, pageant heels and those pageant icks!

You can find Harriotte on insta @thecrowncoach or on her website at https://www.crowncoach.online/

If you have any pageantry questions or want to hear a subject on the podcast, message us on insta!

Today we discuss about the aftermath of pageantry with the negative vibes and fix claims, as well as how to deal with your feelings of lost after a pageant.

For me, this is the ugly side of pageantry where someone needs to be blamed when someone doesn't do as well as one hoped.

Of course there will be times where it could be true and we will never silence anyone's voice, but think before you angry type...

We got former Ms Galaxy International 2019 Beth on the podcast! Beth has been on the pageant scene since 2007, and has held many national titles such as Miss and Ms Galaxy UK, Miss Grand England as well as Miss International UK! After finishing her International reign, she turned to pageant coaching to be able to share the knowledge on! Since then she has coached national and international winners, with all FIVE of the Galaxy UK 2023 winners training with Beth!

We talk about how she got into pageant coaching, coaching transparency, our pageant icks as well as what we want to more girls to learn/do more of!

It was amazing to talk to the queen herself, you can find her website at https://www.queenbpageanttraining.co.uk/

From Canada to the UK, we talk to The Pageant Gal Maria all about pageantry, from owning your power, not comparing yourself to others, the mindset of a queen as well as what we want to see in 2024 pageantry!!

Maria is a FULL time pageant coach hunnniiiii, she has followed her passion to a full time career in pageantry! Having the experience as a past national and international titleholder, she is helping queens from all over the world with her skills and knowledge! She is slaying the social media game with her unapologetic self, saying all that we wish we could!
