That Makeup Gal

Double digits! 

Episode 10 is here, and this one took me by surprise. I’m talking about the “Let Them” theory. The idea sounds great in theory—just let people do what they want, and don’t take it personally. But is it really that simple?

I think there’s a whole layer missing in these conversations. “Letting them” isn’t just about walking away—it’s about doing the actual work to accept people for who they are, without resentment, nor expecting them to be different. 

I also take a look back at my favourite past episodes and why those topics meant so much to me. Plus, a little chat about what’s next—mentoring, writing, and creating a space that moves beyond the noise of social media into something deeper, more intentional, and actually worth reading.

Quick heads-up—this episode sounds a little different because my usual recording setup glitched, so I had to use a backup mic. Bear with me, though, because there’s some good stuff in here. Hopefully, I’ll be back to normal next recording! 

This one’s a short episode, but it’s packed with things I think are worth saying. I’m talking about change (again—it keeps coming up, doesn’t it?) and why it’s so important to share your message if you have the ability to. If you’ve been given the gift of storytelling, use it. Nothing changes if nothing changes, and a lot of the time, that shift starts with speaking up—whether that’s in a big way or a small one.

I also get into what happens when you actually go with change instead of resisting it. If you always do what you’ve always done, you’ll always get what you’ve always got. And sure, there’s safety in keeping things the same, but there’s also so much possibility when you step outside of that. You’re the one steering the ship, and the second you realise that, everything opens up.

This episode gets heavy, but it’s a conversation worth having. I share one of my darkest moments and the profound realisation that followed: the weight of life isn’t always as crushing as it feels in the moment. If we can hold on and make it through, we’ll see the battle for what it was—a testament to our strength, not a marker of defeat.

I also explore the quiet impact of temporary encounters—the unexpected people and moments that remind us who we really are. Because sometimes, it’s those fleeting connections that pull us out of cycles we didn’t even realise we were stuck in.

TRIGGER WARNING at around 17:15 I chat about the heavy stuff. Conversation around su*c*de and mental health in general.

A multi topic episode linking back to the overarching topic of acceptance vs forgiveness.

Grief can steal time, leaving relationships and moments unattended. In this episode of That Makeup Gal, I reflect on reconnecting with others, taking accountability for time lost, and understanding your unique needs for healing—without guilt.

I share how pouring from an empty cup led me to explore the difference between acceptance and forgiveness. Sometimes, healing isn’t about fixing everything but learning to let go in your own way.

This episode is about creating peace, releasing negativity, and preparing yourself for the next chapter of life. It starts with knowing what truly matters to you.

Another deep dive into why choosing to stay single in your 30s is more than okay—it’s often an essential step on the path to self-understanding and healing. Reflecting on the influences of growing up in the 90s and the generational baggage many of us carry - and no that term doesn't always apply in a familial sense, it can be the impact of what surrounded us at that time. 

We’ll explore the transformative journey of unlearning and rethinking the ideals we’ve absorbed from the world around us and how society’s view on mental health has evolved, highlighting the shift toward vulnerability and self-awareness that allows us to address emotional scars we didn’t even realise we were carrying. 

And lastly (and most importantly) why sometimes the most important relationship is the one we have with ourselves, especially when facing mems of the past. 

A candid, hopeful look at how embracing solitude can lead to powerful growth, resilience, and healing in a world that’s FINALLY starting to talk about it.

In this episode, we’re diving into the often overlooked journey of unlearning hyper-independence. For anyone who’s been fiercely self-reliant, you know that finding comfort in vulnerability isn’t just hard—it can feel like breaking down walls you’ve spent years building. I talk about what it’s like to shift from “I can do it all myself” to “Maybe I don’t have to.” We’ll explore how deeply ingrained our independence can be, why opening up can feel so uncomfortable, and why embracing vulnerability might just be the next step forward. 

Tune in as I share my own struggles and realisations on this path toward balancing independence with the power of connection.

I dive into the tension between fear and growth—especially as we navigate adulthood and all the pressure that comes with it. 

We’re constantly told to stay youthful and fight against aging, as if growing up means losing something essential. But I think we lose more by pushing away the very process that makes us whole. I

In this episode, I share my realisations about how the fear of “growing up” might actually be holding us back from true progress. It’s time to look at why we cling to the past, why we’re scared to level up, and how letting go of those fears has changed my own path.
