dude I had QUITE the revelation - imposter syndrome runs deep man. it doesn't just stem from not thinking I'm good enough BTC, but it stems from being a 14 year old, trying to make adult like decisions.. having sex for the first time, getting drunk, being kicked out, so much shit.

I get pretty personal with this episode.. warning - I do cry a little. it was very.. enlightening but I'm not sure thats the word. just give it a listen. there isn't any way I can describe this.

ps. - I'm getting ready while I recorded this EP so don't mind the extra noises.

I was fortunate enough to come across this kind soul through a mastermind program I'd been in, and I'm so heckin' glad I did!

This is Justine Wolfe - or as some might know her as Polished Style. She is a wedding hair expert from AUS who's story is pretty inspiring.

We chat about her journey as a professional and how one day she looked at her partner and said "I wanna wake up and do what I love at any given moment" to which they responded with " alright, let's hire a babysitter" - and that's where this beautiful journey began!

listen how she turned 200 followers to 115k followers in just 2 and a half years, built a full virtual course and online education program from scratch all while being a momma of 2 and exclusively doing wedding styling.

this interview inspired me to be honest. it was such a nice reminder that we too are all human and share similar journeys.

Get what you want - its that simple.

I chat with Julie Solomon and get to the bottom of her new book Get What You Want. She talks about how she was a buiz coach and helping others, to realizing she wasn't filling her own cup; she wanted more, but how? She shares a very vulnerable side to her journey (that you gotta listen to learn about) and how that propelled her to want to be better, to start putting herself out there because she was in fact worth more then what she allowed herself. This book outlines her journey to success and provides a blue print for those who are ready to do the same,

this interview is kinda juicy. from knowing your worth, to how social media is actually your best friend, to how empowering it is to turn those fears into financial successes.

check out her book here!

dude... I FOUND THE FUCKIN' AUDIO FILE!!!!!! I left my laptop at the Houston airport like an idiot and lost this audio file... to find it on my heckin' iMac!!!!!!!!

you have no idea how excited I am.

Mirella Manelli and I are starting this super cute series called Madness with Meez to chit chat about all things entrepreneur, hair, and buiz jams.

This episode talks about just getting started - Rome wasn't built in a day. you just need to get started man! there is no road map to success. success is defined by how you want it to look. Mirella shares some insightful knowledge about a recent podcast she has been listening to and how she finds inspiration. listen to find out what we think is the best way to get started.

Hi hello - truly sorry for the hiatus. I left my god damn laptop at the Houston airport which had a bunch of episodes on there. I usually download them to my hard drive but GUESS WHO FORGOT TO.

anyways - here is a cute little mini episode.

guys.... why are we filtering our photos of our WORK!!?!?!??!?!? dog, I was scrolling on my IG today and I just kept seeing filtered ass photos! I'm like this can't be real.. WHY are we putting filters on our work? are we not proud of what we've done? maybe, that's what it looks like. are we being overcritical of ourselves and hindering our growth by doing that? yes.

practicing this only takes you so far. creating a fictitious reality always falls short. what happens when someone comes in and asks for that photo? are you going to tell them that's a filter and unrealistic? because if you aren't, you're lying.

be PROUD of who you are and what dope ass shit you've created! I'm proud of you, your friends are proud of you, hell, even strangers on the internet are proud of you. don't let yourself down by doing this.

anyways... check out my website https://www.artistryoflisag.com

OH MAN OH MAN! This is a HELL of a podcast episode.

Let me just tell you.. this came together last fucking minute (per usual) and I mean the day of type shit.

I welcome a few of my entrepreneur friends - Meghan, Liz, Kass, and Emily to the show as we dive into the struggles of being self made, their own personal journey, how mental health has ultimately changed the game for them, and how the hell to use social media! Each gal has been in the game / entered the game at different times. Meghan, Liz and I were pre covid, pre social media, and Kass and Emily are during Covid / right before Covid and have a really interesting perspective on this whole "self made" jam,

In this 2 hour episode, we go IN on some struggles, mental health, big wins, and so much more!

Here are these lovely ladies socials!

Oh SHIT boy - this is my journey to California! I've never actually sat down and told this story, so I'm apologizing now for how I jump kind of all over the place (there's alot of details I even missed so I'll retell the story one day)

I talk about my journey that entailed a LOT of growth, happiness, sadness, loneliness, and so much more. there's even a few details I haven't shared with anyone on social media that might shock you..

but now, I don't give a fuck, this is my life, this is my story, this is what I went through, this is my pain, happiness, sadness, celebration, and so much more.

judge it, talk shit, do whatever you want.

but just remember, at the end of the day, one day they love you, next day they hate you, both days I got paid. fuck you, I'm doin' me.

give it a listen - make sure to subscribe to me for more shit.

I interview a social media friend of mine, Destiny, and we chat about her journey as a stylist (which honestly shocked me) and just a few touchy subjects ;)

surprisingly, covid didn't really affect her! it was quite refreshing to have a new mindset about the whole pandemic. she talks about her journey at the salon, and what she believes needs to change with the cosmetology education.

go give her a follow!

Hi helloooooo - it's just me today! did y'all miss my solo rants?

anyways! so my friend Jason and I were talking and he sparked this thought I had - you are what you attract.

well no shit right? but here's the thing... I find it so unfair that in societies eyes we HAVE to be a certain way you know? like in order for us to gain respect, you gotta talk the talk and walk the walk - but what if people just accepted you for what you are?

sheesh - what a thought process right? professionalism is defined differently by everyone, and not a single person's OPINION is wrong, it just doesn't apply to you if you don't agree, but I personally find it very important for you to be able to be yourself with your career as you are in real life. I mean being SELF made, you're literally selling YOURSELF, and if you aren't true to your self, then who are you selling?

you are what you attract - be genuine and true to you, you will find people who share that same belief and respect you, creating the best relationships you'll ever find. simple.

that's all! stay tuned for the next episode where I interview Destiny Metheny and we get a lillll spicy about some controversial topics ;)

Oh man - I've been WAITING for this episode to come out. I interview my good friend Mirella Manelli ; educator, business owner, mother, stylist, business coach, she wears all the hats and does all the things.

Mirella is a 20 year vet in the cosmetology industry. She's owned her salon for almost 5 years, has been an educator almost her whole career, and now creates digital content to help other stylists make the most out of their career. When she's not filming or BTC, she's a wonderful momma to 4 beautiful children! (I don't know how she manages everything, she's seriously a Wonder Woman)

Fun fact - I moved across the country just to work with her! I knew Mirella from working with Kenra Professional, and I valued her mentality so much. She has a refreshing outlook on life, hair, business that made me feel.. normal.

I was SO excited to bring her on and share the wealth of the knowledge bank she has. In this interview, we discuss Hustle Culture, her career path, how she got started, what the industry has been like for her, and she even finished it off with giving some tips and tricks for your business. She values entrepreneurism and discusses what she believes are the keys to success, and has a had conversation about Hustle Culture.
