My guest this week is the owner, designer and vision behind fragrance brand, Cayla Gray. Kelly Kussman started her career in fragrance buying for a major department store where she engaged with both established and niche brands, falling in love with the distinctive nature of scents and their ability to make memories tangible. In 2017, she faced the tragic loss of her first baby who she planned to call Cayla Gray. After struggling with another ectopic pregnancy, Kelly wanted to create a legacy that not only honored the beauty and heartbreak of this bittersweet experience, but also fueled her personal passion for fragrance. From this desire, the Cayla Gray collection was born

In this episode we talk about: 

• How scents can transform you in time and ignite memories

My guest this week is Alex Bradberry, founder of The Sparkle Bar, a Makeup + Beauty Studio located in Scottsdale, Arizona.  

"At The Sparkle Bar we build confidence and celebrate diversity. So, why do we exist? We were really born out of necessity. We are, a global beauty movement and community for the Sparkle Babe who has ever felt like they didn’t necessarily match the “cultural norms” of beauty because they didn’t see themselves represented in the popular beauty campaigns, or represented in the range of foundations, or other implicit signs that feel exclusionary. We flipped that around to create a space that celebrates everything that makes you uniquely you and everyday we get to remind women (and men) on a daily basis through our virtual lessons online, and our in studio experience, that in spite of what society may have told you about what beauty looks like, that here at Sparkle, we see you and celebrate that."

In this episode we talk about:
[1:22] The first time she remembers feeling sexy
[3:35] How beauty has influenced her life
[4:55] Why Alex went from working in sales to opening her own beauty studio, and how diversity in beauty became her mission
[10:08] SEXY
[25:35] Where to connect with Alex and The Sparkle Bar

Have you intentionally though about the words you use to describe yourself? If you asked other people to describe you, would they use any of those same words as well? Words can hold a lot of weight, and sometimes we hold onto the opinions of others long before we realize that we can take our power back. 


In this episode I talk about:

• Taking inventory of words you would use to describe yourself vs asking those close to you what words they would use to describe you.
• Learning to let go of negative words from others and take your power back.
• Understanding that your innate qualities are your greatest gifts.
