What happens when you’re leading at the highest level of your career while quietly carrying grief, responsibility, pressure, and everything no one sees? This conversation is for the woman who is: – leading at a high level – expected to show up composed, capable, and confident anyway – exhausted from holding it all together In Episode 9 of our special edition Faces Behind Beauty podcast series, I’m honored to be joined by Shauna Lahiri, President of No Makeup Makeup. (And ICYMI - NMM is also Beauty Career Lab LIVE's founding sponsor + the sponsor for today's episode & we are SO GRATEFUL for their support!) Together, we talk about the kind of leadership no one trains you for... How to lead with power, clarity, and trust when your personal life is heavy - when you’re navigating sick parents, identity shifts, burnout, or a season that’s asking more of you than ever before. This is not a conversation about pushing through. It’s about staying powerful without hardening, and resilient without abandoning yourself. In this powerhouse conversation, we explore: What it really means to surrender fear without losing authority or credibilityWhy resilience (not confidence) is the skill that carries you through hard seasonsThe hidden cost of muting intuition, empathy, and emotion in male-dominated leadership spacesHow to lead when you’re expected to be unshakable -even while life is shaking youThis isn’t a highlight reel. It’s a real conversation between two women who’ve lived it. Shauna has worked at the highest levels of the beauty industry, helping build category-defining brands including Meaningful Beauty, JLo Beauty, and Guthy-Renker. Her expertise spans brand and performance marketing, e-commerce, product development, operations, and leadership. But what makes this episode special is her willingness to share the raw reality of navigating senior leadership for some of the biggest beauty brands in the world - while caring for critically ill parents. I have so much respect for who Shauna is as a leader and how she shows up during hard seasons. She proves that power doesn’t disappear when life gets heavy - it refines. If you’re the woman who carries everything at work, at home, emotionally - this episode will feel like validation, permission, and grounding medicine all at once. 🎧 Let’s get into it. 👉 If this resonates, please share this episode with a woman in your network who needs to hear she’s not alone.
