    106. Nicole Havrda: F1 Academy Driver on Racing, Beauty & Becoming the Face of L'Oréal Paris

    It’s episode 106 of LoudTalk with Lavi and today we’re getting LOUD with Nicole Havrda; a professional motorsport driver who is challenging beauty standards in the world of athletics, landing herself a sponsorship with the one and only L'Oréal Paris as a result. Nicole shares how the world of racing is full of stigma and conflicting expectations when it comes to appearances, and how she has made her own rules regarding beauty. Alongside an inside scoop of what life is like as a female driver (a male dominated field), Nicole tells us how her confidence is more than skin deep. How putting in the work, having the passion to follow your dreams, and bravery to carve your own path has brought her to where she is today. Whether you want proof that big dreams can come to fruition (with a little grit and determination), or you’re just interested in how someone can drive so fast and look SO good, you’ll want to tune into this one.

    105. The Power of Content Creation for Makeup Artists: How Selena Marchand Built a $1M Beauty Empire

    In episode 105 of LoudTalk with Lavi,we sit down with Selena Marchand. A makeup artist, who used content creation to build a $1M beauty empire by doing what most people are too afraid to do... being vulnerable and showing up even when you don't feel ready to do so. Selena shares how she started posting skits based on real stories from her life as a working makeup artist, and how that raw, unfiltered honesty is exactly what made her blow up online. She also opens up about something almost no one in the beauty industry talks about — exactly how much money she makes, and why she believes that transparency is her biggest business advantage. If you're a makeup artist, beauty professional, or content creator trying to figure out how to turn your craft into a business, this episode will change the way you think about content.

    104. I thought my business launch failed... but God had a bigger plan

    Eps. 104 In this episode, we get LOUD about faith, entrepreneurship, and what it really means to trust God's plan when everything seems to be going wrong. After taking a step back from the podcast, I'm finally back with a life update and the full story behind the launch of my newest nine2five product. What I thought would be a disaster quickly became one of the clearest examples of God working in my life. From moving to Montreal and starting a new chapter, to product delays, packaging mistakes, launch setbacks, and unexpected challenges, this journey tested my patience, my mindset, and my faith. Looking back, every obstacle ended up leading to something better than I could have planned on my own. In this episode, I share the behind-the-scenes story of building nine2five, the lessons I've learned about letting go of control, and the Bible verses that helped me navigate uncertainty throughout the process. If you've ever felt frustrated by closed doors, delayed plans, or seasons where nothing seems to be working out, I hope this conversation reminds you that sometimes the things we see as setbacks are actually preparing us for something greater.

    103. I Stopped Hiding My Acne… And Everything Changed! Acne in the beauty industry with Laura Estada

    Eps. 103 In this episode we get LOUD about acne, confidence, and what it really means to embrace your authentic self in a world that constantly tells you to hide your flaws. I’m joined by Laura, also known online as Acne Baddie Laura, a beauty creator who has built a powerful community by showing her unfiltered skin and redefining what makeup and confidence look like on acne-prone skin. Laura shares her journey from using beauty filters and trying to hide her acne online to becoming one of the most recognizable voices in the skin positivity space. We talk about the pressure of beauty standards, the harsh comments people receive on social media, and how choosing to show your real skin can actually become one of the most empowering things you do. We also dive into the reality of becoming a full-time content creator — from imposter syndrome and algorithm stress to brand deals, PR, and what it’s really like building a career online. If you’ve ever struggled with acne, confidence, or feeling judged for how you look, I hope this conversation reminds you that your worth is not defined by your appearance — and that confidence often starts the moment you stop hiding.

    102. Lavinia Answers the Internet's Most Googled Questions

    Eps. 102 In this episode we get LOUD about feeling lost after big milestones, anxiety in your 20s, and learning to trust God when you don’t fully understand where He’s leading you. After recording 100 episodes, I found myself at a crossroads — questioning my direction, my motivation, and what this podcast is even meant to be in this next season. We also dive into your questions about internal health, GI testing, acne, identity, career shifts, and what it’s actually like self-funding a skincare brand while navigating comparison and pressure in your mid-20s. If you’re in a season of transition, self-doubt, or feeling “behind,” I hope this conversation reminds you that you are not alone — and that clarity often comes after surrender 🤍 Bible Verses Mentioned: Proverbs 20:24 “The Lord directs our steps, so why try to understand everything along the way?” Proverbs 3:5 “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not lean on your own understanding.” Proverbs 24:16 “The godly may trip seven times, but they will get up again.” Shop real skin. real results: https://nine2fiveskin.com/ Audio versions: Catch LTWL on Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast...

    101. Redefining Acne Care: How Common Clouds Is Changing Skincare Culture

    Today we get LOUD with Maria Algren, co-founder of Common Clouds, Scandinavia’s first acne-positive skincare brand. Based in Stockholm, Common Clouds was built to challenge traditional beauty standards and the idea that acne needs to be “fixed.” In this conversation, Maria shares her personal journey with acne, rosacea, and skin shame, and how those experiences—along with years spent working inside the beauty industry—sparked the creation of a brand rooted in transparency, education, and compassion. We dive into how beauty standards differ between Scandinavia, North America, and Asia, why “natural beauty” can sometimes create even more pressure, and how acne stigma continues to affect mental health across generations. Maria also opens up about starting a fully female-led company, building skincare products without marketing fluff, and setting realistic expectations around what skincare can—and cannot—do. This episode is a reminder that skincare goes far beyond the surface, and that confidence, worth, and purpose aren’t defined by clear skin.

    100. If success was GURANTEED after 100 failures.. Would you quit?

    Today we get LOUD for the 100th time on the LTWL podcast. I started this channel 3 years ago as a way to break down the walls of beauty standards, create a space for inspiring conversations with beauty founders and creators, and leave viewers with more positive outlooks. I've thought about quitting many times. So why am I celebrating today? I am celebrating because I kept showing up for the dream and passion I had. Regardless that I haven't seen "success" in terms of numbers because I have gained success in the conversations had and continuing to get LOUD. This is just the start - so if you knew you were guaranteed success after many many failures, what would you try?
