In this episode, I’m sharing personal experiences from my own journey — including how I handled a fake review, navigated difficult feedback, and learned to protect my business without losing my kindness. You’ll learn how to respond to criticism professionally, set boundaries with confidence, and build a brand rooted in trust, consistency, and emotional leadership. Because long-term success isn’t built by avoiding difficult moments. It’s built by how you lead through them. ⭐ Listener Perk: Use code PODCAST for 10% off Passion & Vision adhesiveshttps://beautybytammy.ca Grace Over Gossip: How I Handled Haters, Competitors, and Protected My Peace Building a business in the lash industry requires more than skill.
