A beauty YouTuber-turned-beauty CEO, Lisa Jauregui is beloved by many. But it’s not only because she is one of the kindest people you will ever meet. It’s also because she strongly believes in - can you guess it? - boundaries. (Gotta love those!)

This sweet friend has been a personal inspiration to me for a long time, not only as an entrepreneur, but the way she is absolutely committed to giving back, and supporting causes that make the world a better place. In this episode, Lisa talks to me about:

- How she found herself in the beauty education business.

- What it’s really like to start a beauty platform on YouTube.

- How having children changed the way she thought about beauty.

- How boundaries helped her create one of the kindest, most supportive beauty communities out there.

“For children that have gone through tough times, when they look up, they’re just looking for somebody to look back at them with no judgement. To say: “I hear you. I see you.” - Gigi Edwards Bryant⁣⁣⁣

There are few people who inspire me the way Gigi Edwards Bryant does. Having entered the foster care system at age 6, and staying there until age 18, she has one of the most powerful stories I’ve ever heard. And y’all...seriously, I’m telling you, you. Will. LOVE. Her. ⁣⁣⁣

In this episode, Gigi talks to me about:⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
- What it was like as a child, being raised in the foster care system⁣⁣⁣.

- How she put herself through college, earned multiple degrees, launched a business, and raised a beautiful family.

- How she created a foundation for foster children, providing for them - among other things - pens and paper for journaling, and dresses for prom⁣⁣⁣.

- How we can all honor Black families and ensure their children are given the exact same opportunities as every other child, for a vibrant, wonderful future.⁣⁣⁣

10/10 would recommend *this episode* for entrepreneurs with big dreams.

Kelly Wynne is an inspiration to many, and has always struck me as confident, bold, and a woman on a mission. But in this conversation, she reminds us that you don’t need to be perfect all the time. Your vulnerability lets people in, and helps deepen the human connections that make any business (or parenting!) venture worthwhile.

In this episode, Kelly talks to me about:

- How she went from handbag-designing pipe dream to big time brand.

- The mentor who took her dream seriously (even when Kelly didn’t).

- How to find your “balcony people”.

- Her journey with postpartum depression, and how she came out strong on the other side.

For moms juggling work and kids...I feel like this episode will really resonate.
