That Makeup Gal

It’s me, That Makeup Gal! A business girlie who tripped over all the “shoulds,” tore up the script, and started fresh in her 30s—after life took a very unexpected turn in a direction I absolutely was not ready for.  Grief shook everything I thought I knew. My perspective, my priorities, and the way I moved through the world. This podcast is about the growth that came from those hard lessons and the chaos of navigating some very unfamiliar paths.  After over 15 years in the makeup industry, I’ve seen the highs of running a creative business and the lows of when it all feels like it’s falling apart. Deep lessons, fun chats with other business owners, and stories that hit home. Never polished, always real, and that’s what makes it relatable. Whether you’re here for beauty, business, or just a good story, grab a coffee (or a marg), and let’s rip in! LUVYA!Stevi x

    # 18 - The heart can’t read the fine print…

    We’ve created a culture where every feeling is expected to fit into a tidy label, every connection into a clearly defined category, and every emotional response into a neat little box. But real life? It rarely works like that. This episode is for the people who thought they were “fine” until they weren’t. For anyone who’s ever said “it’s casual” while quietly hoping it might be more. For those who’ve felt something meaningful in a moment that wasn’t meant to mean anything. It’s not just about dating, it’s about the emotional grey zones we live in when things don’t go the way we’d hoped, and how to sit with that instead of scrambling to fix, label, or deny it. I talk about the power of honest communication, even when it’s vulnerable and confronting. The importance of letting yourself feel it before you rush to fix it. And how sometimes, the most empowering thing you can do is admit that your heart hurts a little… and not apologise for it. This one’s equal parts voice note to a friend, emotional accountability checkpoint, and a loving reminder that you’re not alone in the mess. Thanks for tuning into That Makeup Gal!

    #17 - Remember who the f**k you are (and why their story isn’t yours)

    What happens when you stop making their experience the main storyline and instead make it about yours? This episode isn’t about a guy, it’s about what happened when I finally started taking my own advice. It’s about showing up, messy, real, and emotionally sunburnt and being seen anyway. It’s about remembering who the fuck you are in the mess. Not just after you’ve cleaned it up. We talk dating (yes), grief (again), the pull of polarity, and how letting someone in during your most vulnerable moment can actually be the beginning, not of a romance, necessarily, but of a reconnection to yourself. Because your experience? IS valid, even if it was fleeting, even if it wasn’t reciprocated, even if they’re not your person. If it changed YOU (good or bad) it counts. And if you learnt from it, it’s yours… …and that’s enough. Show up as you. Bruised, brilliant, unfinished, but you. That’s when the good sh*t starts. Thanks for tuning into That Makeup Gal!

    #16 - It’s dating, it’s not that deep (the triggers might be though)

    In this episode, I talk about what happens when dating bumps up against abandonment wounds, unresolved grief, and your need to feel chosen. But don’t worry, it’s not all heavy. I also get into the difference between love and limerence (aka, that obsessive, electric, not-quite-love thing that feels so real… until it’s not), and what dating yourself actually looks like when you’re not just playing the “self-love” highlight reel. This one’s for anyone who’s ever over-invested in a talking stage, spiralled from a soft ghosting, or needed to remember that no, he’s not that deep, you’re just healing. A little clarity, a little chaos, a little overshare. (as always.) Thanks for tuning into That Makeup Gal! If you loved what you heard, be sure to hit subscribe so you never miss an episode.

    #15 - If I hurt me first, you can’t: A conversation on Emotional Self-Sabotage

    Ever feel like you’re dating with one hand on your heart and the other on the eject button? Same.  In this episode, I’m talking sabotage, specifically, how I’ve masterfully self-destructed potential relationships before they had a chance to disappoint me. From wearing the “unbothered cool girl ” mask while emotionally dissociating, to mistaking my anxious attachment for “gut instinct,” I’m unpacking how I got in my own damn way. Plus, we’re chatting about what emotional availability actually means, and why your attachment style might just be running your love life like a drunk CEO.  It’s messy.  It’s honest.  It’s good vibes.  Understanding Attachment Styles: Psych Central: 4 Attachment Styles in Relationships  https://psychcentral.com/health/4-attachment-styles-in-relationships#attachment-types Simply Psychology: Attachment Styles in Adult Relationships  https://www.simplypsychology.org/attachment-styles.html Columbia Psychiatry: How Attachment Styles Influence Romantic Relationships  https://www.columbiapsychiatry.org/news/how-attachment-styles-influence-romantic-relationships Overcoming Self-Sabotage: Psychology Today: 6 Ways to Stop Self-Sabotage  https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/click-here-for-happiness/202209/6-ways-to-stop-self-sabotage Insights Psychology: Self-Sabotage – Why We Do It & How to Break the Cycle  https://insightspsychology.org/self-sabotage-psychology-destructive-habits/ Calm Blog: Self-Sabotaging – What It Is, Causes, and How to Stop  https://blog.calm.com/blog/self-sabotaging Free Mental Health Support in Australia: Beyond Blue: 24/7 Support for Anxiety, Depression, and Suicide Prevention  https://www.beyondblue.org.au Healthdirect: Mental Health Helplines  https://www.healthdirect.gov.au/mental-health-helplines MindSpot: Free Digital Psychological Care  https://www.mindspot.org.au/ NSW Health: Mental Health Services and Support Contact List  https://www.health.nsw.gov.au/mentalhealth/services/Pages/support-contact-list.aspxThanks for tuning into That Makeup Gal!

    #14 - Dating as a growth tool (no, seriously)

    Look. Digital dating is weird. We all hate it a little. But what if it could actually be… useful? Stay with me. In this episode, I’m talking about how to actually get something out of the talking stage (yes, even when it fizzles), and how I’ve turned dating into a form of personal growth, therapy, and yes—exposure therapy. From texting with intention to saying exactly who you are from the jump (and letting that scare off the wrong ones), this is your pep talk and permission slip to show up fully. Even if it bombs? That’s a gift too. No more half-versions of you just to keep the convo going. You first. Always. Thanks for tuning into That Makeup Gal!

    #13 - When healing feels like hell (but you’re still doing it)

    Bit of grief, bit of heartache, bit of stress… basically, a classic Tuesday. This episode gets real about the things we don’t post with an aesthetic filter. The parts of ADHD, anxiety, heartbreak, and burnout that aren’t cute, “relatable,” or easy to explain in a carousel post. It’s about what happens when the healing advice runs out, your friends’ patience wears thin, and you’re just… surviving. Because sometimes healing isn’t proactive. Sometimes it’s quiet. Messy. Invisible. This is a raw, real look at what it means to move through hard things on your timeline—not on Instagram’s. If you’ve ever felt like the only one not thriving, this one’s for you.

    #12 - The myth of perfection and the power in saying 'no'

    In this episode we’re tearing up the imaginary rulebook on “perfect” because spoiler alert perfection doesn’t exist. It’s just another way we keep ourselves small and silent. We talk about how our obsession with being flawless keeps us stuck, hiding, and disconnected. When we try to present a polished picture perfect version of ourselves to the world, we’re not protecting our image—we’re just burying our humanity. And that humanity is where the magic is. We also get into the seriously underrated power of saying no. Saying no isn’t just about setting boundaries. It’s about claiming your next chapter. Growth isn’t always about what you add. It’s also about what you let go of. So here’s your reminder to back yourself. Let yourself just be. Rest if you need to, but never because you feel ashamed of not being enough. You already are.

    #11 - Accountability, identity, and moving forward

    This one’s all about accountability—why it matters, why it’s uncomfortable, and why it’s the only way forward.  I share some personal stories and touch on something I think a lot of people will relate to: the identity crisis that can come with grief or trauma. That moment of who am I again? when everything you thought you knew about yourself shifts. It’s not always easy to face, but owning your part in your own story is what makes real change possible.  Let’s talk about it! Thanks for tuning into That Makeup Gal!
