Joey ✨ ,

So insightful!

I’ve been doing makeup for about 10 years and one thing about this business is you never know enough because the industry is forever growing and everyone does things differently. I’m in a space where I want to renew my perspective because I LOVE doing makeup but some seasons I fall off. I just started listening to your podcast and let me just say I’m here writing things down like crazy because it’s time for me to step into my boss era. Working alone is tough but helpful because I know my expectations and create my own signature. Thank you so much for creating this space!
