Like many of us, I started in the beauty industry at 14 with a brush in my hand and a drive to create. I was deeply invested in the craft, starting in makeup and eventually growing into a full-scale lash business. But as the years went by, I noticed a shift.
It wasn't just happening to me; it was happening to all of us.
We were watching talented women burn out, chasing visibility instead of sustainability. We were performing for platforms that rewarded noise, while our leadership and our peace took a backseat.
I realized then that what was missing wasn’t effort, we were all working hard enough. It was structure.
