Send us a textI’m finally sharing a part of my story that I’ve avoided talking about for years. I open up about my experience in the beauty industry during the COVID-19 pandemic and the incredibly difficult decision I made not to receive the vaccine because of my hypersensitivity to medications.I was told by industry leaders to “leave this alone” because it’s too divisive… but I’m recording this episode anyway. Not to change anyone’s mind, not to sway opinions, but to bring more emotional intelligence, understanding, and compassion into our beauty community.In this episode, I talk about:🎀 Why I stepped away from the industry for six months🎀 The internal battle between being a “good girl” rule-follower and honouring my health🎀 How judgement and division hurt our beauty community more than any policy ever could🎀 Why I believe differing opinions should never lead to discrimination🎀 My commitment to helping create a more inclusive, respectful, and supportive industry moving forwardThis episode isn’t about politics, medicine, or convincing anyone of anything. It’s about acceptance. It’s about humanity. It’s about remembering that behind every decision is a real person just trying to do their best.I close the episode with the message that sits closest to my heart: Our industry thrives when we hold space for each other. We don’t need to share the same views to show each other respect.If you’ve ever felt judged, misunderstood, or pressured to hide a part of who you are just to “fit in,” this episode is going to land deeply for you.
