In Our Delulu Era
Send us a messageEvery beauty pro has a delulu phase—and in this episode, we’re airing ours.From undercharging because we “just love it,” to thinking a Canva post would get us booked for months, we’re reflecting on the wild, naïve and hilariously optimistic things we believed at the start of our careers.We’re talking early business delusions, marketing fails, unhinged launch ideas, and the ones we still secretly believe in. (Manifestation or madness? You decide.)💭 Prepare for laughs, flashbacks, and some eyebrow-raising honesty.🎧 New episodes drop every Monday at 9amProudly sponsored by Buff Brows – use code WTP15 at checkout.Support the showAs always if your loving our podcast please give us a 5-star rating and leave us a cheeky review.
