In Episode 4 of What’s The Tea with Sarah E, I sit down with the multi-talented Esther Vallins - actor, dancer, singer, voice-over artist, content creator, and the brilliant founder of Forever Fairest, a children’s entertainment company that brings beloved characters and original creations to life across the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area.

Esther is a dreamer, adventurer, toddler mom, and self-described 70% hot mess - but beneath the humor lies a story of resilience, reinvention, and relentless creativity. With nearly a decade of experience in performing and entrepreneurship, she has built a company that dispatches princesses and even her own characters (like Princess Sparkle Blossom, a unicorn who travels through a “Starlight Portal” to Earth) to surprise and delight children at parties, hospitals, and community events.

In this joyful, unfiltered, and deeply human conversation, Esther spills the tea on:

• Building a business around magic, performance, and storytelling
• What cosplay and children’s entertainment have taught her about authenticity and imagination
• How she balances motherhood, entrepreneurship, and creativity - with plenty of humor and honesty
• Why she believes in “doing it scared” and “cultivating your cringe” as mantras for personal growth
• The healing power of solo travel, and how finding “magic in the mundane” became her guiding philosophy

From performing at children’s hospitals to building a brand that celebrates joy and wonder, Esther’s journey is as heartwarming as it is inspiring. She reminds us that magic isn’t something you find - it’s something you create, even in the chaos of real life.

What’s The Tea with Sarah E serves unfiltered conversations with leaders, dreamers, and doers who are living boldly and unapologetically. Esther brings the sparkle, the humor, and the heart.
