In this episode, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Claire, a bright and ambitious young woman who just graduated from cosmetology school. We had an honest conversation about the beauty industry and how it is about more than beauty. Claire shared her journey into the industry, which was deeply influenced by her mother’s battle with cancer. She talked about how helping her mother regain confidence after losing her hair pushed her toward this career path and how her close-knit family plays a key role in shaping her dreams.

Beyond her career path, we discussed the importance of choosing the right people to surround yourself with, the importance of dreaming big, and sharing a bit of advice I wish someone gave me when I was starting out not only in the beauty and self-care industry, but with entrepreneurship as a whole.

The conversation left me inspired by Claire’s drive and perspective at just 19 years old. She’s just getting started in her career, but she already has the wisdom to know that success is shaped not just by talent, but by mindset and the people we choose to keep around us.
