Let’s talk about the pressure to be perfect—and the blurred lines between beauty, enhancements, and identity.

In this episode, we dive into the rise of tweakments, filters, and the “Instagram face” epidemic. We unpack the emotional and professional impact of being in an industry where looking flawless often feels like part of the job—and how it’s changed the way we see ourselves and each other.

We also talk openly about our own experiences with cosmetic treatments, what we’ve learned to love (and leave), and where we draw the line. Plus: a no-holds-barred game of “Rate That Trend” featuring BBLs, baby Botox, fox eyes and more.

This one’s reflective, juicy, and as always… unfiltered.

In this episode, we’re getting real about the burnout epidemic in the beauty industry. From the emotional exhaustion of being everything to everyone, to the pressure to always be “booked and busy” – we’ve lived it, and we know you have too.

We open up about our personal experiences with burnout, how it crept in, the warning signs we ignored, and the boundaries we had to build to recover. Plus, we share the tools and mindset shifts that helped us reclaim our energy, our schedules, and our love for what we do.

Whether you're at your breaking point or just feeling the pressure bubble up, this one’s for you.

Every 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.
