I started in the beauty industry in 2019. I quit my job and started doing lash extensions full time. The pandemic hit, and I applied for universal credit to assist whilst I was mastering lash extensions. During this time I was being hit back to back with existential crises; is this a simulation or not?
I managed to get my own studio spot and then take on a junior to support the growth. Externally, I’m with winning back-to-back bookings with up to 8 clients a day. I’m making money, but I’m unfulfilled. Maybe I need to move abroad? Something is missing.
I feel the urge for change. Maybe I’ll become a trainer and coach. I need more purpose. I need a WHY bigger than my ego. My mind is struggling with the superficiality of the beauty industry, having to always look the part.
I read, you want peace? Try Jesus. Now, what has Jesus got to do with beauty. My consciousness is rising. I’m curious about my clients and the stories that made them who they are. My heart is opening. God, is this you?
Some of my clients are so talented. Different ages, races and ethnicities, but we all have one thing in common. We are all overcoming insecurities, heartbreak, and the battle of our minds. So this industry isn't superficial; it's just my limited perspective. How can I serve my clients better? Do they want a discount or to be seen?
It's time to evolve, dig deeper, heal my triggers, and awaken my next level of soul evolution. Oh yes, I forgot; my best friend, existential crisis wants to join me. However, it's time for us to part ways; I know who I am now.
