Please tell FLM readers who you are and what your mission is.
Personally, every day I try to live to the fullest, love fiercely and create rich, beautiful, abundant and satisfying connections with everyone I am with. In my work life I bring this to bear both in my coaching with couples, women, and families as well as in the salon that I own and run.
With over 20 years as both a stylist and a personal growth coach, how has your definition of beauty evolved?
We all have our traps in what is expected when we are trying to be our most beautiful selves. Each of us gets tripped up and this weighs on us and makes us doubt so much about our dreams and what we want for ourselves. This was why I first became a coach. I wanted to help people see possibilities for themselves for their future. This was what I devoted myself to for 10 years.
Somewhere around 10 years in I remembered that I loved hair and makeup and had once wanted to be a stylist. So I made a shift to becoming a stylist (hair, makeup and clothing) while I was still a part time coach. One of the things that struck me over and over was that no matter who was in my chair, when they looked in the mirror, they saw all of their faults; while I saw everything that was beautiful about them. I knew then I wanted to blend my abilities as a coach and an award-winning stylist to create a change in definition of beauty and therefore create a path for people to see themselves as who they really are, which is beautiful through and through.
Tell readers about Beauty Flip—what is it, and how does it empower women to see and embrace their true beauty?
My mission is to help women reclaim what is beautiful about them. It’s not about conforming; it’s about celebrating authenticity.
Step off the relentless treadmill of unrealistic societal pressures. Instead, embark on a journey to reconnect with your true self, discovering what truly matters to you and how to claim it in the real world. Imagine indulging in serene, spa-like experiences and engaging in evenings filled with meaningful conversations. These moments allow us to break free from self-consciousness, tapping into our inner power and authentic voice.
Through gatherings, talks, educational content, and practices of self-understanding we help YOU bring out just how beautiful each and every one of us are. BEAUTY FLIP is a cause and a community of people coming together to embody a more authentic, satisfying and beautiful life. The goal? To create lifelong learning around our own voice, what matters to you and how you present yourself in the world. Time to walk a different kind of runway, strutting a personal sense of self efficacy. It’s time for a revelation and a revolution. It’s time to empower the authentic expression of the whole person.
