21. Should I Choose Money Over Happiness? with Jamie Lewis

Our guest this week is Jamie Lewis, who, as an esthetician, professional makeup artist, and skincare influencer, does a bunch of beauty stuff. In this episode, she opens up to Erin about not having kids and what it means, what it was like saying goodbye to a solid career to embrace her passion for beauty, and which clean beauty brands she can’t live without. The two get into the representation of different body shapes, sizes, and skin tones in the beauty industry.  After reflecting on her transition from corporate finance to beauty, Jamie talks about how she made it through the first six months after quitting her job, what she did to educate herself in the makeup department, how she got interested in skincare, and what she did to stay afloat during the most stringent pandemic restrictions. She and Erin uncover the sometimes nebulous concepts of ‘clean’, ‘organic’, and ‘medical-grade’ skincare, talking about the impossibility of establishing a standard everyone agrees on and sharing some of their favorite clean beauty products.
