from Smiling Gives You Wrinkles

I often get DM's from followers that go something a bit like this: "You've been smashing it lately." Or "We love what you're doing." Or, "What an inspiration - keep doing what you're doing."And while messages like these keep me going, behind-the-scenes, I’ve been facing a massive internal struggle, and in this incredibly raw and honest episode, I’m opening up about why this has financially been my worst business year to date, and why I am officially refusing to wait around for the beauty industry to see my worth.🎧 In This Episode, I Cover:The Outside vs. Inside Reality: Reflecting on a year of major professional highs (writing for Allure, taking part in a Channel 4 TV show, and being invited to speak on top podcasts) while quietly navigating an internal business struggle.Why the Beauty Industry is Broken for Midlife Creators: The reality of how AI is shifting brand spending and why the industry’s obsession with younger demographics leaves experienced experts feeling undervalued.Stepping Into My 3.0: Why I’m diversifying my career and helping my husband grow his Florida real estate business.The "Fuck It, I'm 50" Energy: How I'm taking control and the power and beauty of standing in your truth as you age.✨ Connect With Me:Subscribe to the Newsletter: Get unfiltered product reviews and midlife beauty secrets at thebeautyed.com.Follow the Journey on YouTube: Watch my weekly Florida vlogs at The BeautyEd Vlog on YouTube.Instagram: @thebeautyed
