Leaving her family behind and building a life in a new country wasn’t easy - especially when her first jobs here were in cleaning. One of those jobs even ended with her being fired.Despite being fully certified in lashes, Karolina didn’t step into the industry straight away. It took a message from her mum — “Karolina, why aren’t you using your lashes?” — along with the constant encouragement and mental push from a close friend who truly believed in her, for her to finally take the leap.From having one client a week and worrying about how she’d pay her rent, to becoming a powerhouse in the lash industry, Karolina’s transformation is nothing short of inspiring. She opens up about being painfully shy, wanting to stay behind the scenes, and how she’s grown into someone who now speaks at conferences, judges international and online competitions, and teaches incredible courses.In this episode, Karolina shares:How she built her client base from scratchPutting business cards everywhere - even on trees 🌳Why starting slow is completely normalHow to set strict boundaries with clients and protect your time, energy, and businessWhy trusting the process is key when things feel uncertainHow attending conferences helped build her confidencePlus… a funny moment where Karolina admits she opened a mystery London Lash box she was definitely told not to open 👀 (don’t worry — I kept it in).And yes - we start the episode with matcha ☕️ Because now, if I think of matcha, I instantly think of Karolina.If you’re at the beginning of your journey, struggling with boundaries, or tempted to give up - this episode is for you.This episode is Sponsored by Elleebana20% Off Discount code: LASHLOVE20Shop now: https://www.houseofelleebana.com/collections/online-coursesThank you for pressing play and joining me!
