Joining us today is Jenna Justinich, a Certified Nutritional Practitioner, Professional Makeup Artist, Yoga & Meditation Teacher, Herbal Medicine Plant Witch, Breaking Up With Anxiety™ Community Manager, and Mama to a beautiful girl. In this episode, recorded during a call in the private Breaking Up With Anxiety™ Client Facebook group, Jenna and I discuss the importance of mothers prioritizing their mental and physical health, as they are the barometer of the household. When mothers enter a state of dysregulation and neglect self-care, it directly impacts their children's nervous systems, behaviors, and emotional connections. This neglect can lead to frequent meltdowns in children and influence the mother's relationship with her partner, creating either a positive or negative cycle in family dynamics. Tune in to learn how mothers can take steps towards prioritizing self-care, what that realistically looks like for mothers, working through 'mom guilt', what to eat to feel nourished and grounded, the challenges and rewards of instilling healthy habits in children, how to create morning routines as a mother, and so much more!

Michaela Jessome is a 27-year-old makeup artist from Cape Breton, Nova Scotia with over a decade of experience under her brush belt. From the early age of 16, Michaela began working on brides across the island and servicing clients in a photography studio before their shoots. Once she had finished high school, she headed for one of Canada's top makeup schools, John Casablanca's Institute of Vancouver. While living in Vancouver, BC, she fell in love with the city life. Missing her family, she knew she wanted to move back and settled for a city closer to home. Michaela now calls Halifax, NS, home. Michaela's style or “niche” in the makeup scene is now rooted within the music industry. Taking a step back from everyday makeup bookings and bridal, working on music videos and looks for performances is her forte. Check out her work @micjessome

“It's not who you are that holds you back; it's who you think you're not.” - Elise Bigley This Real Talk covers integral aspects of the Entrepreneur's journey, how assessing fear can motivate you, and the best fuel for optimism. I loved chatting with Elise Bigley - Professional Makeup Artist and Hairstylist specializing in commercial, film, portrait and bridal artistry. Elise is a master at her craft, with over 20 years of experience in her industry. She shares how her love for makeup artistry started in her teenage years, and how becoming a mother motivated her to embark on her entrepreneurial journey. She transitioned to freelance work for both the freedom and to model a life to her kids that capitalized on opportunities, even if the path was unconventional. Elise's wisdom shines throughout this Real Talk as she discusses her approach to confronting fear, how previous challenges molded her to be more resilient, and her key piece of advice for people who want to create an entrepreneurial life for themselves. One of my favorite lines from Elise was: “A breakdown means a breakthrough.” She spoke about how the bright side of life is only as bright as it is when contrasted with the dark times we've been through. It's this balance and contrast that develops gratitude, which is essential for a positive outlook. If you're a go-getter and entrepreneur who is starting to build your personal brand, you'll love the lessons that Elise shares in this Real Talk! With so much love & gratitude, Grace

In this episode of How I Got Here, Dreena welcomes Lola Okanlawon to speak about her journey to becoming a highly sought-after Professional Makeup Artist, from the elevator ride that led to her first celebrity client to the words of wisdom and guidance she has for aspiring makeup artists and people in the beauty industry. Reflecting on her younger years as class president in high school, Lola once aspired to be an attorney. She talks about the transitions she made in her subjects of study at college and how the influence of her Nigerian parents guided her to make changes in her life.  Lola's experience working at a hair salon sparked her interest in beauty and helped her develop a deeper connection to femininity and the comradery within the back and brown communities. She broke into the industry by landing a job at M.A.C. and shares the challenges and benefits of navigating a new world of learning while getting her MBA. She shares her candid thoughts on working in retail versus working as a freelancer and gives insight into what led her to pursue freelance makeup artistry professionally, noting what it takes to be successful in a highly competitive service industry. She touches on how her parents feel about her career path now, the only misstep she feels she had in her life, and what path she may have taken if she didn't go so deep into makeup artistry. Lola addresses the importance of unionizing and the many reasons why makeup artists want to join a union, as well as how Leslie Jones has been her biggest champion and the power in choosing loyalty over opportunity. After having worked with top A-list celebrities and at countless major networks and events, Lola shares with us what's next in her journey, including a potential move across the country and a few entrepreneurial ventures that are in the works. She also sheds light on what a day in her life looked like pre-covid and during covid, noting the changes that have happened to the beauty industry as a result of the pandemic. Want to see connect with Lola and see her work?Follow her on Instagram: www.instagram.com/lolasbeautymarkAbout the Host:Dreena Whitfield has a proven ability to create tangible outcomes that helps clients exceed expectations.

In this week's episode, I had the honor of speaking with Christina Cooling, professional makeup artist, writer and mental health advocate, and the founder of The Beauty Illusion, an organization and movement dedicated to redefining beauty, celebrating diversity and individuality.Women are constantly bombarded with images of flawless beauty everywhere: on social media, in magazines, on TV, in the movies. As a professional makeup artist, Christina has seen first-hand the devastating effects of these impossible beauty standards on women's self-esteem, particularly in younger women.Although we intellectually understand images are retouched, airbrushed or otherwise edited, we as women still feel tremendous social and internal pressure to meet a certain level of beauty, or we feel somehow lacking or unacceptable.With peer pressure, societal norms and the billion dollar beauty industry marketing to our deepest insecurities, it's no wonder we spend so much time and money on cosmetics and facial products to try to feel better about ourselves.But, as my guest points out, "....No matter what makeup you're using, no matter how expensive it is, if you can't look at yourself in your own eyes and truly know your worth, then no cosmetic product is going to teach you how to love yourself and how to feel more confident, because the confidence comes from within..."Christina generously shares her own incredible mental health story, one that saw her at rock bottom in her late teens to mid-20s. She shares how she battled her way back from having lost virtually everything and everyone due to her mental illness and how what she learned about herself along the way transformed her into the courageous, resilient, loving, and compassionate woman she is today.Christina now uses her platform to encourage others to focus inward and cultivate their inner strength and beauty while also embracing their unique physical beauty.
