Hey Bestie,
Can I be real for a second? This year has been full of everything — the wins, the quiet seasons, the “what am I even doing?” moments, and the surprises that reminded you why you started in the first place. And through it all, one thing I’ve learned over and over again is this: we don’t grow alone.
In this industry, it’s so easy to get caught up in comparison — watching who’s booked out, who’s teaching, who’s traveling, who’s “blowing up” online. But what they don’t show you are the prayers, the long nights, the second-guessing, and the support system it took to get there.
Let’s take a second to give gratitude — not just for where we are, but for the people who helped us get here. 💖
💫 The mentors who poured into us even when we didn’t believe in ourselves yet.
💫 The clients who stuck with us through our trial-and-error days.
💫 The friends in this industry who check in with a “You good?” when they can tell you’re not okay.
Community is what keeps us inspired when the burnout creeps in. It’s that fellow esthetician who shares your post just because she wants to see you win. It’s the student who messages you months later saying your class changed her life. It’s the friend who reminds you that rest is part of the grind.
You don’t have to do this alone, Sis. You were never meant to. We rise faster when we lift together — and we shine brighter when we choose gratitude over competition.
As we move into the end of the year, I just want to say I’m thankful for this community. For every beauty pro finding her rhythm, for every educator creating change, for every client who believes in our hands and hearts — we see you, and we’re grateful.
Keep leading with love. Keep building connections rooted in authenticity. And never forget: you are part of something much bigger than you think. 🕊️
