Welcome to a very special and reflective episode of Samantha’s Beauty Confessions. Today, we’re closing the curtain on Season One, and I wanted to take a moment to update you on what’s next for the podcast, my business, and, well… life. If you've ever felt stretched thin trying to keep up with your dreams, this episode will resonate. I get candid about the highs, the challenges, and why prioritizing our mental health is sometimes the most beautiful choice we can make.

In this episode, I talk about the reality of juggling it all—from creating content, educating, and traveling, to still working behind the chair! These past months have brought big changes, and while my passion for this podcast is as strong as ever, I realized I wasn’t able to give it 100% right now. So, I'm choosing to step back, recharge, and come back with even more heart, knowledge, and inspiration for Season Two. This break isn’t goodbye—it’s about coming back stronger and more intentional.

I also share a big thank-you to each of you for tuning in each week, for every listen, every message, and every story shared. It’s your support that fuels this journey, and I can’t wait to keep growing together. While we’re on pause, be sure to follow me on Instagram for updates on Season Two’s return. And hey, if you missed any episodes or want to revisit your favorites, now’s the perfect time! You'll always discover something new, just like I do every time I listen back.

Thank you for being here and for making Season One so unforgettable.

Hey y'all! In today’s episode of Samantha's Beauty Confessions, we’re delving into something that so many of us struggle with but rarely talk about openly: perfectionism. Trust me, if you’ve ever felt paralyzed by the need for everything to be “just right” before you start a new project or put yourself out there, this one is for you. I’m sharing my own journey from being stuck in perfectionism to finally embracing imperfect action. And here’s the best part—by the end of this episode, you’ll feel inspired to take that first messy step toward your goals, knowing that progress beats perfection every single time.

Perfectionism can feel like an invisible weight, convincing us to stay in our comfort zone, where we feel safe from failure, criticism, and judgment. I get real about how this mindset held me back for years and how it even kept me from launching my Instagram page for way too long. But through some soul-searching—and yes, a hard life lesson during my divorce—I learned that trying to present a flawless image only holds us back. Sometimes, it takes a humbling experience to realize that the perfect image we strive to maintain doesn’t bring real fulfillment. In this episode, I explore the roots of these fears and how I started to let go of them.

We’ll also talk about practical steps to get unstuck. From breaking down overwhelming goals into tiny, manageable actions to reframing our fear of judgment and seeing failure as just another learning experience, I’m giving you the tools I wish I had years ago. Remember, every successful person you look up to once started where you are now—struggling, uncertain, but brave enough to begin anyway. If you’re a beauty professional, content creator, or anyone with big dreams, these lessons are especially for you.

So, if you’ve ever worried about what people will think or let the “not-good-enough” monster stop you from sharing your ideas, this episode will be a game-changer. Let’s learn to give ourselves grace, embrace the journey, and remind ourselves that imperfect action is still action. By the end of our chat, you’ll be ready to take that leap, no matter how imperfect your plan may seem. You deserve to chase your dreams and live a life that feels true to you—without waiting for things to be perfect. So, let’s grow together, one imperfect step at a time!

Hey, y’all! Today, I’m sharing something really personal that shaped my journey in ways I never expected—overcoming my fear of public speaking. If you’re someone who’s ever felt held back by the thought of speaking up or standing in front of a crowd, this one’s for you. In this episode, I speak about how this fear kept me from growth opportunities, limited my self-confidence, and, honestly, stopped me from showing up as the real me. I hope that by hearing my story, you’ll feel inspired to face whatever fear might be holding you back, too.

Starting with high school speech class, I learned pretty early that I struggled with speaking in front of people. Even into college, I found ways to avoid it—enrolling in smaller classes, trying to dodge presentations, and finally just not showing up. My nerves were so bad I’d blank out, and I thought I’d never get past it. Years later, after a big life change, I decided I had to work through this for myself and for anyone else who might feel like I did. That’s when I found a coach to help me, and it was a game-changer.

Pushing through that fear didn’t just help me with public speaking—it unlocked parts of myself I hadn’t been able to share. I finally started connecting with my audience, sharing my face and voice on social media, working with brands, and speaking at events. That confidence was already inside me, and sometimes we just need a little help to uncover it. I hope my journey shows you that facing our fears opens doors to incredible opportunities and helps us grow in ways we never expect. Give it a listen, and I hope it sparks something for you!
