So I made my first million dollars - easy, right?

Can you hear me laughing through your screen? No - there was nothing easy about reaching this million-dollar milestone. I struggled a lot in my career as a microblader and permanent makeup artist and learned a lot. I'm still learning things. You never really stop, you know? We will always make mistakes but it's the fact that we LEARN from these mistakes that really makes the difference.

This is part one of the 10 mistakes I made - so once you're done with this episode you can go on to the next! Now let's talk about the first 5 mistakes I made while making my first million dollars in the beauty industry.

ARE YOU READY TO STOP HATING YOURSELF FOR LIVING IN THE BODY YOU WERE GIVEN AND START LIVING YOUR BEST LIFE?

Ladies, we are spending WAY too much time getting down on ourselves, critiquing ourselves, and letting fear keep us from really getting out there and reaching our goals. Just imagine, for a second, if you could erase every second of self-judgment and self-hate from your past. Imagine every second you looked at yourself in the mirror and thought "no I can't wear this" or "no I can't do what I want looking like this," "no they wouldn't hire someone like me," "they won't listen to me if I look like this," "I wish I was different" just vanished from your past. Now imagine how much time you would actually be left with to DO all of the things you stopped yourself from doing.

Do you see? We stop ourselves from succeeding all the time. We have everything in us to get what we want but we have all gotten so used to beating ourselves up and crumbling under...

At 36 years old my husband had a stroke.

Just one week ago we were celebrating my husband's 36th birthday with all of our friends. Now, we're in the hospital after he had a stroke.

He's doing better now, but let this be a testament how things can take a turn at any second without a moment's notice. From what we knew about strokes and the people who suffer them, we never thought in a million years that my husband would experience one. He's young, he's healthy, he's active. But life often throws things at us that we're not expecting. You can never really plan for everything in life, as much as we try.

We both learned a lot from this experience about perseverance, preparedness, strength, and true family. So we decided to record this episode while still in the hospital to give you the real and raw truths that we learned from my husband's stroke at 36 years old. It's time for you to finally meet my husband, Will Reusch.

Did you know that the mindset of achieving your fitness goals and the mindset of achieving your business goals go hand in hand?

I know, my mind was blown when I realized it too. But fitness and business are not dissimilar. In fact, they take the same levels of determination and discipline.
