Podcast Episode 5: Faith, Femininity, and the Freedom to Shine | Show Notes

Today I’m sharing a story about beauty, boldness, and how God can plant seeds of purpose in the most unexpected places—even through a little lip gloss.

When I first moved to Texas, newly married and feeling a bit lost, Mary Kay Cosmetics entered my life. What started as skincare and sales quickly turned into something far deeper. At the time, I didn’t realize God was laying the groundwork for my future as a faith-driven entrepreneur and leader.

💄 Key Takeaways from Today’s Episode:

✅ Faith and Business Can Coexist:
Mary Kay wasn’t just about beauty—it was about mission, mentorship, and leading with faith.

✅ True Beauty Begins in the Heart:
God isn’t against outward adornment. As 1 Peter 3:3-4 reminds us, our beauty shouldn’t come from outward things alone. We can honor God both inside and out.

✅ Nothing in Your Story Is Wasted:
Every experience—even those that seem random—can be a step on the path to your calling. God uses ordinary places, people, and moments to reveal extraordinary purpose.

✅ Confidence Doesn’t Equal Vanity:
Taking care of ourselves can be an act of stewardship. It’s okay to love lip gloss and love Jesus.

✅ The Power of Mentorship:
My MK Director believed in me before I fully believed in myself—a reminder that we’re called to lift others as we grow.

“He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion.” — Philippians 1:6

🌟 Reflection Questions:

• Has God ever used an unexpected place or season to plant seeds of purpose in your life?
• Is there a chapter of your past you’ve written off as irrelevant—but that might be part of your calling?
• How can you steward both your inner and outer beauty in a way that honors God?

If you’re looking for encouragement—or just a fabulous new lip gloss—I’m your girl. 😉

Thanks for listening, friend. Remember:

It’s never too late. You’re not too far. And nothing is wasted in God’s hands.
