In this episode, Angelique Valez interviews Julia Dalton-Brush, the conversation is raw and honest sharing deep insights that blew our minds. Julia highlights common experiences that many can relate to, both in our culture and American society. Like the pressure to focus solely on work often overshadows the importance of self-care and personal pursuits. Further Julia brings awareness to: Creating Your Own Timeline: As an indie brand, there may not be a predefined path or support system. However, this allows you the freedom to create your own timeline and shape your brand according to your vision and goals. Embracing Reality and Letting Go of Perfection: Your grandiose vision may not always align with reality, and that's okay. Understanding that your vision is personal, and others will still appreciate and value your work can help you move forward without being hindered by unobtainable expectations. Dealing with Disappointment and Counting Your Blessings: Disappointments and closed doors are inevitable in the entrepreneurial journey. It's essential to maintain perspective and not let setbacks define your self-worth. By focusing on gratitude and realizing that new and better opportunities may come along, you can navigate through disappointments with resilience and optimism. Tune in to this episode for a candid and empowering conversation that encourages self-reflection and growth. Together, let's explore the importance of self-care, finding balance, and the pursuit of happiness. “Sometimes all you can do is good enough. Don't let grandiose ideas that are unobtainable stop you from jumping in and doing what you want to do because you're the only one with that in your head."

Do you aspire to work with celebrity clients? Beyonce?

Her work has been featured in Elle, Vogue (MX), Redbook, Zink, Runners World (cover), Harper's Bazaar, and WWD In this episode: DeShawn sheds some light on how and why she became vocal about the lack of representation of black women's skin in the makeup industry, and how hard it was to find a shade that fitted her skin at the makeup counters. Which led to her passion for making sure she would always make the right color for her client’s skin because EVERY person deserves to be their color!  DeShawn spills the tea on how her book, Assisting Rules, was inspired by her assistant stabbing her in the back! We also learn why this book is so important for make-up assistance in the industry.

Yet she still shares how she learnt so much from that interaction. Tune in and enjoy DeShawn’s entertaining yet real conversation about her experiences on the road to success. ‘I never thought I'd ever be jaded, I would hear horror stories about assistants and how they would game of thrones people and gut down and stuff, and I'm blinded (thinking) no way that would ever happen to me, and it happened to me.’ DeShawn Hatcher, E152, Hey GlowFriend Podcast.  Find DeShawn Hatcher here: https://www.deshawnlovesmakeup.com/3691580-bio Angeliques Links: Official Website: ⁠https://angeliquevelez.com/⁠ Breakups to Makeup: ⁠https://breakupstomakeup.com/⁠  To Join the Club: ⁠https://angeliquevelez.com/coming-in-clutch-club/⁠ To Join the Community:⁠ https://angeliquevelez.com/community⁠ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theangeliquetechnique/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/angeliquevelezmakeup/ Hey Glowfriend: https://www.instagram.com/heyglowfriend/
