Have you ever felt the pull to follow a passion, only to hear that little voice whisper, “I’m too old” or “What if I can’t do it?”
You’re not alone, and this week’s episode is here to remind you that it’s never too late to rewrite your story. I had the absolute joy of sitting down with Francesca Johnson, founder of Makeup by Francesca, whose journey is a testament to grit, grace, and unapologetic confidence.
From her days as a corporate makeup artist in New York City to becoming a thriving solopreneur in the Midwest, Fran’s story is as inspiring as it is relatable. We dive into what it really means to embrace confidence at any age and how Fran has built a career that empowers women to feel beautiful and strong—inside and out. We also talk about the power of authenticity, overcoming imposter syndrome, and why it’s never too late to chase your dreams.
Join us to hear about:
- How Fran transitioned from working with big-name brands to launching her own business.
- Why authenticity is the secret to building a fulfilling career and life.
- Fran’s personal tools for silencing imposter syndrome and showing up boldly.
- The transformative power of makeup and its role in building confidence at any age.
- Practical advice for chasing passions and thriving in non-traditional career paths.
This episode is like a hug and a pep talk rolled into one. Trust me, you’ll walk away feeling empowered and ready to take on the world!
