What can we expect?

This podcast talks about everything involved within the beauty industry and has a central theme which focuses on happiness. Bringing you some of the best conversations about life experiences on the journey to happiness and fulfilment. From Life purpose through love lessons, career ups and downs, family friends and relationships. This podcast shares them with you and provides practical tips as well as solutions.

“This is, raw, real and upfront,” said Amanda. “We dissect and debunk the beauty myths and get face to face with reality and pierce beneath the veil of the beauty and fashion industries.”

“We’ll be going into places that have rarely had a light shone on them and tell the truth about what happens behind the scenes.” She added: “We also want to empower women and men with a new outlook on beauty through personal development, body acceptance and spiritual balance, we want listeners to take away from the podcasts that they are enough; there are people interested in their stories and will be encouraged by them.”

The “warts-and-all” podcasts will also explore their lives, loves, and fashion experiences. “We’ll be talking everything from fashion to life purpose, to love lessons, career ups and downs, and hard-won industry lessons,” said Amanda.

“Coming from very distinct and different backgrounds, we will be able to add our angles, experiences and advice on life lessons. We hope the podcast becomes a permanent and personal part of the lives of our audience.”
