EP 78: Battling Burnout And Mental Health Tips With The Head Biddy Rachel

Hello Biddies and welcome to the Season 3 finale of the podcast and we are switching things up a bit by publishing one of my Patreon solo bonus episodes publicly as my gift to you for the holiday season!  I'm tackling a very important topic that I feel affects a lot of people, especially those in the creative field, burnout.  I published this episode on the Patreon back in September when I was coming off a very serious battle with burnout and medical fatigue, and I wanted to share some of the things that helped get me through it.  I'm also offering an extended intro with some more context into my current mental health state in hopes that those also going through something know that they're not alone and that we're in this together.  So for my patrons who have already listened to this episode, you will also have some new updates on what's been going on with me. I hope you all enjoy this episode and I cannot wait to catch up with you again on season 4 airing in spring 2023!

EP 75: Victoria Foster on Esthetician School Stories, Skincare Pro Tips, And Avoiding Internet Trolls

I'm chilling with one of my favorite Biddies on today's episode, Pro MUA and Esthetician, Victoria Foster!  Victoria and I are chatting about her time in esthetician school and how she works her business alongside being a professional freelance makeup artist in LA.  She and I also are doing a deep analysis on internet trolls in our comment sections, griping on celebrity skincare lines and of course, why you shouldn't use milk of magnesia as a primer.  Make sure to listen to this one somewhere you can laugh out loud without care, don't say I didn't warn you! Special thanks to our guest, Victoria Foster IG/TikTok @victoria_foster_beauty About Our Guest:  Victoria is an LA MUA & Esthi who started her journey as a professional in the beauty industry after deciding that she hated her job in the military and corporate America.
