Episode 90: Redefining Enough with Valerie Lynn

Episode 90: Redefining Enough with Valerie Lynn

What happens when the title you've worked so hard to earn suddenly disappears? In this episode of Lip Service & Lashes, I sit down with Valerie Lynn, producer of the Women on Top podcast, for a candid conversation about career pivots, layoffs, burnout, and the pressure so many women feel to constantly do more. We talk about what it means to separate your identity from your job title, redefine success on your own terms, and find fulfillment beyond the next achievement. Along the way, we dive into entrepreneurship, corporate life, friendship, health, and the realities of navigating life's unexpected detours. Equal parts honest, relatable, and hilarious, this episode is a reminder that your worth was never tied to your title—and that sometimes the biggest plot twists lead to the most meaningful growth.

Episode 88: Delusional Enough to Win

What if the thing you’re most afraid of — being “too much,” too persistent, too bold — is actually the exact thing standing between you and the opportunities you keep praying for? In this solo episode of Lip Service & Lashes, Chelsea Husum shares the behind-the-scenes story of finally meeting Daymond John after years of putting herself out there, hearing no, getting uncomfortable, and refusing to quit. From standing outside a VIP room hoping for one shot at a conversation, to hearing Daymond’s own crazy story about chasing down LL Cool J, this episode is your reminder that the people who change their lives are usually willing to do what other people are too embarrassed to try. Chelsea gets real about rejection, resilience, awkward moments, confidence, and why “creepy persistence” might actually just be relentless belief in yourself. If you’ve ever felt scared to send the email, ask for the opportunity, start the thing, or take up space — this episode is your kick in the ass to stop playing small and go after it anyway.

Episode 87: After the Flames with Paige Killian

What would you do if everything you built disappeared overnight? In this heartfelt episode of Lip Service & Lashes, Chelsea Husum welcomes back the podcast’s very first guest, Paige Killian, for an emotional conversation about surviving the devastating Palisades fires of 2025 that destroyed Paige’s home and community. Paige opens up about evacuating with almost nothing, navigating the emotional aftermath of losing everything, and finding herself rebuilding her life from the ground up while facing PTSD, insurance battles, and even a broken leg just weeks later. Through laughter, tears, and brutally honest moments, Chelsea and Paige talk about resilience, community, and the unexpected growth that can come from life completely falling apart. This episode is a powerful reminder that even in the middle of chaos and heartbreak, there can still be hope, healing, and purpose on the other side. Connect with Paige!
