Published Los Angeles Makeup Artist Update!

Happy New Year! This published Los Angeles makeup artist update is from one of the first shoots that I did after I moved to Los Angeles, ironically enough, with a photographer who was one of the first I worked with after I moved to the Bay Area! Right after I moved to Los Angeles, I got a message from Alex, a photographer I worked with quite a bit as a makeup artist when I lived in the Bay Area. He and his incredible wife were coming to LA and wanted to do a photoshoot, and when they searched for area makeup artists, they came across my page and realized that I moved to Los Angeles – they hadn’t even known!

Goal Setting – January & First Quarter 2018!

Something that I’ve seen on other blogs that I’ve loved myself has been an open accountability for goals. In fact, I may have even done it before in the past! Either way, though, what better time than the brand new year (on a Monday!) to do some Goal Setting – January & First Quarter 2018!

Ever Feel Like An Impostor? Where Failure Ends and Hustle Begins!

Ever feel like a failure or an impostor? I have felt like both for a long time, and am trying to be kinder to myself (speaking of, stay tuned to next Monday for the revival of my podcast, and explanation for its hiatus – hint – it involves being kind to myself!), as well as more authentic with my audience! I hope you enjoy this re-examination of feeling like an impostor and looking at where failure ends and hustle begins!

I started this podcast back in September of 2016. At the end of that year, I was very tempted to do a retrospective compilation of my favorite episodes… Only there weren’t very many episodes! I did a roundup of “Business BAs” at the end of 2017, and planned to share this – “Bold Moves Podcast Episode 133: Fabulous Philanthropists!” before the end of 2017 as well, but as you can tell by the date, it did not happen! I hope you find that it’s worth the wait! And what better day for it to come out than one honoring another inspirational world-changer, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr! Here’s Bold Moves Podcast Episode 133: Fabulous Philanthropists!

Bold Moves Podcast Episode 137 Courtney Maiorino

This week’s guest, for Bold Moves Podcast Episode 137 Courtney Maiorino has done some serious, bold moves. Courtney was diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease in 2012 and had no idea how to help herself until she started studying health in college. While she studied lifestyle habits, behavior change, and complementary medicine modalities, she used herself as an “experiment” to see if these techniques would actually work on a “sick” person. After her passion for wellness only grew, Courtney became a Certified Holistic Health Coach in 2015 (through the Institute for Integrative Nutrition) and began a health coaching practice (with her twin sister who also lives with a chronic illness) so they can be there to guide patients towards love, healing and a world where they can thrive. The bold moves Courtney has made gave her the passion, determination and unwavering focus to make a huge positive impact on the world and help so many people live in harmony with their diseases and live their lives to the fullest potential. Please enjoy Bold Moves Podcast Episode 137 Courtney Maiorino.
