In this week’s episode of Navigating Your 20s, I’m bringing you along on a hot girl walk story time; because sometimes the most random moments teach you the biggest lessons.
From finding out I’m allergic to gel nail polish (yes, shellac hates me), to being a lifelong nail biter trying to glow up, to sitting in the salon chair wondering why my hair looked so bad; this episode is equal parts funny, relatable, and painfully real.
We talk:
The time it takes to commit to beauty standards and treatments
How the smallest things (like nails and hair) can impact your confidence, self-image, and identity
The uncomfortable but freeing side of owning your insecurities instead of hiding them (yes I bite my nails, sue me)
Why not every “glow-up” experience feels like one at first (and that’s okay)
Whether you’ve ever left the salon feeling worse than when you went in, or you’re navigating your own messy 20s glow-up, this episode is a reminder that confidence isn’t found in perfect nails or hair ; it’s in backing yourself through the awkward phases.
