It is not glamorous.
Not even a little bit.
You know, people are naked or half naked,
they're eating, you're on your,
like sometimes I'm on my knees doing makeup,
you know, or pulling here this way,
but oh so freaking good.
The intensity of it all is just magnanimous.
I get my energy from the sun.
The sun are people to me.
You know, I'm not the kind of person
that I want to sit in a room by myself.
People make me extraordinarily happy.
they bring me true, true joy. And I always hope and pray that when I'm around them, they feel that.
You're listening to More Style, a podcast to help you transform your image and transform your
influence. What do the Tony Awards, Vogue magazine, and Bob Iger all have in common? If you don't know,
he's the president of Disney. Well, that is Danielle Waugh, the queen of makeup artists,
the celebrity makeup artist she's going to talk to us today about what it means to work in the
industry how she got there and what it means if you are thinking about being a makeup artist in
this world so i can't wait to dive into what she has to say today welcome danielle i'm like who is
she talking about it feels so surreal thanks for having me celeste i'm excited to be here i'm so
excited to have you on the show finally i know so miss danielle she has done my hair and makeup for
today because uh you know she truly is gifted and when i tell you we met through a friend um
and that's usually how a lot of my guests come on my show i either met them at a mastermind or
through a friend uh and i don't even think she knew you too well but no i we're definitely closer
than she and i were you and her are um so we've kind of pushed her out and now we're together
and we're married and that's it we're just in love at this point but it's been a great time
meeting you and even glamming you today for this just i feel like we're in sync completely forever
definitely yeah she has gotten me ready for the two my last two new york fashion weeks and that's
always been super fun and exciting but always exciting i know i want so i've written a few
questions because i feel that some of the audience is really curious to get to know you
i want them to get to know you on a level that i do so got you um you've worked with some of the
most powerful names across politics art and broadway so what's one thing that every high
profile client has in common when they sit in your chair i would say the vulnerability to show
their insecurities. I think that we place these people on this pedestal, thinking that they feel,
I guess, maybe better than, or like they operate on some higher level or playing field than we do.
And at the end of the day, they're just human beings. They bleed like we do. So I feel when
they're in my chair with me, and this is why it's always paramount for me to make sure that they
feel comfortable, because they do let their guard down. At the end of the day, I'm in their crown,
You know, I'm in their space completely.
So I'm allowed to see their insecurities and vulnerabilities.
And that is consistent across the board with everybody.
I love that you said that because me just going into the celebrity world also, right?
You just have to, they're humans.
They're just like us.
They have insecurities like us.
And like you said, they are vulnerable because you're in their most vulnerable place.
It's like their face and their hair.
Correct, correct, correct.
And I feel like that relationship has to be honored, has to be coveted.
You know, it's very sacred to have someone in such that intimate place with you.
You know, it's a lot of trust there.
So I really, really honor the space that I share with them and feel blessed that they feel comfortable to even have that space with me.
Yeah, that's so great.
And I'm glad that you mentioned that because it truly is just we're people and we all want to feel beautiful.
Exactly.
We all want to feel that.
Yeah, it's just one of those things, you know.
So I always say people always ask a lot of questions about celebrities.
But like I said, that's the common thread.
That thing where we all have this thing about us, you know.
And it could be the smallest thing that nobody sees but us.
And it could be something that was planted when we were kids or from parents, whatever it is.
But we all walk around with something.
And I think it's always helpful to have people in your circle, your cipher.
that helps to kind of change that narrative that one thing that you see bad about yourself
or as a negative to try to twist it into a positive you know so yeah I love that yeah I um
this next question I want to get to know you a little bit dig in dig tell me your story what was
the moment you realized beauty was more than just makeup it was really your mission I guess it's
twofold for me so I got into the beauty industry because of my insecurity um somebody made me bald
so um when I was I know I know trust no one but me obviously um but when I was younger I was going
to junior prom and from a Caribbean household anything that was too embracing of your femininity
whether that means it's you know certain colors or dresses or hair styles or heels it just seemed
too adult so I was going to my junior prom and the only thing I was allowed to get done was get my
eyebrows done and at the time the only place that we knew where that service was provided was the
nail salon they would do your wax in the back yeah so I was so excited you know like I couldn't get
everything but I got this one thing so it made me feel really grown and I get to the back and I
you know lay on the table and she's half speaking in English half speaking and I don't know what
language and I'm like yeah yeah yeah you know just excited to be there and she does the wax and
everything is fine and I go to junior prom feeling like the belle of the ball feeling really cute
really cutesy and I notice now I am approaching a month before high school and my brow hair is
not growing back and it turns out that the wax that she used was too hot so it burned my hair
follicles but as a young girl you always hear beauty is pain you know and I was sitting there
thinking that it's supposed to feel that way that's probably what you know adult women are
feeling and I'm just young I'm just not used to it or expectant of it but it burned my hair
follicles and it never grew back so here I was going into high school and all the girls had
these nice full brows and I had none and at the time black brows were a thing so I'd borrow my
mother's black pencil and just kind of fill my brows in gently and there and started the monster
where I realized you had the ability to again with the insecurity tweak something with the
purchase of something because you would never think that um just buying something to tweak a
look could change how you felt but I felt like I was armored for like the grittiness that came
with going into high school and the visibility of being a teenage girl but it made me feel really
good and that's when I realized uh-huh I'm on to something but to I think get to the further point
of me getting into this part of what has become my career that came many many many years later
from a Caribbean household this was not allowed this is shameful this is a no-no what I'm doing
why is that because I feel like immigrant parents they struggle so much to get you here
it's a sacrifice it's not easy to come here and build a family so the idea is that you are the
generation that's gonna carry the family name forward you know the the weight of the I don't
want to say the world but the weight of the legacy is on you so you have to be better and the children
you have have to be better and so forth and so on I think every family has that vision but I think
it's even stronger when it comes to non-American families you know there's a lot of things that I
feel American families have that other people from different countries don't have so when you when
you're here it's like you better make something of yourself we don't have time to play okay you
know we're not wasting time we're not wasting money we're not wasting energy this is a purpose
and you have to fulfill it so even the idea of being in the industry which i had no idea of the
magnitude of what this could be not even a little bit um it was a no it was a no um so i wanted to
be matlock i tell people that all the time i was like i'm gonna be the first black female matlock
um that's gonna be me um I love a good argument oh I love a good argument I will argue you down
to the ground and when you're down there stomp on you with another argument because I'm right
I'm right oh my god so I he was the first person I saw that was always able to solve a case no
matter what and I was just fascinated by it and to watch him play around the courtroom and just
kind of have those aha moments with people like i gotcha i gotcha so fascinated and um so i started
my journey and i went to school and i was being a lawyer and all that whole thing and i remember
talking to my professor and she said why do you want to be a lawyer so bad i said again love to
argue it down i want to plead a case i know i'm right she said well you know danielle a lot of
cases don't happen in the courtroom i said what you mean what you what you're talking about and
she says it just doesn't like that's an extreme version of it but a lot of cases are litigated
it's a lot of library work it's a lot of black and white you know a lot of negotiations before
you get to that point i was surprised and heartbroken and just like what the f now
you know but still this hadn't come to me again till years and years and years later okay now
you're leaving me on the hook here i'm leaving you on the hook well well i'll wait for the next
question and then I'm going to circle it back to this. All right. I'll do that. Okay. So here are
a couple of questions like for the audience here. What are three common mistakes people make on
camera makeup, like with their makeup and how can they fix it to look more polished and confident
on video? Because I think a lot of my audience are entrepreneurs and speakers, right? So they're
in front of the camera yeah and they don't always have a makeup artist on hand right um
I think thinking that a look is a one-size-fits-all right I think when we look at someone we say oh
my god I like his or her look what you're really picking up on is their energy you know you style
people two people can be wearing the same exact outfit and one wears it much better not necessarily
because of body type it's something that they bring out of it yes there's colors and and patterns
and even the way something is tailored that completely enhances the look and helps it but
at the same time some people just got it some people don't so I say someone will look at someone
and say hey I want to look like x y and z and they go in front of the camera and they'll replicate a
look that they saw in someone else that is completely not for them you have to be open
to finding your look and and going into what's true to you so even though you may see something
looks great on someone else it just may not look great on you um like right now we are thankfully
coming out of this horrible overly lash trend where it's like clawing out of your eyeballs
horrible nobody's interested in that but um people will see that and think oh my god that's trendy i
want to do it so i feel like following trends all the time it's not good you want to stay in a
classic beauty space where your look travels throughout time with you it evolves with you
um someone shouldn't be able to see you and stamp you in the 90s early 2000s 50s whatever it is
so i feel you know staying true to your look finding your defined look not staying or sticking
on a trend and i think having fun with it you know trying new things um and then i guess to
trying new things is finding an artist that can help cater to your look and your feeling what
you're going for you know um so that when you're seeing yourself on camera it it resonates because
sometimes what we envision ourselves as is not what we're portraying you know so i feel like
if there's something coming along where you know you're going to be photographed or recorded take
the time to maybe take your iphone out and just see what you look like you know record yourself
Get familiar with it so that when you're there, it's not like, well, I don't like X, Y, and Z.
I didn't expect it to come out this way.
You know, take those steps.
I think it makes a world of a difference.
Yeah.
Thank you for that.
Well, for me, I don't know how to put on makeup that translates to camera.
So I'm getting better just because I keep having experiences from you and a few others around the world that I've been doing.
i've been with my recordings but there is an art to having your makeup translate to camera because
it is different one the lights yes diminish color correct so you've got to do it heavier which has
always been a challenge for me yes that's true and then there's also that perception of when i'm
looking in the mirror maybe it's the contour maybe it's the the shadows that you see versus
not the shadows that I see you know yeah yeah I would definitely say in that case like you know
to go into lighting how someone would light you versus how they would light me is very different
yeah you know so having someone that speaks that color theory language when it comes to
lighting you is paramount if you can get that um I think since um we've gotten to a place where
technology has advanced quite a bit uh sometimes less is more because when you do too much
foundation or powder it can become very heavy and cakey and i feel settle into fine lines and
becomes more visible so what you're trying to actually mask becomes enhanced you know um so i
feel in in those ways um and again taking a look at yourself in in your just your iphone your
android whatever you have yeah you know in natural light which is the best sunlight um in your
bathroom just different lighting and kind of seeing what that looks like and getting adjusted
to what works for you knowing your colors you know the first step is just knowing your foundation
color you know not piling it on and even before we get to that i always say the best canvas is
your canvas so take care of it before you even think about getting into makeup one of the big
mistakes i um often i wouldn't say mistakes but one of the encounters i often have is someone
saying oh my god i have this texture and that going on i'm like girl i can't do nothing for you
you gotta pray to the lord for that um you always want to make sure that you're maintaining your
canvas it goes a long way so that when i am putting something on it's just like butter yeah
you know but maintaining your canvas finding the perfect foundation we are quite a few colors
throughout the year you know we're lighter in the winter time we're a little bit warmer in the
summertime so i like to always mix i'm a mixologist i do like a mixed drink too but i
I definitely like to mix because I feel like there is such a rare occasion where you're able to find one shade that matches you completely.
You know, we're a little bit lighter in the center of our face and a little bit warmer around the perimeter.
You know, so mixing to find your perfect shade works.
And then again, even though we're lighter in the winter and a little bit warmer in the summertime, even in the spring, we're not completely, you know, darker yet.
And even in the fall, we're not completely lighter yet.
So, again, I feel like mixing shades to kind of have that maybe even four season color for yourself works.
And then also I feel like there's people who like to see themselves a little bit lighter or warmer on camera, you know, knowing if you feel maybe washed out, then bronze yourself up.
You know, if you feel like maybe you're reading a little bit too, too dark or bringing out accentuating too many of the darker features, warmer features in your face, lighten it up.
you know but that's again knowing your canvas again working with an expert yes to figure some
things out but i feel like even with that if you're really trying to garner your image investing in
that time and that patience and the products will help you a long way agreed and i think a great
foundation is key yes taking care of your skin eating healthy drinking enough water don't drink
before you have a photo shoot i made this mistake i was styling yeah a couple celebrities and it was
a big deal yeah goes to last except thank you except for the fact i had a couple drinks the
night before because i was celebrating i was so excited and then i was like oh damn my face was
swollen oh no so just make sure to like be response drink responsibly you can drink just
wait till after well you know the funny thing too is that a lot of celebrities drink before they get
on a red carpet they have to get very nervous too they get very nervous so there is there's
drinking there's a little puff there's a lot of stuff going on behind the scenes just so that
they can feel in their skin because I feel like once they hit that red carpet when the doors open
from their car service and they're out there it's like another being so something to kind of help
them feel grounded so they're not like in this frenzy of the moment is always helpful so don't
overdo it don't overdo it but a little something to take the edge off for whoever is into that kind
of thing seems to have gone a long way for many i love it great advice yeah so tell me what's it
really like to get someone ready for the tony awards or vogue magazine so red carpet award
shows are very different um you have multiple people in whatever situation so whether it's
someone's home or a hotel room or a hall you know there's this canvas almost sitting there
and i always wonder i always ask like how do you feel because someone's pulling at you here
someone's pushing at your face someone's tugging at your waistline and someone's talking to you
about the lay of the land for the day and someone's it's just like just a lot going on
It is not glamorous. Not even a little bit. People are naked or half naked. They're eating. Sometimes I'm on my knees doing makeup or pulling here this way. It is not what you think it is, which I love because it's smoke and mirrors so that when the person is finally ready, you would never be the wiser as to what's happening behind the scenes.
but it is very high energy very high stress um but it's worth it and it's also like a lot of
prep leading up to it we don't just kind of walk in and say we're going to do this look
um if the celebrity knows the event that they're going to which they usually do unless something
happens last minute and they get invited there's weeks of prep like color coordinating what they
want to do the the color that they want to show up in um the the type of styling that they want
to do what image they want to show up and then coordinating that with the actual event whether
it's an award show or if they're actually even presenting like there's so many layers to it
before you even get to that point but it's pure chaos pure madness but oh so freaking good oh so
I wouldn't have it any other way like this the I don't know the intensity of it all is just
magnanimous I think there's a few though few makeup artists and hairdressers even stylists
that can deal with that type of energy that's actually very correct it is very very high strong
you almost have to like to say see and not see here and not here feel and not feel
you're almost going in conscious but very numb you know very numb and also uh leaving your ego
at the door because there's moments where you may have discussed the style you know three or
four weeks before and several times in between that leading up to the date and you get there
and you do it and the person's like I don't like it and you're like but you said you know
you're like okay exactly we'll make the changes okay what don't you what don't you like about it
this time what's happening um and again that's where you check the ego at the door it's not
about you it's about this person and their image and you better you better get it right or you
won't get called again you know um so and that's a that's a heavy weight to carry but um it's it's
it's it's intense and it's not for the faint of heart i've seen many artists because we're artists
and they say we're sensitive about our ish um as erica badu would say you know but can't do it
it's about them and how they feel so if you have to rewind and come again 10 times do it do it and
it only makes you stronger i feel it um enhances um and and and masterfully creates and enhances
your artistry you know i would imagine it it also you develop people's skills at a level that you
probably would never have just working with you know a typical person going to maybe you know
like a bride or yeah because they're like okay you're gonna do magic and i trust you and you're
like yes i called god on the hotline today and he said i got your sister girl it's a lot and i feel
like some people are naturally born to cater to people you know to to serve um and others aren't
and in some regards it can be taught and in some regards it isn't because i feel if it's if you're
not consistently in the business or the natural nature of serving this is not going to be for you
yeah this is not going to be for you because it's really all about making sure the person
feels seen and that they're in their own skin you know so it's again you're here and you're not here
I tell my clients like I'm here and I'm not here like even like with you like can I get you anything
I'm like girl I'm here and I'm not here and you're like no but you are here I'm like yeah but it's
like I'm supposed to almost appear and disappear well you and I are the same yes we really are we
are pleasers we do cater to very much high-end clients and so it just naturally comes to me so
you're in my space I'm gonna do the same you're my guest we can't help it you're still my guest
you can't help it yeah it is what it is that's just who we are like you said you know and I feel
like that's what separates you know the the prey from the um i guess the alternative word which i
can't even think of right now um but yes there we go thanks girl you're welcome that's exactly what
it is because just everybody can't handle it it is very intense you know it is very intense so i
feel like if you are naturally equipped with this very small but major thing it just makes this
experience in our world much easier yeah hands down and then you get to see the finished product
and that as an artist stylist makeup just artists in general a creative person same with me it's
like the end product you're like oh like heaven gorgeous i love it so much because you're like
wow you ever get that feeling you feel like you surprised yourself with what you did yes
you know just all the time oh my god how did i doubt myself so much i know you more than did
that more than did that to the point where people just like oh you know so-and-so's look i really
love that you know and then you'll get highlighted here and there it's like wow when other people
start especially i feel like when your peers acknowledge like wow you're really doing it it
feels different it does it feels different um because i feel like there's many times as i'm
because i feel like as long as i'm alive and provided the opportunities i want to take
advantage of it to continue to grow um so when i'm in a space where my peers are like wow you did
that i'm like i did i really did and it's not like wow i did that it's like i did because sometimes
i surprised myself and i feel like that's the gift of maybe a little naivete that i still have
about like there's always more there's always more that can be done there's always shifts that
can happen there's so much um more that you can grow and create you know and i love that
evolution of what it can be which is beauty yeah you know always evolving and i love what you say
that confidence really comes with how beautiful you feel yeah hands down and i know that's a lot
of in her beauty yes a lot of your mission and your values as a business correct so let that
really leads me into the next question is your company in her beauty serves all genders yeah
all ages and cultures how do you redefine beauty standards in such a diverse and often exclusive
industry that's a really good question Celeste um I feel like I'm almost like a fly on the wall
sometimes peering in at at behind the curtains of what's going on with people again I think to
go back to my point before about being in your own skin and knowing what beauty is for you like
what that means to you and not trying to make it a one-size-fits-all I think is the first step
um when I'm with people I'm naturally a people person if you guys haven't realized Celeste knows
we're the same kind of energy so I feel like this is just a gift on top of a gift um I feel very
blessed to live in my two passions which I always say is making people feel good you know and making
them look good I cannot believe I've been able to find that synergy and make it a career um it is a
blessing. It is a blessing. I get my energy from the sun. The sun are people to me. You know, I'm
not the kind of person that I want to sit in the room by myself. People make me extraordinarily
happy. They bring me true, true joy. And I always hope and pray that when I'm around them, they feel
that a little bit of my light catches on to them. I want them to always feel much better when I'm
around them and when I've left them than as if I'd never come in at all so I feel like that's a
space that I'm able to tap into and it has created a plethora of opportunities and I think just
simply being me and my mom and my dad raised me with that but I didn't know how important it was
until I was fully in my skin which came I feel like in my 20s where it's like simply being you
is more than enough and it has carved out so many opportunities and has created space for
the type of client that is more like me I don't have a lot of drama crazy filled clients who are
ridiculous or mean-spirited or um no because and I'm also not interested you know just not and then
if I walk in the room and they have that energy I'm just like hey and they're like almost a little
tweaked out like why are you so nice I'm like because I am why are you so mean you know but I
feel like I always want my energy to to latch on to them and I'll take a little bit of your heavy
stuff I'll walk out with that and I'll be able to leave it out you know outside but it's important
to me that you feel like the best version of yourself when I'm around so that you now are
armored for whatever's coming your way so I feel like that's been my thing in this space
it's your superpower it is my superpower i just like wow yeah you know i felt that the first time
i met you because i was same same i was just so excited to go to you know a fashion week that was
so major it was my second one but i also had three clients with me i remember yeah it was such a big
deal and i was so excited and uh you just came in and you were just like you helped me just like
kind of relax i mean of course you made me feel beautiful but your energy is just it's contagious
it's also calming it um you truly have a gift and i appreciate that what you know i just saw
i was like this this person is super this person is your person yeah because i mean it's just makeup
right and there are 50 million of me so to an extent I am replaceable right um that's why I
think it's more important for me to stay true to who I am I may not be the best artist in the world
you know but I'm not the worst um I feel like as long as I'm continuing to be true to who I am
making sure that everybody that comes into contact with me feels that light it empowers me to
become better and stronger and greater at what i do which means every time i get to see that canvas
which also provides me the opportunity to see the canvas again yeah i'm mastering it every time
i'm getting better and better so as long as people give me the opportunity to see them again
and paint on their canvas the better it become yeah stick with me i'm gonna stick with you i love
that okay here's a question yeah what's one beauty myth you wish would disappear and what's
a truth people should know um a beauty myth I wish would disappear hmm I gotta think about that
what's the myth going on these days um I think we're in a space now people aren't really into
contouring you know um or what would I say oh I would say a myth let me start this over
a myth i feel is just crazy which i touched a little bit earlier is that makeup can hide
every and anything it cannot it cannot it can sculpt a little something but it's not the end
all be all you know so like i said i have canvases that come into my space and like oh you know can
you chisel this away can you move no no i'm here for a moment not not forever i'm not god this
right i'm not i'm close to him you know but no this right that but this started like years or
months before i met you you gotta you gotta do the work you know so like making sure your canvas
is as pure as it can possibly be that's drinking your water exercising taking your vitamins and
just taking a moment to literally exhale sometimes you know um because the canvas is what makes
everything great not not the makeup makeup is cool it's fantastic but making sure your canvas
is great is a thing um so that's one thing I wish kind of would go away that makeup just cures
everything um and then the second question I forgot the second part of the question well you
you already answered it it's like really what's the truth people should know and you basically
covered that all um I would like to put in a beauty myth but this comes from me as a color
expert so a lot of people assume that everyone should wear bronzer wear versus a contour so
contour is cool bronzer is really warm so if you wear a bronzer and you're a cool undertone you
should be wearing very minimal i say contour over bronzer because for me bronzer 100 because i'm a
warm undertone yeah but someone and you see this often they put a ton of bronzer they are cool and
they look sick ridiculous they look sick ashy mashy yeah there's there's so many things that
happen it's like if they're wearing warm and they're cool that makes them look more orange
so they look almost like this jaundice yeah correct right and so and there's one other
beauty myth there is no there is warm cool and neutral color foundations yes but there is no
neutral undertone and so when you're looking for foundation so i i wear a neutral foundation
because even though I pull warm, I also have cool elements.
Correct, you do.
That's why I'm always, you see what I'm saying?
I love a mix.
Yeah.
Because I feel like, I mean, there's companies that have various options
for cool, neutral, warm, but I still feel like it's just not, boop.
You're right.
It always needs a little something to completely match up.
So you always see me on the back of my hand, like, rolling something around
because I want it to be perfect for you.
Right.
And that bottle that they may have, that they say may fit, that they may be tested, I don't know, 50 women or men on or whatever.
It's still not you.
So it has to be a signature color.
And that means mixing.
Wouldn't that be great if we could go, this is a great business idea.
I know.
I've been thinking about it.
Someone told me it was a poor idea.
We'll see.
It's a fabulous idea.
I would go in with you and do this where everybody could go at quality foundation.
yes you could go mix and match like maybe every season or at least twice a year twice a year and
like make your own yeah uh-huh but honestly like people told me no like a sidebar out of this like
people said that's crazy no one's going to do that i'm like what are you talking about
i feel like if you can create your custom shade you'd be interested no it's too much work
i'm telling you i thought about this so many times alice we'll talk about it okay but i think
the really the the last question I'd love to touch upon is just for people watching today
um if they're dreaming of becoming you know a makeup artist an artist maybe someone in their
family said no it's not okay you need to be a doctor or lawyer like what are some of the tips
and advice that you would get like no fluff advice like that you would tell them here because
Maybe they're like, I've always wanted to do that.
I've always wanted to be an artist without feeling shamed.
Well, I'm going to say for me, it started with my mother when I told her that I was going to do this.
And I mean, she was not happy to say that.
Nobody was happy because I left a really great.
Nobody was happy.
Everybody was like, are you OK?
Are you on drugs?
um it was nobody got it but the message was very clear for me um but my mother said to me at the
time listen I'm not saying that you're not going to succeed with this that you won't do well
but do it while your dad and I are around do it while we're here that way should anything happen
not that we want it to you won't fall we'll be here you know beautiful it is extremely beautiful
it gave me license to really go forth and do it um and even if she didn't say that which was
such gold for me at the time the message was for me it wasn't for anybody else you know it was
so resonating a sound tuned for only my ears tuned for my spirit it was so freaking crystal
clear I couldn't let it go so I think listening to your voice and then also I think what we do
because it's so pretty people think it's easy work it's not so to that I say to thine own self
be true if you know you don't necessarily have the tenacity you're not really a go-getter you're
not gonna you're not willing to give up the drinking or the partying or the long nights or
you're not willing to study something sit down sit down you have to really know yourself because
it's going to take a lot of commitment this kind of job that we're doing is isolation
you're away from the people that you love the things that you love because you're on a bigger
mission a bigger path and you have to understand that mind body and soul because it's going to
take your mind body and soul to get you through it so you really have to be in that space where
you hear that perfectly tuned message for you and you feel it and you walk by faith and not by sight
that's so beautiful yeah thank you for being on the show today it's been such a pleasure getting
to know you more and where you've come from and where you're at and your soul is gorgeous and
takes one to know one i love you i love you thank you thanks for having me you're welcome
