Lessons from San Diego: Purpose, People & Preparing for Mrs. Arizona

This past weekend in San Diego was more than a getaway — it was a reminder, a reset, and a beautiful reflection of the journey I’m on.

Here are a few takeaways I felt deeply:

🔹 You’re never too late.

So often we feel behind, like we missed our window — but that’s just noise. You’re right where you need to be. Every step, even the slow ones, are steps forward.

🔹 Motivation comes in so many forms.

Sometimes it’s in the energy of a room, a deep conversation, a hug from someone you haven’t seen in years, or watching someone else win. It’s all fuel.

🔹 “The humble don’t stumble.”

My personal motto continues to hold true. Staying grounded has brought more clarity, alignment, and genuine connection than anything else.

🔹 Conferences and networking events fuel me.

These gatherings aren’t just about learning or marketing. They remind me of my purpose: to make a difference. My goal is always to walk away having impacted at least one artist — whether through advice, encouragement, or just listening.

🔹 Connections are everything.

From catching up with childhood friends, to embracing lash community peers, to being with family — it reminded me how important relationships are. They’re the backbone of this journey.

🔹 Now it’s full steam ahead to Mrs. Arizona on the 22nd!

This experience is more than a crown — it’s a platform.

And that brings me to my WHY:

To empower women.

To empower entrepreneurs.

To empower minorities.

To show that no matter where you come from or what you’re up against, you’re capable of building the life you dream about.

This weekend, I was reminded that I’m not just chasing success — I’m building legacy.

Thanks, San Diego. 💛
