You started in beauty because you loved it — the creativity, the clients, the transformations, the buzz. But somewhere between the back-to-back appointments, the DMs, the perfection pressure, and the comparison trap… the joy got quieter. And the pressure got louder.

In this episode, Jamie & Harriet dive into the moment your passion starts to feel like a problem — and what to do when the thing you once adored is now draining you. From burnout red flags, client pressure, social-media-fuelled expectations, and that guilt of “I should love this more”… we’re unpacking the very real emotional load behind working in beauty.

Most importantly, we’re talking about how to get your spark back.
How to reconnect with your why.
How to evolve with your career instead of being crushed by it.
And how to fall back in love with your craft — without losing your mind or your magic.

If you’ve ever felt burnt out, overwhelmed, or guilty for not loving your job every second — this one’s for you. The industry needs you happy, not just busy. ❤️
