Have you ever been imitated? Or had your ideas shared by someone else? Have you felt like you’re the first person to blaze the path your on? If so, you are the blueprint and it’s time to embrace it.

In today’s episode, I’m deep diving with host and creator of Naked Beauty, Brooke DeVard, on how we can start creating our own seats at the table (or better yet– make our own tables!)

Together, we discuss navigating double standards, overcoming criticism as content creators, and setting the standard for our lives, one pivot at a time.

We also talk about…
