In this episode, I share the beauty stories that have shaped my career as a licensed esthetician and beauty creator. It’s a journey that began with making skincare products in my kitchen and led me to esthetics school when the time was right. You’ll hear about my first facial on a client who was just diagnosed with cancer — a moment that changed my entire perspective on beauty. Growing up with a beauty shop right in my home also played a huge role in shaping my path. These experiences have all contributed to the passion I have for helping others and building a brand with heart and intention. Whether you're just starting out or you're in the middle of your own journey, I hope you can see pieces of yourself in my story. The more you know the more you glow!

In this deeply personal episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on a strange sequence of events recently—what started as a comprehensive eye exam for elective surgery turned into something much bigger. After a referral doctor visit with a Retina specialist, I was diagnosed with a rare eye condition that could lead to permanent vision loss if not monitored and treated.But it wasn’t just the diagnosis that shook me—it was the timing, the nudges, the unexplainable moments that made me stop and ask: Is it odd… or is it God?Whether you're dealing with your own health challenges, or you've ever wondered about the role of intuition, divine timing, or unexplained "coincidences" in your life—this story might resonate more than you expect.The more you know the more you glow!Jentri

What if one decision—one minute—meant the difference between life and death… and ultimately, your entire existence?In this deeply personal episode, I’m sharing a family story I’ve never told publicly. When my mother was just 16, a split-second decision on a cold, icy night in Louisiana changed the course of both our lives forever.
