In this episode, Abby and I chat about what it really looks like to change career paths when the “safe” option just isn’t it anymore. She opens up about going into teaching, realizing it wasn’t for her, and how doing a friend’s wedding basically pulled her straight into bridal makeup.
We also talk about that pressure to have your whole life figured out at 18, and how personality (introvert vs. extrovert) actually plays a big role in this industry. It’s a really honest, down-to-earth conversation about choosing what feels right for you — even if it’s not the traditional path.
