A 7-minute Brazilian isn’t about rushing — it’s the sequence, the timing, the flow that turns a 45-minute service into 7. 🌞🍯

I’m pulling back the curtain on exactly how we do it at Sugared Beauty Bar — live, free, and hands-on.

Master the 7-Minute Brazilian — our second free live training, where I’m demoing my exact method that actually changes your results (and your client’s experience).

I’m also joined by Tiffany Mattis-Pabifio (@ellaqua_) and Angelica AW Williams (@angelicaawwilliams) for real talk on mentorship and knowing your numbers.

📅 Tuesday, October 20 @ 7PM

5.5 years ago, i unlocked the doors to sugared beauty bar.

but this story didn’t begin there.

it began with a 15-year-old girl looking for somewhere she belonged.

if you’ve followed me for a while, you probably know pieces of my story. the modeling. the backpacking. the one-way ticket to new york. the guest bedroom business. the yellow doors.

but i’ve never shared how all of those chapters connect.

this carousel isn’t about celebrating a business.

it’s about celebrating every version of myself that refused to give up before this life existed.

the little girl who learned how to survive.

the young woman who chased freedom around the world.

the entrepreneur who kept starting over.

the wife who found a safe place to land.

the mother who finally understood that healing doesn’t end with us—it becomes something we pass on.

if there’s one thing i’ve learned, it’s this:

your life doesn’t change because you have one big breakthrough.

it changes because you’re willing to reinvent yourself over and over again.

thank you for being part of this chapter.

whether you’ve been here since day one or just found me yesterday, you’ve become part of a story that’s still being written.

here’s to becoming.

here’s to beginning again.

here’s to building a life that feels like home. 💛

if one slide speaks to you, tell me which one. i’d love to know what part of the journey found you today. taken in Toronto, Ontario by @feelingforserenity

Stop sleeping on your local Staples 👀

I’ve been awarded a partnership with my local @staples TWICE — and it’s put my business in front of thousands of people every single month at zero cost to me.

The marketing materials alone would have cost me over $1,000.

Your local stores WANT to support local businesses. You just have to ask.

Who’s walking into their Staples this week? ❤️

Save this + share it with a business owner who needs to hear this 💛. Comment STAPLES for email template and my exact marketing campaigns I use in rotation.

a lot of people found me over the last 24 hours, but this is the part of my story i hope you stay for.

i didn’t grow up dreaming about success for the title, the money, or the applause.

i dreamed about safety.
consistency.
peace.
a home that felt soft.
a family that didn’t require survival mode.

and now, somehow, i get to help create that for her.

every risk i take, every long day, every uncomfortable season, every time i choose to keep going—it all comes back to this little life we’re building together.

grace gets to grow up surrounded by love, adventure, stability, and parents who are committed to becoming better along the way.

i may not be able to rewrite the beginning of my story, but i get to be intentional about hers.

she gets the childhood i always wanted.

and healing enough to give her that has become one of the greatest privileges of my life.

that’s my why. 🌞 taken in Long Island, NY by @feelingforserenity

i spent more than a decade naked in front of strangers, and ironically, it taught me to stop seeing my body as something that needed to be constantly sexualized, corrected or approved.

nudity and sexuality are not the same thing.
confidence is not consent.
and modesty is not the price women should have to pay for respect.

i’ve been celebrated for things women are normally taught to “fix”—including the same body hair i eventually built an entire business removing. 😂

that irony isn’t lost on me.

now that i’m raising a daughter, i think about these things differently.

i don’t want her standing in front of a mirror cataloguing everything society told her was wrong. the hair. the stretch marks. the softness. the wrinkles that will eventually come.

i want her too busy living inside her body to spend her life watching it from the outside.

my pre-baby body was beautiful.
my postpartum body is beautiful.
my aging body will be beautiful.

none of them need to compete.

maybe the biggest thing nude modeling taught me is that bodies were never meant to fit one standard anyway.

and that’s definitely a hill i’ll die on.

the brazilian is done and we’re still mid conversation 😭🍯

that’s the whole point of the 7-minute brazilian. not rushing — just a sequence so clean you can talk, laugh, and still be done in 7.

i’m teaching the full method live, start to finish, during my free training on tuesday october 20 at 7pm est — plus @ellaqua_ on mentorship and @angelicaawwilliams on knowing your numbers.

registration link is in my bio or comment SUGARED for details. save your spot 💛

almost two and a half years.

that’s how long it took for my daughter to meet my dad.

the last time i tried to visit him grace was four months old, i stood outside his door for over an hour. i knocked. i waited. and eventually, i left. sobbing uncontrollably because i can’t imagine a world where i would ever do this to my own kid.

addiction has taken a lot from my father. and in many ways, it’s taken a lot from me too.

being the daughter of someone struggling with addiction means learning to grieve someone who is still alive. it means loving someone you cannot save. it means accepting that sometimes love isn’t enough to make someone open the door.

but this time, he did.

and for the first time in her life, my daughter met her grandfather.

i don’t know what their relationship will look like. i don’t know how many more moments like this we’ll get. and i’ve learned not to build expectations around someone else’s recovery.

but i do know that for a moment, three generations stood together.

the little girl who spent so much of her life wanting her father’s love got to stand beside him as a mother, holding a daughter who will never have to question hers.

and maybe that’s what healing looks like sometimes.

not a perfect ending. not a repaired relationship. just an open door and forgiveness.

and the courage to walk through it. 💛

she played till she dropped 😴🤸🏽‍♀️

found the sweetest indoor play place in oakville and grace has not stopped talking about it. a whole pretend city at toddler height — supermarket, pizza shop, fire truck, a climbing wall into a ball pit — and a seating area where moms can actually sit??

thank you for having us @peapodindoorplayground 💚 oakville moms, save this one for the rainy (and very soon, snowy) days.

things i thought before i started my business vs things i know now.

before: what if nobody books? what if i fail? maybe i’m not ready yet.

now: i wish i started sooner.

the fear doesn’t mean stop — it means you’re about to do something that matters. take the risk 🤍

tell me, what’s the one thought holding you back right now? 👇🏿

giving grace // it’s canadian thanksgiving, and i flew home to see my family—the people i once left behind.

sometimes i feel guilty for living so far away, but the distance has been necessary for my mental health. everyone carries their own version of trauma. i’ve tried to turn mine into a life that helps others and creates something different for the daughter i’m raising.

i won’t be sitting around the table for turkey dinner this year, and i won’t pretend that doesn’t make me sad.

but when the guilt creeps in, i remember everything i’ve worked so hard to build for grace. i want her memories to empower her, uplift her and bring her joy. i want home to feel like a place she never has to recover from.

you can do all the shadow work and still feel sadness. healing doesn’t erase the pain—it teaches you how to stop passing it forward.

thanksgiving dinner may be cancelled this year because i chose my mental health, but no one can cancel the work it took to get here.

sometimes giving grace means choosing grace.

“i need more clients.”
“i need to make more content.”
“i need to do better at my business.”

little me: “wait… we OWN a business?!”

she’d be so proud of the life we built. maybe i need to let her remind me more often 🥹

what would little you say about where you are right now? 👇🏿
