When you look back over the chapters of your life, what moment stands out as the catalyst that transformed your journey into purpose and set you on the path to the impactful work you’re doing today? A single moment didn’t just change my life — it cracked it open. And when I look back now, I can see exactly where the shift began: The catalyst wasn’t a triumph.

Welcome, Sherry! We are so delighted to chat with you! What led you down the path of wanting to become a licensed oncology esthetician? Thank you so much!

What inspired you to establish Glossy Cosmetics Co., and what motivated you to pursue this venture? I actually started Glossy in the 6th grade and I really wanted to start my own business.

𝑼𝑯𝑴 interview with Coach Nicole Hicks!

Linnea

What led you to want to become a Certified Biblical Life Coach, and what is the inspiration behind why you started Faith Over Fear Biblical Life Coaching?  Becoming a Certified Biblical Life Coach came from one of the hardest but most transformative seasons of my life. I walked through a year of chronic illness and intense spiritual warfare that tested everything I thought I knew about faith. It was during that time that God reminded me that while prayer is essential, your faith must be activated when you say “amen.” Faith doesn’t stop when you finish praying, that’s where it … Continue reading 𝑼𝑯𝑴 interview with Coach Nicole Hicks!

𝑼𝑯𝑴 interview with Licensed Cosmetologist, Marie Williams!

Linnea

Welcome, Marie, and how are you? Hi! I’m doing great, thank you. I’m excited to be here and share my journey with everyone. What is it that fascinated you about the world of cosmetology and led you to want to become a licensed cosmetologist?  Growing up biracial, my hair was something many people didn’t quite know what to do with. My mom would take me to different salons, and women in my neighborhood would style my hair in a variety of ways—sometimes relaxed, sometimes braided. I remember sitting for hours as a kid, waiting for my hair to be done, … Continue reading 𝑼𝑯𝑴 interview with Licensed Cosmetologist, Marie Williams!

Linnea

Welcome, Chiquita, and how are you doing? I’m doing great, thank you! Some people are just born to create, as it is embedded in their DNA. At what point in your life did you realize you were creative?  I would have to say in college at Virginia State University.

When did your love for traveling develop, and what is the inspiration behind why you started this particular business? I’ve loved traveling since I was a kid.

Linnea

Welcome, Amani, and how are you doing? I am doing well and feeling extremely blessed.  Take us back a bit. When was the passion born for organizing spaces that led you on a path of wanting to help others stay organized? My passion for organizing was born from a life-changing moment of clarity after my uncle passed away. When my dad called, overwhelmed by the state of my uncle’s apartment, I thought, “How challenging could it be?” What I discovered was a space where years of accumulation had created an environment that felt insurmountable.
