Today is #WorldMentalHealthDay, and if you know me, you know how deeply this work lives in my heart. I’m endlessly grateful to have found purpose-driven meaning within an industry that’s often focused outward — and to help turn that focus inward. The journey isn't easy. Doing the inner work rarely is. It’s uncomfortable, messy, and often requires slowing down and sitting with emotions we’d rather avoid. But through that process — through vulnerability, awareness, and creating safe spaces for big feelings (like we do on @thebeautymanifest) — I’ve found healing while helping others do the same. Because true beauty doesn’t come from perfection — it comes from your energy. From the light that grows through your healing, the warmth you share through kindness, and the authenticity that radiates when you allow yourself to be fully human. Today, I also want to honor those who are in the thick of it — the ones still finding their way through the hard days, the heaviness, and the healing. You are not alone. Your feelings are valid, and your presence matters more than you know. I'm in it with you. And to those who have left us because the world was just too heavy, I honor you with loving myself as deeply as I can. Let today be a gentle reminder to feel it all — the “good,” the “bad,” and everything in between. Because when we allow ourselves to truly feel, even when it’s hard, we create space for growth, connection, and the most authentic kind of joy. 💕 #mentalhealth #mentalhealthmatters #rarebeauty #thebeautymanifest #sephora #beauty
