đď¸ Episode Summary:
In this episode of the Direct Sales Done Right Podcast, Katy Ursta interviews Lauren Hale, a branding expert and author, who shares her journey of authenticity and vulnerability in the realm of social media and direct sales.
Lauren Hale is a kindergarten teacher turned mature beauty influencer who is now sharing her perimenopause journey to her online community as well. Her goal is to teach women over 40 how to make their make-up work for their needsâinstead of trying to make their skin work with the trends from 20-year-olds as well as learn to embrace midlife and the âshiftâ we go through. She has over 800k followers on her social media platforms, and her work has been featured on Good Morning America, the New York Post, and the Daily Sun. She can now add published author to that list as well. Her book, âGirl, Put on your Lipstick the World Needs You. A Guide to Living Unapologetically and Authentically in your 40âs and Beyond" has quickly become an Amazon bestseller. She shares openly with her audience about her midlife journey and how she has embraced her authentic self. She lives in Idaho with her best friend and husband, Nic, and their three teenagers, who keep them busy traveling all over the northwest for a truly astounding number of sports tournaments. (And she wouldnât have it any other way!)
In this podcast, Lauren discusses her book, the challenges of navigating midlife, and the importance of passion and energy in content creation. She reflects on her growth journey, the impact of her viral success, and the shift from makeup to addressing midlife issues like perimenopause. The conversation emphasizes the significance of community, connection, and being true to oneself in the ever-evolving landscape of social media.
