Mila Rose aka @milarosebirmingham and #cheekyzoom is a bright light in the lash world, sharing her joy and good vibes all around. Mila was on the brink of giving up her lash career until she attended London LashFest. It really was transformational for her and it was the start of her rise to VISIBILITY in the lash community. Fast forward 2 years, she's has multiple lash ambassadorships under her belt, has been on multiple podcasts and has spoken herself at LashFest and is soon to hop up on stage again at Opal Games. I had the pleasure of having her as a member of The Visibility Gateway for 6 months which was all part of her plan to build confidence, profile and to build awareness for the need for deeper inclusivity and diversity across the industry whether that's in the classroom or in our lash rooms.

Her own struggles in her life, both physical and emotional have led her to the place she is today - a force to reckon with in the beauty industry, one full of knowledge and experience she is bursting to share with her students.

In this post pandemic episode we look more to the future as we move further away from the lockdowns and all the anguish those brought with them. Many of us had to pivot our businesses just to survive but my guest Sophie Mason fully pivoted her business when she saw the opportunity to get the life she wanted. Sophie was an all round beautician and worked for many years with her own thriving business until Covid hit. During the lockdowns she created LashFest - a very successful lash conference. She's passionate about helping other women reach financial independence and is now a business coach as well. Find out more, as in true 'Behind The Lashes' style; I have a good old poke around!

Nipping off over the Atlantic again for this episode. I speak to a brand new guest on Behind The Lashes. She's Senior Master Lash Artist for Lashbox LA and a seriously accomplished lash artist and educator. She was in right at the beginning in 2006 when she saw a picture in a magazine and begged the salon she was in to get a trainer in there and eventually they listened and thus her love affair with lashes began. She has a really big heart and is as passionate about helping others as she is about making people look and feel beautiful. You only need to look at her instagram to see this and speaking of which if there was a prize for creating copious amounts of dreamy content; I think she'd win it! Check her out on tress.lashboxla Tress is coming to London in May to speak at @lashfest__ she is running her training the day before on 14th May and there are a couple of spaces left. There are also a few tickets left to Lashfest. I'm going - I'm MC for the day and speaking also. Come and join us!

DISCLAIMER...Trina wants to add this to the description. Let's just say we do not discuss lashes at all; instead we cover Covid and the impact is it having on multiple levels. Trina shares her thoughts on the restrictions and the wider impact on the human race. She's not a conspiracist exactly but she encourages us to at least ask questions when our lives are being so negatively impacted by this virus. Also she talks about the need to have a 'Family Plan' - which I don't! Such a challenging discussion for me and really got me thinking. So buckle up and get ready for this one if you're game!
