My guest today is the incredible Tara Clark, founder and lead hair and makeup artist at Black Lash Makeup, and owner of The Lip Lab Perth, which is Perth’s only custom makeup boutique. Both of Tara’s businesses are focused on providing natural-looking, feature-enhancing services and products, designed to make makeup routines simple and easy for busy women. What makes Tara truly inspiring is not just her success as an entrepreneur, but the way she balances it all as a mum of 4.
Tara’s journey is an inspiration to other women growing their freelance businesses. With a team of eight mixologists and makeup artists, she’s committed to not only delivering high-quality hair and makeup services but also to supporting the careers of other creatives in the industry.

Today, we’re diving deep into a topic that hits close to home for many of us: having confidence on camera and navigating the ever changing world of social media. As makeup artists, we know the struggle of showing up authentically, especially when faced with the pressure of the lens. In this episode, we’re joined by the fabulous Carmen Braidwood from Modern Media, who shares her personal journey and invaluable insights on how to embrace your true self and shine bright in front of the camera.
As Australia's Confidence on Camera Coach, and self-described, "modern" media trainer, Carmen's keynotes, programs and workshops help you trade awkward, unprofessional moments on camera for the polish of a broadcast professional, while leveraging the many and varied media platforms we all have at our fingertips.

Happy New Year!!
A little late with this episode, it was meant for the end of 2023!! We had a family emergency with my partner having a motorbike accident, surgery for a broken hip- and he is also my sound engineer for my podcast- I have let go of what is out of my control!
Here we are and grateful beyond words to still have my partner with me. I hope you had a lovely Christmas and safe new year with your loved ones!Tahryn is the Biz Wizard behind The Social Bolt.
She's a content wizard, a launch wizard AND a biz wizard (business coach for the muggles) - which makes her a tri-wizard aka a triple threat.
As a raging introvert she knows the secret to business success is to embrace your unique blend of magic and do business in a way that works for YOU.
She supports her clients to grow profitable and sustainable businesses and call in Beyonce level clients on repeat using the magic of a simplified strategy and magical marketing & messaging.
She's built a 6-figure business based around the things she loves and being authentic AF in the process.
Tahryn works alongside her Barketing Manager Ned (her 10 year old Border Collie) and new edition Magic (cutest puppy) together they love to curl up on the couch, with a glass of red wine in hand, watching Harry Potter.
