This episode is pure joy. I sat down with my radiant friend Jade Patronis, also known as the Lipstick Diva, and we had the best time talking about everything from beauty shop memories to spiritual disciplines and chasing dreams with faith and fire. Jade shares how she blended her love of color and connection into her own lipstick line, and how that business is about to take a big, bold leap. We talk about what it means to show up fully as yourself, why it's okay to be “a lot,” and how being cute on the outside can reflect a whole lot of light on the inside. You’ll hear us reflect on loss, the importance of peace, and how God’s timing always shows up—right when you need it most. From pageants to pajama days, from prayer to popcorn, this one’s got laughter, love, and so much truth. If you’ve ever felt like you had to tone yourself down, play small, or be someone you’re not, this conversation will set your spirit free. Jade reminds us what it means to be real, rooted in faith, and filled with sparkle.
