Okay, so I know we know that prostaglandin analogues are banned in Canada and not the USA, but do we actually know what the ingredient names are and the deeper reason why? Can we confidently tell our clients what to look for on an ingredient list when they are choosing a lash serum, or even when we decide what to carry in our own studio? And beyond that, do we understand what these ingredients are doing over time, not just the results we see at the beginning? Like any cosmetic product, there are side effects, but are not the same for everyone, so the conversation is not about whether something is good or bad, but about knowing how it works so we can guide with clarity. This is where awareness becomes part of our role as artists. After reading through this, what stood out to you most, was it the ingredient names, how it works, or the long term understanding behind it?

Last week you chose one thing. At the time, it felt clear. It made sense. This is the point where most people lose it, not because it stopped working, but because they start doubting it too soon or letting outside noise change their direction. What felt like an “aha” moment a few days ago suddenly feels uncertain. The problem is not that it is not working. You just have not stayed with it long enough. Stay with it. Are you still moving on what you committed to last week?

Today is your reset point. We are halfway through the week, and this is where you bring your focus back to what actually matters, not what you planned, but what you have followed through on. You already know the work you have been putting in. Even if it is not always seen or recognized, it still counts. This is about how you continue to show up for yourself and your business. So check in with yourself today. What have you actually implemented so far this week?Where did you stay consistent, even when it felt repetitive?Where did you hold back or overthink? There is still time to realign and finish the week strong. Come back to your 1%. Keep it simple, stay in motion, and build from there. Post what you are working on today.

Welcome. I am really glad you are here. This space is being built in real time, and you are part of that. It is not set up as a finished course or something you passively move through. It is a working space where we learn, ask, try, and grow through the process together. This is also being built alongside real life. I am running my studio, building my businesses, and managing everything that comes with it, just like many of you. So this space is not about perfect structure or having everything mapped out in advance. It is about staying in motion and continuing to build, even when things are full. That is the standard here. To get started, keep it simple. Go to the Daily Check In and post one thing you are working on today or something you have already done. It does not need to be perfect or fully figured out. That is the point of being here. If you have a question, ask it. If you are unsure, share that. If you tried something and it did not work, post it anyway. This is where you get feedback, make adjustments, and keep moving forward. You will also see the weekly flow: Mondays to set direction Midweek to check in End of week to reflect and refine. There is no pressure to have everything organized before you start. Just show up, stay active, and build from where you are. I am here, building alongside you. Sincerely, Michelle

Life is actually simple, we just tend to overcomplicate it. A lot of what we experience comes down to the perspective we choose to hold. The narrative you repeat will shape what you see, what you focus on, and ultimately what you build. If you are looking for problems, you will find them. If you are looking for solutions, you will start to notice those instead. Both exist at the same time, but this is where it matters. Being positive without action is not enough. You still need to do the work, understand what is required, and stay consistent even when it feels repetitive. That is where real growth happens. This week, pay attention to the narrative you are operating from. What are you focusing on right now, and how is that affecting the way you are showing up in your work? Post your focus for the week below.
