Confidence, beauty, aging and LIPSTICK

What starts as a conversation about lipstick turns into a full-blown masterclass on identity, confidence, aging, beauty standards, and the sneaky little ways women abandon themselves to stay “acceptable.” And honestly? We love a plot twist. 💄✨ In this episode, Sandy sits down with Monica Walls, founder and CEO of Keka’s Usna, a lipstick brand rooted in heritage, self-expression, and the radical act of letting women feel good in their own skin. Together, they unpack comparison friction, inherited beliefs, body image, photo shoot panic, beauty culture, and why a bold lip can sometimes feel like a revolution. This conversation is soulful, cheeky, vulnerable, and wildly empowering. There’s talk of Marilyn Monroe, Snoop Dogg rhinestone Crocs, plus-size swimsuit photo shoots, and the deeply healing sentence: “I can celebrate my beauty next to their beauty.” Lipstick isn’t the point. Being fully yourself is. And sister… that’s the real glow-up. www.pinkladyposse.com
