What do YOU really want ?

What do YOU really want ?

During times of uncertainty and transition can be the perfect opportunity to check in with yourself. What would you do if you weren’t afraid? Would you be doing exactly what you are currently doing or something else ? I’m challenging you to take some time to reflect and ask yourself the hard question “ What do I really want”

Episode 41 From 9-5 Mom to Owner with Kristina Orido

Kristina Orido launched Amara Lashes back in 2018, not only for her love of luxury lashes and to provide the ability to earn a living doing something that she loves, and taking care of the needs of her children. At the time, her daughter Khloe was receiving speech and occupational therapy. Her previous position did not provide the flexibility to care for her daughter's needs, and she knew she had to walk away from her job.
In 2019, the lead makeup artist of the hit television show 'BLACKISH' emailed Kristina requesting more Amara Lashes to be mailed to Los Angeles at ABC network! She knew at that moment that Amara Lashes was special, and there was no way that she was going to give up on her journey of entrepreneurship!

Tune in to hear her amazing story and her advice to all entrepreneurs!
