Educated Artistry

Todays episode is bittersweet... I have decided to stop publishing episodes for this podcast after an amazing 5 year journey. Today I am going to take to through the Educated Artistry Timeline, what ultimately led me to this decision and what is next for me.   To my loyal supporters and friends, thank you so much for being on this journey with me.

I can't thank you enough for the success of this show!   To the guests, I truly appreciate you taking your time to come on this show to share value and insight with the listeners. I am extremly proud of the lineup and topics we have covered together.    Educated Artistry will live on with 132 published episodes ready for you to binge and get value from wherever you are in your beauty career.   Don't worry because I'm not officially retiring from the mic yet... more to come soon    xo, Kayla
