Behind The Sequins

Hey girl hey! This episode is all about the next chapter: empty nesting, keeping your marriage a priority, perimenopause and figuring out who you are when the kids leave home. We also get into Cassie's life philosophy of living for the now and seeing the world, why your girlfriends matter more than ever, and the marriage advice we wish we’d heard at 30. Listen to her, love her and follow along at @cassiesugarplum!

Join us as we chat about a hard topic: forgiveness. Forgiveness of each other and of ourselves—as we revisit Hector's sobriety journey, recent fights and more! 

Come join me as I learn my colors, my season, and my undertones while I get analyzed, matched for makeup, and styled with Teresa Dillon, Reluctantly Styled, @thereluctant_influencer and Adriana Nestora, The Makeup Edit, @the__makeupedit. Adriana Nestora, The Makeup Edit, @the__makeupedit https://adriananestora.com/ Teresa Dillon, Reluctantly Styled, @thereluctant_influencer https://www.reluctantlystyled.com/ 

Tune in to see who the special guest is. You know and love him, and now get to hear from him. A must listen!! 

If you are north of 35 and your body suddenly feels like a stranger, this one is your permission slip to stop guessing. I am sitting down with Andrea Overturf  of @andreaaoverturf and Whitney Stuart of @whitnessnutrition, co-hosts of the Dallas Duo podcast, on fueling your body, family and performance; detoxing your body of hormones; perimenopause; why cardio alone is not saving us anymore and how to actually lift heavy; and the labs every woman should be asking for. Whitney is a registered dietitian and a board certified diabetes care and education specialist, so we go straight at blood sugar, prediabetes and the GLP1 conversation nobody is having. Andrea brings the real talk on the core function of food, strength training in your forties, and being honest about the maintenance—what we should have been told a decade ago.

Description: Hey girl hey! I have wanted to do this episode for SO long, one that gives you an even bigger glimpse behind the sequins and all the things that come with being a creator!! Plus, I'll shed some light on my thoughts on AI: the good and the bad. So I asked our dearest friend and podcast producer Colby Jones (@colbykrugerjones) to join the guest seat this time, because y'all, she is a wealth of knowledge!! With 15+ years supporting creators and a business built around helping founders and creators, Colby is passionate about teaching women to stop fearing AI and start using it. We talk creator careers, the people out there abusing AI and ruining it for everyone, and the everyday AI hacks that will save you hours. XOXO

Join Hector and I as we catch up for all things over the summer, including a close death encounter for Hector (podcast exclusive!! lol!!), and what we are most looking forward to for season 3!!!

This week on Behind the Sequins, Hector is running the show, quite literally! Tune in to see Britt ‘let go’ of control and walk into the show with no idea of what the questions or conversation topics will be—fully created by Hector. Hector gets all of his juicy questions answered and you get to watch! 

Y'all, this episode is for every girl who's ever sweated off her makeup and thought — there has to be a better way. I sat down with the co-founders of FORTA Cosmetics, WNBA star Lexi Hull @lexiehull and entrepreneur Sara Guller @sarahguller, and honestly? This conversation had me ready to go start a business with my best friend immediately. We get into what it's really like behind the scenes of the WNBA, what it means to thrive in rooms that weren't built for you, and how these two Stanford roommates turned a shared frustration into a full-on performance beauty brand. Spoiler: we also talk Coachella, the Masters, and yes — two-stepping in Nashville. Come for the beauty, stay for the real talk — this one's for the girl who doesn't fit in just one box.Give @fortacosmetics a follow and try it out yourself! https://fortacosmetics.com/ https://www.goodles.com/ :)
