Summary

In this episode, I sit down with Alicia Grande, the CEO and founder of Grande Cosmetics and the powerhouse behind the number-one lash and brow serum in America for nearly 20 years. 

From building a beauty empire while staying grounded to navigating marriage, motherhood, and the judgment that often comes with female success, Alicia shares her story with a level of openness I know you’ll truly appreciate. This conversation is not just about beauty or business, it’s about identity, resilience, community, and what it really takes to flourish in midlife. 

In this episode, we discuss:

  • How Alicia built Grande Cosmetics from one product to the number-one lash and brow serum in America
  • The grit, vision, and persistence it took to succeed in a crowded beauty industry
  • The emotional side of success that women don’t often talk about
  • What happens to friendships, marriage, and family dynamics when a woman becomes the breadwinner
  • Why so many midlife women are craving sisterhood, community, and safe spaces to be vulnerable
  • The judgment she faced from other women and how she processed losing friendships along the way
  • Her desire for balance, spiritual grounding, and connection beyond business
  • The beauty routines and wellness rituals that keep her feeling confident and aligned
  • The surprising similarities between her story and so many women navigating midlife reinvention

You are your company's based in New York, but you're snow burden right now in Florida. How's the weather down there? It's pretty nice. It's like around 80 degrees, sunny. It definitely just makes you feel better about life.
