What is up? I'm Grace Beverly and welcome back to Working Hard.

The podcast-shaped guide book on how to improve your own life and achieve what you actually dreamed of doing.

Because life's too short for boring podcasts and bad advice.

So I've always liked the idea of glowing up, but I think the way we talk about it is kind of broken.

It's always the same products, routines, checklists, and yet so many of us don't properly

glow up as a person. Like we might still feel

insecure or overwhelmed or unsure of ourselves. And if I am being honest, a lot of the glow up

content online only exacerbates that. It feels like a glow up is specifically an external view

of what you look like and how you grow over time, rather than truly

all go on this journey and genuinely

feel like we are getting closer to the type of person we wanted to be. And when I think of glowing up

and confidence and coming from a place of self-assurance, there is one person I follow who I think

about when I say that, and that is

Dr. O'WOMA. I have followed her for years, so I originally followed her for everything about

skincare, and then just over time, I was like, God, this is a person who is, she knows what she wants,

she knows how to build herself and her mindset, And I wanted to get like a drop of that

confidence and that advice. I also feel like this is not something that she was born with. I followed her
