GRWM | THANK YOU GOD 🫶🏽💕✨

Getting ready to film a podcast episode isn't just about looking good; it's about feeling confident and prepared to share your message! While my original post gave you a glimpse into my makeup routine, there's so much more that goes into my GRWM process when I'm about to hit record for the LVME UNBRKN POD. First off, mental preparation is key. Before I even think about makeup, I take a few minutes to clear my head. Sometimes it's deep breathing, other times it's reviewing my notes or topic points one last time. This helps me feel centered and ready to articulate my thoughts clearly. It's about getting into that 'host' mindset, ready to engage and connect with my listeners. Next, let’s talk about comfort and camera-readiness. For podcast filming, I always prioritize outfits that are comfortable but still look professional and put-together on camera. Think soft fabrics, solid colors, and nothing too distracting. I’ve learned that fidgeting with an uncomfortable top can totally throw off my flow during a recording session, so comfort is non-negotiable. I also quickly check my background – is it tidy? Is the lighting good? A quick glance ensures everything looks appealing for the visual aspect of the podcast. Hydration is another huge part of my pre-filming routine. Talking for extended periods can dry out your throat, so I always have a big glass of water or a warm tea nearby. Sometimes I even do a few vocal warm-ups, just hums or tongue twisters, to make sure my voice is ready for action. It makes a noticeable difference in how clear and strong my voice sounds throughout the episode. And yes, while the makeup is crucial for feeling camera-ready, it’s just one piece of the puzzle. I keep a small touch-up kit right beside me: a blotting sheet, a lip gloss, and maybe a setting spray. You never know when you might need a quick refresh between segments or during a short break. It’s all about minimizing distractions and maximizing focus on the conversation. For me, getting ready for the LVME UNBRKN POD is an all-encompassing ritual that helps me perform my best and deliver valuable content to my audience. It's truly a full GRWM experience, inside and out!
