From Hobby to Heart-Centered Brand: Becoming Your Dream Girl with Vanessa Ruiz

In this episode, I’m joined by makeup artist, beauty educator, and lifestyle creator Vanessa Ruiz of My Vanety, a Tucson-based brand known for soft-to-full neutral glam and girls-girl energy. We dive into how Vanessa stopped waiting for permission, turned her passion for makeup into a thriving business, and stepped fully into her dream-girl era as a mom, creator, and entrepreneur. Vanessa shares the honest, behind-the-scenes story of building her platform, from early hustle to becoming the face behind a community of thousands of women who come to her for beauty, confidence, and real-talk inspiration. She opens up about the identity shifts, self-belief, and bold decisions required to move from “this is my hobby” to “this is my brand and my life’s work.” You’ll also hear three powerful, practical makeup tips you can start using today to feel more magnetic on and off camera, plus the daily rituals that help her stay grounded, creative, and in her main-character era. If you’ve ever wondered how to transform what you love into a business and become your own dream girl along the way, this conversation will leave you activated and ready to make your next brave move.
