Beyond the Timeline: A Live Conversation with Valencia Koger @minksbyv

Hey TBBP Fam, send us a message! You've seen the viral moments. Now hear the story behind them. In this episode of The Beauty Boss Podcast, host Venaé Breonna sits down with Valencia Koger , known online as MinksbyV , for an honest, live conversation recorded at the DLM Level Up Retreat in Miami . Valencia is known for her impact on the lash industry, and here she shares the untold perspective behind her viral media and the growth people never see on social media. Together, they talk about the power of being in the right rooms, and what it really looks like to run a business through real life shifts and changes. Valencia opens up about the discipline of affirming yourself, even on the days it feels hard, and how mindset, consistency, and faith carry her through each chapter of entrepreneurship. They explore the uncomfortable side of growth, the seasons of sacrifice that build long-term success, and the real identity questions that surface in the middle of a shift. Valencia also reflects on questions from the live panel at the retreat, and on the power of staying curious, open-minded, and truly authentic. She shares how she makes learning fun in the lash industry through her DIY lash products and engaging social media content. The conversation also touches on wellness, fitness, and conditioning your mindset, along with therapy and, most importantly, her faith in God, prayer, and reading the Bible with deeper understanding and real-life application. She reminds us that peace can be a weapon, and that you deserve to win. Reminder that you're not behind; you're growing.

Getting Out of Your Own Head, Owning Your Visibility & Embracing Uncomfortable Growth with Keshya @lashsesh.supplies

Hey TBBP Fam, send us a message! Keshya of @lashsesh.supplies joins The Beauty Boss Podcast for a conversation about what happens when you decide it’s finally time to get out of your own head — and get in the room. Now based in Las Vegas, Keshya gives us a closer look at the woman behind the brand, sharing pieces of her personal life, her marriage, home life, and the journey that led her into the beauty industry! One thing we get honest about? The fear of being seen. There’s an interesting closeness that comes with social media. You can follow someone for years, support their business, watch their journey and feel like you know them — while still having never actually connected face-to-face. Keshya shares what it’s been like moving beyond that digital curtain and challenging herself to show up differently for herself & her community in this next chapter. That opened up a bigger conversation about being in the right rooms, building genuine relationships, and allowing yourself to experience opportunities beyond what happens online. On October 3rd, Keshya is bringing her first Beauty Sesh Convention to Las Vegas, creating a space for beauty professionals to connect beyond the timeline and meet some of the people they may have only known through a screen. We also get into perfectionism, navigating OCD while running a business, changing the habits that can keep you stuck and learning when it’s time to stop giving yourself reasons why you can’t do something. Sometimes you really do have to get out of your head and just do it. For Keshya, this season looks like stepping outside of her shell, trying something new and allowing herself to be seen while she does it. A real conversation about beauty, business, community — and what can happen when you finally permit yourself to show up. Get Beauty Sesh Convention in Las Vegas, NV Love the conversation?

Finding Purpose In the Pivot: Jamila @jbesthetics__ Shares Her Backstory On Business & More!

Hey TBBP Fam, send us a message! Born and raised in North Carolina, @jbesthetics__ Jamila “ JB ” Bobbitt joins The Beauty Boss Podcast to talk about what happens when your path to purpose is anything but linear. From doing hair in high school to pursuing neonatal nursing in college, stepping away from school during a major life checkpoint, entering the world of aesthetics and cosmetics, and eventually finding her way back to nursing school — JB’s story is one of pivots, perseverance, and learning to trust where life is leading you. Now at 29 , JB reflects on the seasons when working hard, paying bills, and repeating the same cycle wasn’t enough. She wanted fulfillment. She wanted purpose. And most importantly, she wanted peace. JB gets vulnerable about growing behind the business and the brand, refusing to throw in the towel, and exploring the evolving intersection of beauty, science, and wellness — including today’s growing conversations around IV treatments and modern wellness experiences. Recorded during the DLM Level Up Retreat, this conversation is a reminder that success doesn’t always follow a straight line — and sometimes the pivot is part of the purpose. JB leaves fellow Beauty Bosses with a message to carry into their own journeys: stay prayed up, stay consistent, and don’t let up. Plus, she shares why Beauty Bosses should have the next DLM Retreat in the Dominican Republic in 2027 on their radar. ✨ Love the conversation? Let's stay connected!

In this episode of the DLM Level Up Retreat series, we connect with Angelyce @lashecebyangelyce , a beauty entrepreneur and self-confidence advocate from Utica, New York. She takes us back to where her journey began, sharing how growing up in the Dominican Republic, embracing her culture, and spending time in her aunt’s hair salons introduced her to the world of beauty. But the road to building her brand wasn’t always easy. Angelyce opens up about changes within her family, learning to provide for herself, navigating college during the COVID-19 shutdown, and developing the confidence to embrace her body and love the woman she was becoming. Instead of allowing those challenges to stop her journey, she transformed every obstacle into an opportunity to level up. Angelyce began investing in her dream at a young age and went on to create an authentic lash brand offering bottom lashes, tweezers, accessories, and more!

@valyslashlab Gives Us The REAL About Life & Business & A Hilarious Girl Talk!

Hey TBBP Fam, send us a message! During the 2026 DLM Level Up Retreat , Venaé sits down with @valyslashlab following an exclusive business development class for an honest conversation about beauty, business, mentorship, faith and becoming who you’re called to be! Val shares how she got started AND her perspective as a growing entrepreneur, while the two explore what the future of beauty education should really look like — especially in an industry where almost anything can be called a “class,” but where’s the substance? From different generational perspectives on entrepreneurship and family foundations to finding yourself while building a business in your 20s, they get into the REAL behind-the-scenes work: choosing the right mentor, being ready to become a mentee, navigating people-pleasing, imposter syndrome, self-sabotage, adversity, and learning to believe in your own vision. They also unpack the MAJOR role of prayer, affirmations, intentional thinking, community, and true honesty with yourself — while discussing what happens when you give too much energy to the wrong people and things. And of course, it wouldn’t be The Beauty Boss Podcast without some girl talk. Val and Venaé take it back to their high school memories, celebrate the power of originality and self-empowerment, and introduce a new personality category: RASSY — ratchet and classy. 😂 It’s business development, faith, friendship, mentorship and real-life perspective — straight from the DLM Level Up Retreat.
