<p>💋 The Red Lipstick Moment: A Love Letter to the Woman in the Mirror</p><p><em>Coming home to yourself starts with a reflection.</em></p><p>What if one small act — like putting on red lipstick — could crack you open?</p><p>In this deeply personal solo episode, Julz shares the quiet turning point that reconnected her with her power, her reflection, and her <em>divine feminine essence.</em> It’s not about makeup. It’s about choosing to be seen — first by yourself.</p><p>Inside:💋 The surprising story behind her signature red lipstick👑 The awakening moment that changed how she shows up🔥 A challenge to find your own sacred daily ritual of pleasure</p><p>This episode marks a new chapter — a shift toward small luxuries, radical self-love, and remembering who you were before the world told you otherwise.</p><p>When was the last time you truly saw yourself?Not through a to-do list.Not through your children’s eyes.Not filtered through expectations.But truly — just you, looking back at you.</p><p>I had that moment. And it started with red lipstick.Yes — that one.</p><p>You’ve probably seen me wear it.You may have noticed.You may love it or not.And I’m okay with both. Because there was a time… I couldn’t stand the sight of me.</p><p>Before the Lipstick</p><p>I used to hide.</p><p>Like many women, I believed being small made me safe.Blending in made me lovable.</p><p>At the time, color scared me.Visibility? Terrified me.A red matte lipstick? Permanent and bold? That felt like an act of rebellion.But one day, a friend dragged me to Sephora and said, <em>“Try this. Just once.”</em>I did. I covered my mouth with a book on the ride home.I was afraid to be seen.</p><p>But when I walked through the door, my (now ex) husband looked at me with surprise — and approval.Not because I was prettier. But because I was <strong>present</strong>. Alive.</p><p>The next day, I wore it to work.Same thing. Compliments. Connection. Confidence.</p><p>And yet — life happened. Kids, divorce, exhaustion.I forgot her.Until COVID.</p><p>The Mirror, Again</p><p>During lockdown, while searching for a lipstick that wouldn’t rub off under a mask, I hesitantly picked up red again.I applied it and looked in the mirror.</p><p>And there she was.</p><p>Not just a mother.Not just a wife or an ex.Not a tired woman with responsibilities.</p><p>I saw a <strong>woman in her power</strong>.A woman with potential, beauty, magic.A woman I had forgotten… but who had been waiting for me all along.</p><p>That was my <em>red lipstick moment</em>.</p><p>Your Turn: What Awakens <em>You</em>?</p><p>It’s not about lipstick. It’s about <strong>permission</strong>.To stand out.To love what you see.To stop waiting for someone else to tell you: <em>“You’re allowed.”</em></p><p>Maybe for you it’s a certain perfume.Or dancing in your kitchen barefoot.Or that espresso in silence before the house wakes.Or putting on a silk robe, just because.</p><p>What’s your tiny, sacred ritual?What awakens <em>you</em>?</p><p>What's Coming</p><p>This isn’t just a personal story.
