Welcome to Episode 243 of Building My Legacy.

In this podcast we talk with Flavia Leal, the founder of the largest Brazilian beauty school in the U.S. Flavia shares her immigrant story with us — how she came to the U.S. at age 19 and was successful at a number of business ventures until her parents’ deaths and financial setbacks sent her into a serious depression. When she discovered that doing makeup for friends — for free — was good therapy, she found her life’s work: teaching other women how to change lives through beauty.

– How beauty can help people build their self-confidence

– A healthy alternative to covering up skin with layers of make-up
