Makeup by Evelyn Mauro

Too many times, I have found myself lost in the noise of life…
the labels, the expectations, the pressure.

And I’ve had to pause and remind myself who I am…
and why I’m here.

On the eve of a workshop, I feel calm, steady, prepared —
and filled with anticipation.

I don’t take this lightly.

What an honor it is to pour into the lives of the women around me.
This is truly one of my favorite things to do…

To encourage.
To listen.
To remind as many as I can that they are uniquely and wonderfully made — no matter what.

No matter their past.
No matter their mistakes.
No matter their successes or their struggles.

Everyone is welcome here.

I would so appreciate prayers over our volunteers and the women attending.
Empower Beauty is expecting our largest turnout yet…

God is truly on the move, and I believe He is about to do something so special. 🤍

🤍 10 Workshops. Thousands of Moments. Endless Gratitude. 🤍

I can’t believe I’m even writing this… but this week marks the 10th Empower Beauty workshop, and I’ve been so emotional thinking about it.

What started as a small “yes” to God has grown into something so much bigger than me — a space where women of all ages can gather, be encouraged, and remember who they are.

To know we’ve touched hundreds of lives brings tears to my eyes… but what’s even more humbling is how much my own life has been continually changed through every single one.

God has met us in these moments — in the tears, the laughter, the healing, and the reminders of truth.

Thank you to this community for supporting this mission. I truly believe we are just getting started.

All glory to God for what He has done… and what’s still to come. 🤍✨
