Guest: Alicia Bucknor, The Royal Artist
About the Episode
There is beauty in adversity, and Alicia is a testament to this. Motherhood and a traumatizing car accident asked our guest to re-evaluate her priorities, how she saw herself, and her role in the community. We discuss fashion to sea moss, and the importance of just doing ‘something’ during the day for our health and fitness. Alicia shares her passion to empower not only her girls but the wider community to understand how special and royal they really are. A beauty crown is not something we fight for at a pageant, it is something we must learn to crown ourselves with, this being something only you can do for you. We discuss the importance of our children understanding early that the idea of beauty is more than just the clothes you wear, how you look, or what other’s think, it is about a resonance that can only come from the inside. When we discover this vibrational beauty in ourselves, the entire world including all the unique people we see during the day becomes a masterpiece.
