In this episode of Reframed, I’m sitting down with the amazing Megan Bertsch, founder of Megan Bertsch Beauty in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Megan’s journey from art student to sought-after makeup artist is incredibly inspiring, and we dive deep into her story, the transformative power of professional makeup services, and so much more.

Boosting Confidence with Makeup

Megan shares how makeup is more than just a service—it’s a confidence booster. Whether it’s for a photoshoot, a wedding, or a special event, Megan’s work helps clients feel their best and look their best. We talk about how the right makeup can completely change how someone feels about themselves, and the joy she gets from seeing her clients light up when they look in the mirror.

Making an Impact

Beyond her work as a makeup artist, Megan is passionate about making a difference. She opens up about her involvement in Rare by Design, an inspiring project focused on raising awareness and promoting inclusion and representation for individuals with rare diseases and disabilities. We discuss how projects like this align with her mission to create a welcoming, comforting presence in the beauty industry and empower all of her clients, no matter their background or challenges.

Navigating Entrepreneurship

Running a beauty business isn’t always glamorous, and Megan is no stranger to the ups and downs of entrepreneurship. During our conversation, we get real about the challenges of managing a growing business while avoiding burnout. Megan shares the importance of setting boundaries, learning when to say “no,” and taking care of yourself as a business owner.

Building a Community and Taking Action

One of the biggest takeaways from our chat is the importance of starting, practicing, and building a supportive community. Megan’s journey shows that success doesn’t come overnight, but by taking action, refining your skills, and surrounding yourself with the right people, you can reach your goals.
