How To Feel Beautiful Inside and Out After Loss

No stranger to darkness, CEO and founder of Pretty Girl Makeup, Sepsis Awareness Advocate and celebrity makeup artist, Christina Flach, knows how to see beauty and light around her even through hard times. On this week’s episode of “Happiness through Hardship” – The Podcast, Christina dives into the loss of her husband from sepsis as well as the grief she experienced through losing her son and mother.
