Beyond Bridal
Beyond Bridal by Michelle Wight Podcast is where beauty, business, and boldness collide. I built a six-figure beauty business in just four years—all while raising four kids and becoming a mom at 20 years young. Perseverance, passion, hard work, and a whole lot of determination got me here, and trust me, I’ve got stories to tell. As a second-generation Mexican American and a bridal and celebrity makeup artist with two decades of experience, I’m here for the real talk—unapologetically me and ready to spill. From scaling a beauty biz to balancing motherhood and entrepreneurship, nothing is off-limits. Whether you’re a fellow artist, entrepreneur, or just here for the tea, expect raw convos, expert advice, and behind-the-scenes secrets that’ll leave you fired up and ready to level up. Let’s talk beauty, business, and everything in between!
