Trust isn’t just a “nice to have” in relationships or business—it’s the one thing that changes everything.

In this powerful, honest conversation, Candace Carnahan sits down with her longtime friend and global trust expert Natalie Doyle Oldfield, author of “Trusted: The Proven Path to Customer Loyalty and Business Growth,” to unpack what trust really is, how it’s built, how it quietly erodes, and how we can start rebuilding it—at work, at home, and within ourselves.

This isn’t a fluffy, corporate talk about “values.” It’s raw, real, and deeply human. Candace opens up about how a devastating workplace accident at 21, where “everybody failed” her, reshaped her ability to trust others. If you’ve ever questioned whether you can trust someone again, worried that you’re not trustworthy enough, felt burned by broken promises at work or at home, or simply wanted stronger relationships, more loyal customers, or a safer workplace, this conversation is for you.

In this episode, host Candace Carnahan sits down with Halifax’s queen of beauty, Vicky Mina. A beloved makeup artist and founder of her Canadian-made cosmetics line. Together, they explore what beauty really means beyond the mirror: from aging, confidence, and body image to entrepreneurship, resilience, and the power of women supporting women.

Vicky shares her journey from the banking world to building a thriving career in beauty, and how working with women in her makeup chair became her true calling. They talk honestly about hormones, feeling like a stranger in your own skin, and why grace, self-acceptance, and community matter more than any product in your makeup bag.

They also dive into the pressures of social media, the “Sephora generation,” and unrealistic beauty standards, while offering a refreshing perspective on authenticity, aging out loud, and redefining what it means to be confident at any stage of life. This conversation is real, raw, and fun. A reminder that beauty is the warmth of your soul, and everything else is just icing on the cake!
