Meet Makayla Paganini

We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Makayla Paganini a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.

Makayla, so great to have you with us and we want to jump right into a really important question. In recent years, it’s become so clear that we’re living through a time where so many folks are lacking self-confidence and self-esteem. So, we’d love to hear about your journey and how you developed your self-confidence and self-esteem.

I developed it at a very young age. I had no other option besides feeling confident and being proud of who I am. Being able to trust yourself and pulling through for yourself every time builds confidence and self esteem. I’ve spoken about repetition plus emotion before on my platforms and that’s where confidence stems from!

Thanks for sharing that. So, before we get any further into our conversation, can you tell our readers a bit about yourself and what you’re working on?

Well, I used to put myself in the “beauty influencer” category. Until I realized that there’s so much more to me than just makeup or skincare videos. So I decided to not limit myself anymore. And it’s been extremely freeing. Because in my opinion there’s just only so much you can express with makeup, fashion or art in general. And I love to talk! I’m a mental health advocate. And I’m an ambassador for the Headspace app and Comfrt clothing. I just bought a few new items from Comfrts new line as well (highly recommend you check them out). I have a discount code with both of them in my bios on my socials! I also love astrology and I’ve been studying it for years. I’m now going to be offering birth chart readings as one of my services which is really exciting for me! Astrology is one of the best tools to boost your income, where you’ll end up meeting your spouse, where you’ll make the most money in the country,etc. And pro tip you can use your Venus sign to enhance your personal style❤️🤪

Looking back, what do you think were the three qualities, skills, or areas of knowledge that were most impactful in your journey? What advice do you have for folks who are early in their journey in terms of how they can best develop or improve on these?

Learning astrology and the complexities of it, psychology, reprogramming the subconscious part of the brain, and learning to have fun and laugh in the process of it all. The qualities would be my honesty to myself and others, my confidence and my milestones. It’s really easy to get caught in the trap of “not doing enough.” I make sure to remind myself that I am in fact doing enough and to not be so hard on myself.

Thanks so much for sharing all these insights with us today. Before we go, is there a book that’s played in important role in your development?

The Power of Now by Echart Tolle is and still is the most powerful read in my book collection. Especially living in NY and a fast paced society on top of that, it’s so easy to get swept up in stressful mindsets and emotional dysregulation. He talks about how being in the present moment is genuinely all we have. Right here and right now. Everything else is just an illusion.
