Meet Brittany Walda | Skin Care Therapist & owner of Beauty By Bee

We had the good fortune of connecting with Brittany Walda and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Brittany, how has your work-life balance changed over time?
Over the years, my approach to work-life balance has evolved significantly. When I started Beauty By Bee, I poured so much energy into growing my business and perfecting my craft not only as a skin care therapist and permanent makeup artist but as a business owner. While that passion remains, I’ve learned that balance is essential—not just for me, but for my family, my clients, and my overall well-being.

As a mother of two and someone who deeply values my family and our personal life, I’ve become more intentional about setting boundaries and prioritizing quality time with the people closest to me. We love to travel and that is a grounding escape where we recharge and find inspiration wherever our adventures take us.

Now, I think about balance as a flow rather than a fixed point. It’s about staying present and giving my best to whatever needs me most in the moment, whether that’s my clients, my family, or myself. This is so much easier said than done but it’s something I am making a property to do so that I can give my best to all facets of my life. Embracing this perspective has not only improved my personal life but also allowed me to bring more compassion, warmth, and focus to my work with clients.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
What Sets You Apart, and What Are You Most Proud Of?
What truly sets Beauty By Bee apart is the personal connection I build with my clients. I approach my treatments with compassion, warmth, and the deep desire to help people feel confident and comfortable in their own skin. My years as a skin care therapist and permanent makeup artist have taught me that beauty is absolutely not skin deep—it’s about creating a space where people feel seen, heard, cared for, and loved.
I’m incredibly proud of the relationships I’ve built with my clients. Many of them have become like family, and knowing I’ve made a positive impact on their lives is the most fulfilling part of my work.
How Did I Get Here? Was It Easy?
The journey to where I am today has been anything but easy. Balancing a growing business with being a wife, mother, farmer, has been challenging, but every step has been worth it. There were moments when the workload felt overwhelming or when self-doubt crept in, but I’ve learned to lean into my resilience and the support of my family—especially my husband, David.
How I Overcame Challenges
I overcame challenges by staying focused on my what matters most at the end of the day. Whenever things felt tough, I reminded myself why I started: to create a space where people feel loved and valued. I am also learning to ask for help when I need it and to embrace balance. We’ve really leaned into more traveling, something we love and my clients have been so supportive of this.
Lessons I’ve Learned Along the Way
One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned is to trust the process. Growth doesn’t happen overnight, and setbacks often come with such valuable lessons. I’ve also learned the importance of self-care. As someone who gives so much to others, I’ve realized that taking care of myself allows me to show up fully for my clients, my family, and my business.
What I Want the World to Know About My Brand and Story
Beauty By Bee isn’t just a business—it’s a reflection of my heart. It’s a place where every client is treated with kindness, respect, and an individualized approach. My story is one of perseverance, strength despite the odds, and love for what I do. I want the world to know that when they come to Beauty By Bee, they’re not just getting a service—they’re becoming part of a community built on trust, care, and genuine connection.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I want to give a special shoutout to my husband, David. We’ve been married for 15 wonderful years, and his steady, calm strength has been the foundation that keeps me grounded. No matter how busy or stressful life gets—whether I’m juggling my business, our family, or life on our mini farm—David is always there with his unwavering support.
His cool, level-headed presence has been my anchor, helping me navigate challenges and reminding me to stay centered. He’s my biggest cheerleader and my quiet rock, always believing in me and encouraging me no matter what crazy idea I come up with. I couldn’t have built Beauty by Bee without his love, patience, and strength, and I’m so insanely grateful to share this journey with him.
