In this inspiring episode of the BFF Empowerment Podcast, host Blaque Diamond sits down with powerhouse entrepreneur Michelle Peth, founder of Beet Tan, to talk about turning passion into purpose—and purpose into profit.

What started as a deeply personal mission to help her sister find a safe alternative to sun tanning after multiple skin cancer scares blossomed into a thriving beauty brand and national training academy. Michelle shares how she went from single mom with a spray tent and a dream to owning two storefront locations in historic Savannah and training over 600 women to build their own spray tanning businesses.

This conversation goes far beyond beauty. Michelle opens up about:

✨ Creating a clean, organic product before “clean beauty” was trendy

✨ Building a business that empowers women financially

✨ Offering a full “business-in-a-box” model for aspiring entrepreneurs

✨ The power of community, mentorship, and support

✨ Why spray tanning is about confidence—not just color

From celebrity clients to Beet Tan Retreat business weekends, Michelle proves that even the most unexpected ideas can grow into something life-changing when rooted in love, service, and empowerment.

If you’ve ever thought about starting your own business, pivoting careers, or simply finding a safe and affordable way to feel more confident in your skin—this episode is for you.

Because sometimes empowerment starts with something as simple as a glow… and turns into something much bigger. ✨

In this powerful episode of the Women on the Rise segment of the BFF Empowerment Podcast, host Blaque Diamond sits down with Mary Harris, a leadership coach (and former engineer of 20 years) now based in the south of France near Nice.

Mary shares what sparked her major career pivot—navigating a full life, becoming a stepmom overnight, motherhood, and the wake-up call many women experience when the schedule is packed but something still feels off. Together, they unpack the difference between traditional “push through” productivity and what Mary calls a more sustainable approach: managing your energy, not just your time.

You’ll hear Mary break down her Core Energy Coaching perspective, including the four key areas that influence burnout and fulfillment—mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual energy—and how small shifts (like movement, boundaries, alone time, and values alignment) can create big change. Blaque Diamond also opens up about her own journey into becoming a certified empowerment coach, the power of finally making your “natural gift” official, and why self-care is so much deeper than spa days.
