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

Hi Gabrielle, what do you want people to remember about you?
I want my legacy to be that I made knowledge accessible, inspired curiosity, and helped people grow—whether in business, science, or personal development. I’d like to be remembered as a guide who encouraged others to think bigger, solve problems creatively, and pursue their dreams with confidence.

Just like Your Golden Hour Aesthetics creates a lasting impact by helping people feel their best, I want my impact to be one that empowers and supports people in their journeys.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
Your Golden Hour Aesthetics is more than just a beauty business—it’s a space where self-care meets empowerment. What sets my business apart is the personalized approach I take with every client. It’s not just about skincare or beauty treatments; it’s about helping people feel confident, radiant, and valued in their own skin. I focus on high-quality services, expert techniques, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere that makes every client feel like they’re experiencing their own “golden hour” of beauty and self-care.

Getting to where I am today wasn’t easy. Like many entrepreneurs, I faced challenges—from learning the ins and outs of business management to building a loyal clientele. There were moments of doubt and setbacks, but I stayed committed to my vision. I overcame these challenges by constantly learning, adapting, and leaning on the support of those who believed in me. Whether it was through mentorship, trial and error, or sheer determination, I kept pushing forward.

Some of the biggest lessons I’ve learned along the way are that patience is key, consistency matters, and customer relationships are everything. Success doesn’t happen overnight, but when you stay dedicated to providing value and exceptional service, the right people will find you.

What I want the world to know about Your Golden Hour Aesthetics is that it’s not just about looking good—it’s about feeling good. My goal is to create an experience that leaves people feeling refreshed, confident, and empowered. My story is one of passion, resilience, and a commitment to helping others shine in their own unique way.

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’d like to give a shoutout to all the educators, mentors, and innovators who have dedicated their time to sharing knowledge and inspiring others. Their guidance and insights have shaped the way I help people think, learn, and grow.

I’d also recognize the countless authors and thought leaders whose books have sparked curiosity and deepened my understanding of the world. Knowledge is a collective effort, and I wouldn’t be able to do what I do without those who came before me.
