Episode 4 - Esther Vallins

In Episode 4 of What’s The Tea with Sarah E, I sit down with the multi-talented Esther Vallins - actor, dancer, singer, voice-over artist, content creator, and the brilliant founder of Forever Fairest, a children’s entertainment company that brings beloved characters and original creations to life across the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area.Esther is a dreamer, adventurer, toddler mom, and self-described 70% hot mess - but beneath the humor lies a story of resilience, reinvention, and relentless creativity. With nearly a decade of experience in performing and entrepreneurship, she has built a company that dispatches princesses and even her own characters (like Princess Sparkle Blossom, a unicorn who travels through a “Starlight Portal” to Earth) to surprise and delight children at parties, hospitals, and community events.In this joyful, unfiltered, and deeply human conversation, Esther spills the tea on:Building a business around magic, performance, and storytellingWhat cosplay and children’s entertainment have taught her about authenticity and imaginationHow she balances motherhood, entrepreneurship, and creativity - with plenty of humor and honestyWhy she believes in “doing it scared” and “cultivating your cringe” as mantras for personal growthThe healing power of solo travel, and how finding “magic in the mundane” became her guiding philosophyFrom performing at children’s hospitals to building a brand that celebrates joy and wonder, Esther’s journey is as heartwarming as it is inspiring. She reminds us that magic isn’t something you find - it’s something you create, even in the chaos of real life.What’s The Tea with Sarah E serves unfiltered conversations with leaders, dreamers, and doers who are living boldly and unapologetically. Esther brings the sparkle, the humor, and the heart.Connect with Esther on Instagram & TikTok: @esthervallinsThat’s today’s tea!
