In this episode, I discuss a personal revelation that's been simmering in my mind for a while. Join me as I share the analogy of "settling for the chicken" and explore the societal pressures we face, particularly as women, to accept what's on offer without questioning if it truly satisfies us. Drawing from my own experiences and those of my clients, I discuss the importance of acknowledging our desires, even when they diverge from societal norms. Through introspection and curiosity, we can uncover the patterns that lead us to settle and strive for a life that aligns with our authentic selves. Tune in for a candid conversation that encourages self-reflection and empowers you to embrace your true desires.

In this episode, I reflect on a recurring theme I've encountered throughout my career – the difference between being an actor and embodying character. From my days at Dairy Queen to my time at prestigious salons, I've observed individuals who excel at acting and those who consistently demonstrate character. The actor may impress initially, but their facade eventually crumbles, leaving behind only their true character. Conversely, those with genuine character withstand the test of time, earning respect and recognition through their consistent actions and integrity. Drawing from personal experiences, I share how I've learned to distinguish between the two and the impact it's had on my professional journey. Despite challenges in attracting employees of character, I've gained clarity and perspective, recognizing the importance of surrounding myself with genuine individuals. Join me as I navigate through this journey of self-discovery and continue to strive for authenticity in every aspect of my life.

Drawing inspiration from Seth Godin's wisdom, I explore the challenges and rewards of each approach, offering insights for fellow stylists and salon owners.

Whether you're seeking guidance on salon management, honing your craft, or embracing your unique salon identity, this episode has something for you.

In this episode, we tackle one of the most important decisions – when, someday, to let go. When do you hold on, and when do you let go? How do you know if you have lived your life well? How do you navigate the uncertainty of not knowing what the right path is, and how do you know when you’ve missed the signs all along? You know what you’re supposed to do, you know what you need to do. You might not always know how to do it, but you know what you need to do. If it brings you joy, you’re always drawn to it. And if you’re drawn towards it, it makes life a bit more easy.
