Why do so many hairdressers feel like they can’t take time off?

This week, I’m talking about the hustle mentality we’ve normalized in the beauty industry—working 14-hour days before vacation and 14 more when you get back. I lived most of my career believing time off meant losing clients… but guess what? That’s a lie.

You are worthy of rest.

You are allowed to step away.

And your clients? They want that for you too.

✨ If you’re stuck in the burnout cycle, this one’s for you.

This episode is so special. For the first time ever, I’m bringing the original vision of this podcast to life—interviewing one of my incredible clients while doing her hair.

Jackie isn’t a celebrity, but she’s impacted my life more than she knows. From inspiring me in parenting to encouraging my daughter Sophie to try “wolfing” (which led to a wild adventure on a farm in Arizona!), she’s someone whose story deserves to be heard.

We talk about:

✨ Letting your kids take big leaps

🌀 Parenting through transitions

🏡 Becoming an empty nester

💇🏽‍♀️ And what it looks like to grow alongside our kids—while in the salon chair

Some of the most powerful lessons I’ve learned haven’t come from books or podcasts—but from years of sitting with people, doing their hair, and sharing life.

This is the heart of It’s Not About Your Hair. I hope you’ll tune in and be as inspired by Jackie as I am. Available now on YouTube, Spotify, or wherever you listen. 💛

Welcome back to It’s Not About Your Hair — and to another episode of our It’s Not Your Business mini-series. This week, we’re diving deep into a topic that can completely shift your career behind the chair: niching down.

Whether you’re a stylist, suite owner, or salon entrepreneur, you’ve probably been told to “do it all.” But I’ve learned that true growth comes from narrowing your focus—not widening it.

In this episode, I’ll walk you through:

✨ Why niching down doesn’t mean limiting yourself—it means unlocking your freedom

✨ How to find your passion within the beauty industry (even if you feel like you love everything)

✨ The difference between chasing trends and building a brand

✨ What niching has taught me about charging my worth, building trust, and creating a sustainable business

You don’t have to be everything to everyone. You just have to be exceptional at what lights you up.

If you’re in a season of trying to figure out your next step, or you’re ready to build a business that feels like you, this one’s for you.

In Episode 47 of It’s Not About Your Hair, I’m getting real and raw about something that hits deep—rejection. This episode is a personal one, where I share how work-related rejection and a couple of mean social media comments stirred up old wounds, causing me to shrink back from love, connection, and showing up fully.

Even if you’re not online, we all face moments when we internalize the one negative voice over the many positive ones. They say it takes seven affirmations to cancel out one criticism—but in a world where we often talk harshly to ourselves, it can feel like a mountain to climb.

I share how I caught myself seeking external affirmation instead of turning inward, and how I’m learning to anchor my worth in something deeper. Because the truth is: rejection often protects us, redirects us, and teaches us. But only when we choose to heal and stop believing the lie that we’re not enough.

Let this be your reminder—you are worthy, you are loved, and you don’t need outside approval to believe that.
