In this episode of the Pet Groomer Community Podcast, Lexi is joined by Certified Money Coach (CMC)©️, cognitive hypnotherapist and money mindset specialist Fanny Snaith for an open and relatable conversation about money, habits, and self-belief.

They explore why so many business owners struggle financially despite earning well, and why money challenges are often rooted in mindset, childhood messages, and identity rather than numbers alone. Through honest reflection and real-life examples, the conversation covers debt cycles, spending habits, savings, pensions, and the emotional side of money that many people avoid talking about.

Fanny introduces the concept of the Money Types, helping listeners recognise what’s really driving their financial decisions and how to move towards more conscious, empowered choices. This episode is compassionate, practical, and reassuring — perfect for anyone who wants to feel more in control of their money without shame or overwhelm.

Lexi and Jo are finally back together for a long-overdue catch-up, starting with a debrief of the Pet Pro Expo 2025 and why events like this are so important for pet professionals. They share their key takeaways on pricing, mindset, marketing, pensions, and running a sustainable business — not just surviving one.

The conversation quickly turns honest as they talk about rising costs, VAT pressure, constant price increases, and the reality of feeling financially stretched in the current climate. They discuss charging your worth, losing clients, and why putting prices up is no longer optional.

They also dive into December burnout, slipping boundaries, physical exhaustion, and the long-term impact grooming can have on your body and motivation. With humour and real talk, they explore burnout, diversification, and whether it’s okay to want something different after years in the industry.

A relatable, reassuring episode for any groomer or pet professional who’s feeling tired, stuck, or ready for change — and a reminder that you’re not alone.

Jo is joined by Sophie James (The Kitty Cat Club) and Francesca de Bernart for a fascinating chat about cat-only grooming, community support, and the surprising value of saved cat hair. Sophie shares her 20-year journey through the grooming industry, her shift to a thriving cat-only salon, and the success of her Cat Groomer Map, helping owners find trusted groomers nationwide.

Francesca explains how groomers can earn money by collecting unwashed cat hair, which is used to create a drug designed to help people with severe cat allergies. Together, the trio explore industry growth, mental health realities, collaboration over competition, and how a simple salon system can turn cat hair into both income and impact.

A warm and insightful episode for cat groomers, students, and anyone curious about the future of feline care.
