In this episode, Misty gets vulnerable about what it really looks like to build a career in education and coaching as a hairstylist — beyond what Instagram shows you. She breaks down the messy middle, the insecurities, the backwards steps, and the slow-burn confidence that has shaped her journey over the past six years.

Perfect for:

Hairstylists, salon owners, independent educators, new coaches in the beauty industry, and anyone trying to figure out if they’re “behind” (spoiler: you’re not).

As hairstylists and salon owners, clients trust us with more than their hair — they trust us with their stories, emotions, and vulnerability. But being a true “safe space” doesn’t just happen. It’s a skill. And for many of us? It's a skill we were not taught.

In today’s episode, Misty breaks down four powerful communication shifts that transformed her from a reactive communicator into the grounded, emotionally-intelligent coach and leader she is today. Whether you're navigating heavy conversations with clients, building stronger relationships with your team, or improving communication at home — these skills will change how you show up.

In this conversation, Misty breaks down what consistency really looks like — not perfection, not hustle, not “do the most every day.” Real, sustainable consistency that builds trust with your clients, your audience, your business, and yourself.

Whether you’re behind the chair, growing your visibility, building a salon team, or trying to stick to your money plan… this episode gives you permission to show up imperfectly — and still create results.
