Bold Like Her Podcast

Fellow Podcaster Alexandra Goresh joins me on this episode! She started hers in 2020, much like this show, with a lot of guests that surround and inspire her! We chat a little bit about getting a podcast off the ground, the on line class she also started during the pandemic to help other stylists, not so much with technique but the other aspects that surround having a person in your chair like communication, psychology and listening! Alexandra has worked for many years at Stilisti Salon in the Back Bay in Boston as a stylist and colorist. Our chat about blonde hair and being honest with clients is pretty funny! Check out her podcast "The Alexandra Show" on spotify and itunes!

My guest on this episode has literally been around the work and back to Boston! She entered the fashion industry very young and had the opportunity to learn from some amazing people at some of the businesses biggest companies!

But that wasn't enough, Michelle surrounds herself with friends who are also very entrepreneurial and inspired her to her goal of owning her own shop in the very mall where she worked when she was young!

She shares the path and the challenges of this past year along with the thumbs up from her parents to live with them again while making all of her dreams come true!

Over the last year I've listened to so many stories of people who have had to close their businesses, struggle to keep it alive or have been laid off. While many have been able to pivot (word of the year) to either shift or go in another direction with their business, still many more have lost so much if not everything. At the same time, there are businesses that have thrived during the pandemic. Network marketing is one of them. My guests on this episode have been able to take a side hustle and turn it into something that they never could have imagined (more than 6 figures in the first year). I speak with Toni & Meridith about their careers up to this point and their involvement with Kannaway, a CBD company.

Happy New Year! My first guest of the year is Victoria Badolato, a certified personal trainer, group fitness instructor (Barre, HIIT, Strength and Indoor Cycling) and lover of all things health and wellness.!

Born and raised in Boston, Ma she started her journey into full time fitness over eight years ago and quickly became a household name for her high energy and no BS approach to fitness.

Victoria trained her first bride to be and the rest is history. She quickly gravitated to the excitement and motivation that comes with all things wedding prep and knew that she wanted to be a part of that process. When she created VBbrides it was important that the program was a learning experience. Six months of self discovery that will give you the tools to maintain the results of your hard work and dedication. A true change of lifestyle and mindset and a new love and appreciation for your body that lasts a lifetime. Through movement, coaching and community her mission is to help you feel like your best, most confident self as you walk down the aisle on your wedding day.

Victoria can also be found enjoying delicious food, traveling, spending time with family and of course taking care of her fur baby Marvin.
