Listen, baddie—if managing a team makes you wanna scream into a pillow, you’re not alone. Hiring, onboarding, and keeping employees happy (without losing your mind) is a whole damn art form. And in retail? Whew, it’s a different beast entirely.

This week on The Embodied Baddie Podcast, Chrystal is breaking down exactly how to build a team that doesn’t drain your energy, stress you out, or have you questioning all your life choices. Because a thriving biz starts with a thriving team—period.

🛍️ Your Employees’ Happiness = More Sales – Spoiler: miserable employees don’t create magic for your customers. Let’s fix that.

💡 Stop Filling Positions & Start Building Careers – You don’t just need warm bodies on payroll—you need ride-or-die team members who actually care. Here’s how to make that happen.

🚀 Onboarding Shouldn’t Feel Like a Dumpster Fire – Want employees to stick around? Stop tossing them into the deep end with no floaties.

⚡ Core Values That Aren’t Just Corporate BS – If your business values don’t mean anything to your team, they’re useless. Let’s fix that, too.

🔥 Fix Your Onboarding Process – No more “figure it out” vibes—give your new hires a game plan.
