In this powerful episode of Stylist Soul Tribe Conversations, I’m joined by the incredible Jodie Brown — second-generation stylist turned brand strategist, educator mentor, and founder of Align Creative Co. Jodie shares her raw, real journey from life behind the chair to building a sought-after global education brand. We dive into the emotional pivot that changed everything, how she walked away at her peak, and why branding — not just better hair photos — is the true key to standing out in today’s saturated beauty industry.
