We’re excited to introduce a brand-new series on the Beyond the Shears podcast: The Spotlight Series. In this series, we feature grooming business owners and dive deep into their personal journeys in the pet grooming industry — the highs, the challenges, and the winding road that led them to opening their own shops. These conversations are honest, heartfelt, and sometimes filled with surprising moments that offer both inspiration and real-world insights.

In this first Spotlight episode, we sit down with Sara Medina of Complete Canine Pet Spa. Sara shares her story with incredible honesty, reflecting on the experiences that shaped her career and the lessons she’s learned along the way. From laughs to tears (and even a little tea spilled), this episode is packed with wisdom for grooming business owners and anyone curious about the behind-the-scenes world of pet grooming. Thank you to Sara for joining us and sharing her powerful journey.
