We dig into why money feels scary, why software isn’t the same as mastery, and how three simple metrics can calm your nervous system and guide better decisions. Confidence rises before revenue when you track weekly and decide by quarterly averages.

• client testimonial on business growth 
• new year focus on money habits and tracking 
• psychology of avoidance and nervous system stress 
• difference between software data and knowing 
• three core metrics to write down weekly 
• benefits of quarterly averages over single weeks 
• systems and self-leadership for solos and teams 
• simple accountability to build the tracking habit 
• upcoming coaching call and bookkeeper deep dive

Guys, I have a simple tracking sheet that is a really basic one. Just to get you started, you can click it in the show notes below. I will leave a link for it in the show notes below. Use it, mess it up, come back to it. It doesn't even matter. The goal is just to get started. 
Remember, software is not leadership, and hope cannot be your next business plan either. 
Please subscribe and leave me a review. This show exists to help estheticians stop guessing. And those reviews help other estheticians find it.

Korean skincare isn’t just a trend; it’s a smarter system that puts barrier health first and saves your clients from the strip-and-fix cycle. We sit down with Angela Jia Kim—concert-pianist-turned-founder of Savor Beauty—to unpack the rituals behind glass skin, why hydration leads and exfoliation follows, and how clean, concentrated formulas can transform both outcomes and retail.

Angela shares the origin story that pushed her into formulation, then opens up her playbook: a five-step, thinnest-to-thickest routine that clients can actually follow, micro-exfoliation that renews without wrecking the barrier, and two hero ingredients every pro should master—niacinamide for brightening and resilience, and ginseng for circulation and collagen support. We dig into small-batch, nontoxic preservation, fragrance-free options for sensitive guests, and how fresh manufacturing elevates texture, absorption, and trust at the backbar.

Beyond skin, we get real about business. Angela’s take is unapologetic: sales keep the lights on, and selling is an act of service. She walks through her LOVER sales system, reframes marketing as a themed party your clients want to join, and offers practical ways to translate spa magic into daily rituals clients will repeat. If you’ve wondered how to add Korean skincare to your menu, elevate your retail mix, and talk about products without feeling pushy, you’ll leave with scripts, strategies, and a new lens on glow that lasts.

Ready to rethink your routine and your revenue? Listen now, subscribe for more expert interviews, and share your biggest takeaway or ingredient question with us. If you love the show, leave a quick review—your feedback helps more estheticians find these conversations.  To learn more about Savor Beauty visit Angela here https://www.angelajiakim.com/ or on IG Savor Beauty Instagram (@savorbeauty)

The rebook looks perfect… until the cancellation hits the day before. If you’ve felt that gut punch after a model appointment, you’re not alone. We unpack the real reason behind the pattern and show how to turn “free” into loyal with simple systems that work in the real world.

We start by dismantling a costly myth: models are not paying clients, and the psychology is different. Without financial skin in the game, perceived value drops and commitment fades. Rather than ditch models, we reframe them as structured training experiences with expectations, accountability, and documentation. You’ll learn how to log rebooks and cancellations, spot timing patterns, and test changes like a scientist so you can fix the right problem fast.

Then we tackle the sneaky trigger hiding in plain sight—your reminder messages. Neutral prompts like “Reply C to cancel or R to confirm” invite an easy out. We share human, progress‑oriented scripts that connect to client goals and reduce cancellations by anchoring the next visit to momentum and results. From there, we fill the biggest gap of all: the silent weeks between appointments. Handwritten thank‑yous, quick post‑treatment check‑ins, product refill nudges, and mailed newsletters build trust, keep you top of mind, and shift models from casual to committed. We also outline a practical retention mindset for non‑rebookers so you can “build a fence” around future demand without sounding salesy.

If you’re ready to reduce last‑minute cancellations and convert models into paying regulars, this playbook gives you the scripts, tracking steps, and between‑visit touchpoints to make it happen. Subscribe for weekly strategies, share this with a beauty pro who needs it, and leave a quick review to help others find the show.
