From The Outside In

This week’s episode was recorded from our renovated CHARLES PENZONE INCORPORATED Innovation Office, housed at the first Charles Penzone Grand Salon which opened back in 1991!

We spotlight two much-loved team members, Michelle, our PENZONE recruiter, and Dustin, the shift coordinator at PENZONE Gahanna. I find out what inspired them to work here and why, from their perspective, our brand is so unique and special from the inside out. We’ll discuss their ever-evolving roles within the salon and the lessons they’ve learned while being part of our team. Stay tuned until the end, where you’ll hear from Emma – a star intern who is so enthusiastic about getting a headstart on her career here at PENZONE Salon + Spas.

Jess Sparks, Executive Director of Girls on the Run of Central Ohio, has spent the last decade helping girls hit the ground running by creating mindfulness through movement and mentorship.

This incredibly inspiring non-profit has transformed the lives of so many girls – and coaches (myself included) – who learn how to navigate their physical environment, inner-landscape, and relationships with friends and family. 

I run through the ins and outs of their fantastic 12-step program which strives to empower girls to fulfill their potential, whatever their ability level, one step at a time.

Life coach and executive coach, Regan Walsh, beams her light and love to a life-affirming conversation on how to tune into your core desires by listening to your gut. 

Regan knows how to do this first hand, after walking away from a corporate job four days into the role – mid-meeting, no less! Her spontaneous decision to abandon the “safety net” of a “stable” job primed her for her current role as an executive life coach and author of her first book, “Heart Boss.”  Now she helps hundreds of women hone in on their gifts and life purpose. 

We delve into her fascinating story and the transformations that have shaped her thriving business and sense of self. Then we explore how you can untangle yourself from a web of shoulda-woulda-coulda and start living your best life right now!

In this episode, I connect with Miranda Boyle, owner of lifestyle boutique Thread, one of my favorite fashion spots in Columbus, Ohio. This consciously curated concept store gives much more than a regular retail shopping experience. Today, we learn why supporting the community and small businesses means just as much to them as the items in the boutique

Since moving to their brand new location last summer, Miranda and her fantastic team have been hosting (COVID-19 friendly) events with food vendors, artists, and the local community coming together to celebrate fashion and art in one beautifully designed space.

We discuss the upcoming trends for the summer season, the designers stocked for this coming fall, and how she elevated the shopping experience so every visitor feels a million bucks. Plus, upcoming events and fundraisers you need to mark on your calendar.

In this episode, I connect with Mazz Hanna, an A-list celebrity manicurist and founder of a line of CBD + crystal elixirs coined after her own namesake, Mazz Hanna. She shares why and how she left her lucrative career in advertising to dedicate herself to her two biggest passions: crystals and nails! 

Her serendipitous jump into the beauty world and spiritually elevated approach to the manicure experience has generated some serious star-pulling power. She’s done nails for the likes of celebrities, such as Julia Roberts, Emma Roberts, Halsey, and Selma Blair. Now, she has created  luxurious, self-care rituals for everyone to experience at home (or your favorite salon), with a line of crystal-infused elixirs that will boost your vibes and make you feel truly fabulous. 

We delve into the juicy details of her high-quality curated range of products and discuss how to intertwine crystal and chakra healing with your daily beauty routine.
