India Dunn and Company - Burnout Prevention for the Beauty Expert

In this conversation I’m speaking with Dr. Lara Langdon. She is a doctor of physical therapy, orthopedic specialist and has 20+ years of experience studying the human body.

The past 10 years she’s been exploring the inner workings of the body, shaping her unique view of the body and has elevated her skill set in addressing difficult and complex cases.

Her work is intuitive and grounded in the belief that we are empowered physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually when we can be supported to heal.

She shares her simple yet effective tools for beginning a healing journey and innovative ways to support your path.

This is the first episode of a series of conversations I will be having with healers, visionaries, leaders of thought, and experts in life’s unique expression.

In this episode I bring you Melanie Weller, Vagus nerve expert, physical therapist and medical intuitive. Beyond what is on paper she is multi faceted with mysticism, astrology and a deep understanding of the language of the body and the stories that it can tell her. Sometimes called the body whisperer Melanie brings us a full spectrum view of how she treats the wholeness of the individuals she cares for in her practice.

It has been my experience that it only takes a few breaths to come home to center, to come home to the bodies capacity to heal. Just 10 minutes of meditation allows self compassion to guide us back to center when life feels unstable. I will guide you into breath and grounded enlightenment in this simple meditation. My hope is that it will give you some comfort in these tumultuous times. - Your selfcare advocate, India

A look back at 2019, the intensity of our current times and looking forward to our endeavors for 2020.

Kara Richard has been one of my Insta faves for quite some time. I have loved watching her embody who she is online and off as her career and community has expanded.

As a sister on the same path to bring awareness and more support to our industry, her independent education has become more focused on the whole human.

She is creating space in the work place and outside for hairdressers to get treated to mind, body and spirit support and enlightenment.

Thank you for this wonderful chat Kara,

I truly love who you are for us here and now.

A long awaited conversation with Brenda Amaral reveals more about her work, her life and inspiration. Being a ABCH Certified hair colorist she has gained an insight into how knowledge empowers and inspires. How it gives beauty professionals what they need to be able to use any color line and feel confident. Giving back to our industry is her motivation and inspiration as she shares her experience and expertise behind the chair, on the stage and in the salon. She speaks of her journey of clearing a path from distractions and unhealthy habits to make room to create more of the life she desires. Brenda has been a cheerleader and an inspiration to me and continues to be that for so many in her community! Thank you my friend!

In this vibrant conversation with Bri we get right to it. Fast pace life in the salon, behind the camera and on the stage and what that can lead to: burnout and evolution. Bri gets right into the causes and conditions of her burnout and how it a molded her new path to awareness, self love and how she cares for herself and her community. Her evolution out of the realizations show how what we thought was the worst thing at the time creates needed expansion for our true purpose.

In the forth episode of the series I bring the idea of reward being non material, non consumption, and non compensation (in private, aka "you don't get to boast" or get paid).

I have found that the kind of reward and replenishing that fills the internal well beyond a new shiny toy, a sweetie treat, or a big glass of wine is a non negotiable for well being. You can feel the reward of being of service, you can feel reward in movement. You can feel reward in being in action for your well being. As always I hope you gain insight into your own personal journey towards wholeness, and inspiration for your creativity. Thank you for listening!

Teresa Tran of Treat LA speaks with me about her creativity, motivation and intentions. For her being a beauty professional gives her an amazing opportunity to express her artistic nature and her deep desire to nurture. Having a beautiful space that she has cultivated and opened to her patrons brings her even more joy and inspiration. I loved this conversation and hope you will too.

Kara Richard aka Santa Barbara balayage brings truth and her beautiful voice to this episode. Having moved across country to be in the California sunshine Kara discovers more than just a talent for painting hair, she discovers her creative force and what she’s capable of manifesting. She shares her journey to a path behind the chair, salon ownership, and her love of being in community with a team of stylists committed to growing together. Excited for plans to bring health and wellbeing to hairdressers on a path to deepening she tells of her collaboration for future events to come.
