Licensed massage therapist Alex Harned joins Tiffany Anton for a conversation that feels like equal parts business story, life philosophy, and holiday-week humor. From building a client-based practice in Cookeville after years of commuting from Nashville, to choosing relationship-driven work over “massage factory” models, Alex shares what it looks like to curate a career with freedom, boundaries, and real joy.

They talk entrepreneurship without the buzzwords, why community matters (and why Powered by Her played a role in Alex getting established locally), and what it means to work smart as your body starts giving you honest feedback. Along the way: travel stories, hustle-culture reflections, stress and health, a little faith, and the mystery of “two and a half cats.”
