One topic that I do not see talked about enough in the beauty industry is taking maternity leave! This can be a nerve wracking thing to take an extended period of time off as a self-employed person. In this episode I shared my experiences with lashing while pregnant, taking maternity leave, ways to get clients back in the door when you come back to work, and just overall how to plan and be prepared for it effectively, so that you can enjoy your time off with your sweet new babe. 
Whether you are currently pregnant or thinking about starting a family, this will be a great episode for you to start thinking ahead and being proactive about it! If any of your beauty biz friends are expecting or wondering about this topic, please share this one with them :)

63. Spilling the Tea about Lash Biz Babes Online Conference

In this week's episode, you get to hear from one of my favorite people in our industry, Miss Jazzy!!! Today she shares her story of following her dreams to go into the beauty industry, how she transitioned from managing a franchise studio to going out on her own, what advice she would give you if you're wanting to do the same, how to keep moving forward when things get hard, and more! 


Her successful transition into going solo is a real life example of what can happen when you go all in, work hard, invest in your education and growth, and keep believing in yourself no matter what.


It brings up this question: What can happen for you if you had 6 months of self-discipline and sticking to your goals no matter what? A lot can happen with just one decision!
