It’s exhausting. It slows down your business. And honestly? It makes you feel like you’re carrying the whole damn thing on your own shoulders.

The truth is, assumptions are killing your leadership. You assume your team knows what to do, that they remember what you taught them months ago, and that common sense is, well, common. But it’s not. And that’s where the breakdown happens.

In this episode, I’m sharing a leadership lesson I learned the hard way—while painting my kitchen. Because just like in your salon, a little bit of extra communication and planning up front can save you a whole lot of frustration later on.

You don’t have to keep repeating yourself, micromanaging, or feeling like the only one who can do things right. Tune in and find out how to lead your team with clarity, confidence, and ease.

 

Learn why your team isn’t performing the way you want—and what’s really missing.

Discover the key mistake you’re making that’s creating more work for everyone (including yourself).

Find out the simple leadership shift that will set your team up for success and make your business run smoother.

As a stylist or therapist, you build deep, trusted relationships with your clients. You see them at their most vulnerable, hear their personal stories, and sometimes, notice things that others don’t.

But what if you suspect something is wrong? What if a client—or even a team member—is silently struggling with something far more serious than just a bad day?

Domestic abuse is more common than you think, and during this episode, we’re diving into the crucial role salon owners and professionals can play in being a safe space for those who need it most.

Our guest, Liz McKeon, shares how she became the UK and Irish ambassador for Shearhaven—a program designed to train salon professionals on recognizing the signs of domestic abuse. More importantly, she reveals why this matters now more than ever.

This conversation isn’t easy, but it’s necessary. If you want to be more than just a salon owner and truly make a difference in people’s lives, this episode is a must-listen.

Learn why salons are a powerful safe haven for those experiencing domestic abuse.

Discover the hidden signs that someone might be in danger—even if they’re not saying a word.

Understand the simple but critical steps you can take to offer support without overstepping your role.
