She Makes Waves

In this episode, I dive into the unexpected twists and turns of life and why they're actually the moments we remember most. From unsuccessful hiring attempts to chaotic outings with my kid, I share how embracing the unpredictability of life can lead to some of the most memorable experiences. I discuss the importance of building resilience through micro-moments of frustration and how laughter and sharing our stories with the right people can turn even the most challenging situations into hilarious anecdotes. So if you're someone who's ever felt like things should've gone differently or struggled to find humor in life's mishaps, this episode is for you. Tune in for some laughs, relatable stories, and a reminder to trust in the divine plan of life.

In this episode, I discuss a personal revelation that's been simmering in my mind for a while. Join me as I share the analogy of "settling for the chicken" and explore the societal pressures we face, particularly as women, to accept what's on offer without questioning if it truly satisfies us. Drawing from my own experiences and those of my clients, I discuss the importance of acknowledging our desires, even when they diverge from societal norms. Through introspection and curiosity, we can uncover the patterns that lead us to settle and strive for a life that aligns with our authentic selves. Tune in for a candid conversation that encourages self-reflection and empowers you to embrace your true desires.

In this episode, I reflect on a recurring theme I've encountered throughout my career – the difference between being an actor and embodying character. From my days at Dairy Queen to my time at prestigious salons, I've observed individuals who excel at acting and those who consistently demonstrate character. The actor may impress initially, but their facade eventually crumbles, leaving behind only their true character. Conversely, those with genuine character withstand the test of time, earning respect and recognition through their consistent actions and integrity. Drawing from personal experiences, I share how I've learned to distinguish between the two and the impact it's had on my professional journey. Despite challenges in attracting employees of character, I've gained clarity and perspective, recognizing the importance of surrounding myself with genuine individuals. Join me as I navigate through this journey of self-discovery and continue to strive for authenticity in every aspect of my life.

In this episode, I talk about the age-old dilemma: should hairstylists prioritize being first, fast, or correct? As a salon owner and seasoned hairstylist, I've navigated these priorities throughout my career. I discuss the importance of finding balance and staying true to your salon's promise, whether it's speed, precision, or innovation. Drawing inspiration from Seth Godin's wisdom, I explore the challenges and rewards of each approach, offering insights for fellow stylists and salon owners. Join me as I share personal anecdotes, practical tips, and reflections on the art of hairstyling. Whether you're seeking guidance on salon management, honing your craft, or embracing your unique salon identity, this episode has something for you. Tune in and let's elevate our salon game together!

In this episode, we tackle one of the most important decisions – when, someday, to let go. When do you hold on, and when do you let go? How do you know if you have lived your life well? How do you navigate the uncertainty of not knowing what the right path is, and how do you know when you’ve missed the signs all along? You know what you’re supposed to do, you know what you need to do. You might not always know how to do it, but you know what you need to do. If it brings you joy, you’re always drawn to it. And if you’re drawn towards it, it makes life a bit more easy.

In this episode, I'm diving into the concept of change and life's ebbs and flows using the analogy of ocean tides and waves. We chat about embracing different seasons in life, from podcasting highs to finding our true voice. I share personal moments of self-discovery and growth, from juggling multiple businesses to learning to let go of control. We reflect on how impactful our actions can be, even if we don't realize it. The episode wraps up with a heartwarming message about trusting the journey and finding beauty in life's symphony of highs and lows. Join me on this reflective journey filled with wisdom and gratitude!

We get real about the universal quest for validation and societal pressures to conform. The heart of the discussion revolves around the beauty of not fully knowing the impact we have on others and situations.
