What if the thing keeping you stuck at your current revenue level isn't a lack of skill, but your inability to let go?

In this episode of Spa Marketing Made Easy, Daniela tackles one of the biggest challenges spa owners face: delegating without fear. If you've ever told yourself "it's faster to just do it myself" or "no one can do it as well as I can," this episode will shift your perspective on what's actually costing you time, revenue, and peace of mind.

You'll discover why delegation feels so scary, how to dismantle the four biggest fears that keep you stuck, and the critical mindset shifts that separate overworked providers from confident Spa CEOs.

What you'll learn during this episode:

• The real cost of NOT delegating (hint: it's more than just time)

• Why "no one can do it as well as me" is actually costing you quality

• How to shift client relationships without losing connection

• The opportunity cost of "it's faster to do it myself"

• What to do when your team makes mistakes (because they will)

• The mindset shift from technician to CEO

• One actionable step to start delegating this week

What if the only thing standing between you and your next level of success is your willingness to be uncomfortable?

In this powerful episode to kick off 2026, Daniela pulls back the curtain on her personal growth journey and shares why she's committing to a year of being "open" to opportunities that genuinely scare her. From speaking at a 500-person conference in Vegas to hosting intimate CEO intensives to manning a booth at the massive Javits Center trade show in New York, she's doing things that push every single one of her "I'd rather not" buttons.

But here's why it matters for YOUR business: the spa owners who thrive in the next 3 to 5 years won't be the most experienced; they'll be the ones who adapt fastest, test boldly, and pivot when needed. Your business will only grow as much as you're willing to grow.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Why choosing a single word (instead of resolutions) creates a powerful decision-making filter

• The difference between honoring boundaries and hiding behind them

• How in-person connections create ripple effects that virtual meetings can't replicate

• Why AI and rapid industry changes favor those who act with speed over those who wait

• The specific uncomfortable commitments Daniela is making in Q1 (and why they matter)

• How to identify the one thing you're avoiding that would genuinely move your business forward
