This week, Julie and MaryAnn dive into the three leadership decisions you shouldn't make in December — the ones that protect your sanity, your team, and your 2026 vision. From resisting last-minute system changes, to refusing to lead from exhaustion, to letting December be a month of observation rather than pressure, this episode helps spa owners and leaders navigate the busiest month with clarity, intention, and calm.
