Ever make a big, exciting plan for your salon, only to feel weeks later like you’ve made zero progress? You’re not alone. That used to be me too. I’d get fired up, set a dozen goals, and then feel crushed when real life got in the way. In this episode, I’m sharing the unexpected shift that changed everything for me: choosing just one focus per year and building everything else around that. You’ll hear how I filter new ideas, how my team plans projects now, and why this simple structure brought me real momentum and peace. Feeling stuck or scattered? This one’s for you.

Ever found yourself hanging out at the colour bar, having a laugh with your team...then getting frustrated the next day when things aren’t done?

It’s tempting to be the “cool boss.” Friendly. Approachable. Loved.

But are you leading or just being liked? In this episode, I’m unpacking the blurred lines between being close to your team and accidentally giving your power away. Sharing personal stories, lessons I’ve learned the hard way, and what I do now to keep the balance clear.

He runs restaurants. I run salons. And somehow, we run a life together. In today’s episode, I sit down with my husband for an honest, funny, and real conversation about what it’s like to be in a relationship where both people are leaders. We cover business lessons, communication, culture, and how we support each other... even when we’re both flat out.

The shifts that made me a strong, calm, respected leader didn’t happen overnight.

They were slow. Quiet. Almost invisible until I looked back and realised how far I’d come. In this episode, I reflect on how I used to lead with emotion, frustration, and a need to feel appreciated. And how I slowly became a leader I’m proud of.

Now my team runs the business without me. And while that’s what I always wanted, it also brings up unexpected feelings—feeling less needed, and noticing old patterns try to creep back in. If you’re on the path to becoming the leader you want to be, this one will land.

You’ve given them the perks. The birthdays off. The pizza nights. You’ve been kind, transparent, even vulnerable. So why are they still leaving? If you’re trying everything to build a happy team but something still isn’t sticking, this one’s for you. We’re talking about the real reason perks aren’t culture… and what actually keeps people loyal.
