If you’re juggling a full salon, a booked client schedule, DMs, team drama, color orders, laundry, walk-ins, phone calls, and somehow trying to remember to pee and eat lunch… this episode is going to feel like a deep exhale.

I know that feeling of having 462 tabs open in your brain while wondering, “Why am I so forgetful? Am I getting old? What is happening?”

You’re not alone. Every salon owner I know is asked to hold a thousand things at once and without the right systems, it’s impossible to keep up.

This episode is the one I wish I had years ago. I’m sharing the exact time management strategies, boundaries, and habits that truly SAVED my sanity and my business while I was still behind the chair. These are the tools that helped me stop drowning in overwhelm and start leading with clarity, intention, and confidence.

Why This Episode Matters

Time management isn’t just “being organized.” It’s the foundation of:

• Hitting your goals
• Leading your team
• Protecting your energy
• Keeping your business profitable
• Actually enjoying your life outside the salon
• And reducing that constant mental load you carry every single day

Inside this episode, I share my personal turning point, the moment I realized my lack of boundaries was costing me more than time. It was costing me memories with my husband and kids. I’ll walk you through how I rebuilt my days, my routines, and my mindset so I could show up fully for my family and my business.

What You’ll Learn

This episode breaks down the three exact strategies that changed everything for me:

1. My Ideal Week Framework:
How to plan your week around your energy, your responsibilities, and the work that actually moves your business forward. 

2. The Daily Big 3:
Why your 119-item to-do list is failing you… and how choosing three intentional tasks can completely change your productivity and your mindset.

3. Work Day Startup & Shutdown Rituals:
The rhythms that keep me grounded and help me start every day with clarity and end every day without chaos hanging over my head.

I also walk through my three non-negotiable boundaries (word-for-word), how we use ClickUp to stay organized, the power of saying “no,” and the tiny habits that create massive momentum.

If You’re Feeling Scattered, Overwhelmed, or Behind…

This episode will help you reset, refocus, and rebuild your time with intention. You’ll walk away with clear action steps you can implement TODAY to feel more organized, more productive, and more in control of your business and life.

How you use your hours determines the success of your business.

Salon owners who manage their time well not only grow their income and their teams, they create a life outside the salon they never thought was possible.
