How Teaching Saved My Business During Tough Times

Season 3 · Episode 47

Friday, October 24, 2025 • Duration 27:17

Send us a text

In this week’s episode, I’m getting really honest about one of the hardest seasons of my career — when bookings slowed down, I felt completely lost, and I wasn’t sure what was next for my beauty business.

It was teaching that completely changed everything for me. It gave me purpose again, helped me fall back in love with the industry, and turned what felt like a struggle into something so much more powerful.

Whether you’re feeling stuck, burnt out, or just craving a new direction, this episode will remind you that it’s never too late to pivot and grow.

💭 We’ll chat about:
✨ The reality of burnout in the beauty industry
✨ How I discovered teaching (and doubted myself at first)
✨ The life-changing lessons I’ve learned as an educator
✨ Why sharing your skills could be the next big chapter in your business

And make sure you listen to the end, because I drop a little hint about something exciting I’ve been working on for my future educators 👀💖

Send us a text

We all have those quiet months — when the salon slows down, bookings dip, and panic starts to creep in. But what if I told you this could actually be the best time for your business?

In this week’s episode, I’m sharing my personal approach to handling quiet seasons without the stress — and how to use them as an opportunity to refresh, rebrand, and realign.

Here’s what we’ll chat about:
💭 Why quiet periods are normal and nothing to panic about
💅 How to use this time to refresh your treatments and skills
📲 Ways to create social media content that keeps your audience engaged
📚 Courses, online learning and skill-building ideas for beauty pros
🧠 The mindset shift that stops you spiralling when things slow down
💌 Why your marketing now determines your bookings later

Whether you’re in your salon every day or working from home, this episode will help you see slow season in a whole new light — and help you feel productive, confident, and in control again.

When Life Feels Like Chaos - Being Self Employed!

Season 3 · Episode 45

Friday, October 10, 2025 • Duration 32:25

Send us a text

This week’s episode is a little different — it’s raw, real, and straight from the heart.

I’ve been feeling super overwhelmed lately, so I took a couple of days away from social media to just breathe and reset. Being self-employed means constantly wearing a thousand hats — business owner, mum, friend, partner, cleaner, accountant, content creator… it’s a lot.

In this episode, I talk about:
💭 The reality of managing business, life, and parenthood
💭 Why burnout can creep in even when you love what you do
💭 The pressure to keep showing up online
💭 And how I’m learning to give myself grace when things feel chaotic

If you’ve ever sat there thinking, “I can’t do this anymore,” this is your reminder that you absolutely can — you just need to pause, breathe, and give yourself space to find your balance again.

The Hidden Costs of Fresha - and Online Booking Systems

Season 3 · Episode 44

Friday, October 3, 2025 • Duration 31:15

Send us a text

This week we’re diving into the topic that’s had beauty business owners divided – Fresha.

After one of my TikTok videos went viral, I knew I had to bring the conversation onto the podcast and go deeper into what Fresha actually offers, what’s free, what costs extra, and whether it’s worth it for your salon.

I’ll be breaking down:

The truth about Fresha’s “free” tools (and why they’re game changing)
The hidden costs and commission fees
How it stacks up against card machines, manual reminders, and hiring a receptionist
Why I think so many people moan about it, when it actually saves you time and money

This isn’t sponsored – just my honest thoughts and experiences using it in my own beauty business.

If you’ve ever felt confused, frustrated, or just curious about Fresha, this episode will clear it all up.

🎧 Tune in now and then come and join the conversation on my viral TikTok – I’d love to hear your perspective!

Are Business Coaches BS?

Season 3 · Episode 42

Friday, September 19, 2025 • Duration 35:08

Send us a text

This week I’m spilling the tea on a topic I know so many of you have been side-eyeing… are business coaches actually BS? 👀

I dive into:
💡 The red flags to look out for when choosing a mentor or coach
💡 Why transparency is everything (and why you deserve the truth, not a filtered version of success)
💡 The difference between someone selling a dream vs. someone giving you real strategy
💡 How to make sure you’re investing in the right support for YOUR goals

I’m all about keeping it real and helping you grow your beauty business in a way that feels good, sustainable and actually profitable.

Gel polish is banned! …or is it? Why sensational headlines hurt clients and our industry.

Season 3 · Episode 41

Friday, September 5, 2025 • Duration 28:41

Send us a text

Today I’m clearing up the “gel polish is banned” headlines. Spoiler: it isn’t — the EU has banned one ingredient (TPO) in cosmetics from 1 Sept 2025, and brands are already reformulating. In the UK, a similar move is expected in due course (industry guidance currently points to around 2027), so we’ll transition sensibly — no drama needed. I’m sharing simple client talking points, salon policies, and easy content ideas so you can educate confidently and keep our industry strong. 💅✨

Are you as successful as everyone else?

Do You Really Need More?

At the start of this year, I was ready to walk away from the beauty industry.
I told myself once my salon lease was up, that was it—I wanted a bigger house, a nicer car, more money, and I didn’t believe beauty could give me that.

But here’s the truth… I was chasing something I didn’t actually need. Social media has a funny way of making us feel like we’re not successful unless we’re constantly “scaling” or jumping on the coaching bandwagon. And at one point, I even questioned if I could keep teaching others to grow their beauty businesses when deep down I felt like leaving mine.

This episode is a real and raw chat about:
✨ Why I almost left the beauty industry
✨ How comparison and social media pressure can steal your joy
✨ The moment I re-found my passion for beauty
✨ Why chasing more isn’t always the answer
✨ And how success is whatever you decide it looks like

If you’ve been feeling like you’re “not enough” or that you need to constantly be chasing more, this one is going to feel like a big breath of fresh air.
