  • The Power of Letting Go: Why Elimination Creates Freedom
    Sep 26 2025

    Are you holding onto things that no longer serve you — in your salon, your business, or your life?

    In this episode, I dive into the power of elimination and why true growth doesn’t come from adding more, but from letting go. As salon owners and as women in our 40s, it’s easy to cling to what feels safe and comfortable. But comfort isn’t progress — and sometimes the very things we’re afraid to release are the ones keeping us stuck.

    I share my own journey of letting go — from outdated services in my salon to limiting beliefs I carried in my personal life — and the breakthroughs that happened on the other side. You’ll learn:

    💡 Why staying in your comfort zone is keeping you small
    💡 How eliminating creates space for the things you really want
    💡 Why letting go isn’t loss, it’s liberation
    💡 A simple exercise you can do today to lighten your load and move forward

    This episode is for you if you’ve been feeling stuck, drained, or scared of change. It’s a reminder that elimination is not about loss — it’s about freedom, clarity, and breakthrough.

    🎧 Press play, and let’s get brave about what we’re ready to release.

  • Midlife Confidence for Women 40+: Five Shifts That Change Everything
    Sep 19 2025

    This special 20th anniversary episode of The Salon Owner Mentor is a love letter to women in their 40s who feel flat, lost, or “past it.” I share the five mindset shifts that changed everything—self-worth before self-sacrifice, identity over image, boundaries are love, consistency over heroics, and vision over validation—plus a simple daily framework: See it. Soften it. Support it. If you’re navigating midlife confidence, body and energy changes, or want practical self-care that fits a real life, this episode is for you. You’ll leave with a 7-day reset, language for setting boundaries, and permission to keep growing—because you’re not finished; you’re just getting started.


    Post your care act today and tag @The_salon_owner_mentor with #BecomingAt40. I’ll reshare favourites to help more women feel less alone.

    Why Your Salon Needs a Reset

    Feeling like you’re stuck on the hamster wheel—busy all the time but your profits don’t match? Or maybe your team energy feels flat, and you can’t remember the last time you stepped back to look at your salon as a business instead of just working in it.

    In this episode, I’m sharing why every salon owner needs a business reset and exactly how you can do it. From auditing your numbers, client experience, team performance, and boundaries—you’ll learn the steps that will give you clarity, energy, and a plan to head into the Christmas period ready to grow.

    ✨ Plus, I’ve created a FREE Salon Business Audit Tool for you to download and use right away. It will help you score different areas of your salon, see what’s working, and spot the areas that need attention.
