Finding Purpose

So this episode is about Life Purpose, and how an industry podcast said employers MUST provide Gen Z with a purpose or they won't work for you... and I will not be providing purpose. Here's what AI thinks this episode is about:
So, picture this: we're diving deep into the behind-the-scenes of running a hair salon. We're not just talking about the basics here, but getting into all the juicy details, sharing insider stories and some real eye-opening industry insights.
But hey, it's not all serious business. We're also gonna take a moment to poke some fun at society's expectation that every workplace should be the center of our universe, especially when it comes to keeping Gen Z employees happy. Spoiler alert: it's not all about work!
And yeah, we'll sprinkle in some wisdom from cool folks like Simon Sinek, mixing it up with beach vibes, artsy stuff, and maybe even a dab of politics. But don't worry, we're keeping it chill and open-minded, because healthy debate is where it's at.
Wrapping it up, we'll talk about how society's pressure can sometimes make us lose sight of what really matters, swapping real purpose for something fake. It's a chat that'll make you think, challenge your views, and hopefully leave you feeling inspired to find your own path to fulfillment – whether it's in your job or just life in general.

My Mom Made Me Play Sports

Hey, welcome to the episode! So, I'm gonna spill some tea about what it's like running a salon – the ups, the downs, and everything in between. Picture this: juicy stories about my team's antics and how we walk that fine line between boss and friend.

And because life's too short for a serious face all the time, I'll share some funny stuff from my own life – think sports, weird AI encounters, you name it.

Navigating Salon Owner Challenges and Cultivating Growth

LETS GET SERIOUS.
An employee and mentee that I thought was close, was actually trying to stage a walk out.
In this episode, join me and my good friend and fellow educator Kerry, as we dive into the cutthroat world of salon culture. From sharing personal challenges to discussing the importance of open communication, and the dumb shit we've been through, we cover it all.
Listen in as we explore the impact of competition and isolation in the industry, and why self-care and rest are crucial for creative minds like ours. I get real about my own experience with an employee's sudden departure and the lessons learned about communication and respecting individual growth paths while also respecting myself.
We also take a deep dive into the dynamics of the Charleston hair scene, emphasizing the need for authenticity, direct communication, and a career-focused mindset for salon owners and workers alike.
In an industry known for its cutthroat competition, we dissect the balance between professionalism and personal growth, advocating for honest feedback over fake flattery and celebrating transparency in professional relationships.
We also discuss industry trends, upcoming plans for a salon rebrand, and the importance of staying true to oneself in business. And we challenge the myth of salon owners pocketing their staff's commissions, shedding light on the true financial challenges faced by independent stylists and commissioned salons.
In the end, this conversation offers a blend of professional anecdotes, philosophical reflections, and strategic insights that promise to immerse listeners in the fascinating world of salon culture. Tune in for a lively and enlightening discussion!

We'll walk you through our week of workshops that put our resilience to the test, mind-blowing yoga sessions, and deep dives into our emotions. It was a journey that brought both enlightenment and vulnerability, where we found ourselves amidst the chaos. And even though we were all together, each of us had our own unique story and emotions to explore.
We'll share our voyage as we navigated through our own emotional storms, questioned our past, and ultimately found acceptance and peace. We realized that our memories and emotions don't define us, but instead, they guide us through life. So come with us as we let go of the heavy weight of our feelings and embrace our own self-worth.

We'll share personal stories of growth, talk about the importance of surrendering to our emotions, and paint a picture of the sacred sights we encountered.

Together, let's explore personal growth, mental health, and self-discovery. We'll delve into the transformative journey of embracing our voices, confronting our limiting beliefs, and finding healing from within. We'll also discuss cultural shifts, the powerful connection to our ancestral roots, and the significance of internal therapy.

California, Kidnapping, and Plant Medicine

Get ready to plunge into the multi-dimensional world of 'coolness,' psychedelics, and a shocking incident that terrorized a town. Welcome to an episode brimming with laughter, profound wisdom, and unexpected perspectives. This is the episode before I head to Tulum on a healing retreat, where I also documented my journey; but this one is to see if I change at all. Physically, tonally, or on the outside that is noticeable to anyone.
I have been on a mental health journey since 2020 doing IFS, EMDR, Psilocybin trials (micro and macro) and i have gotten to a place where I want to try more holistic and powerful healing so I signed up for a week in Tulum to be shot through the healing cannon as I call it 
Moving away from the mainstream, we explore the disputed realm of plant medicines, culminating in a detailed discussion about psychedelics. Through captivating narratives, we illuminate the evolving viewpoints surrounding these natural yet potent medicines and how the research is piling up for mental health and natural medicines.
Our narratives take you on a winding journey that includes talks about the unease of being in the public eye, the adrenaline rush of suspenseful films, amidst other offbeat topics. Amidst the humor and depth, expect an uncensored exploration of divergent subjects.
In a significant tonal shift, we narrate a solemn yet horrifying incident—the notorious Chowchilla Kidnapping. We relive the truly chilling ordeal of a school bus full of children buried alive in a moving trailer, a crime that has had a lasting impact on the victims and the society . We closely examine the emotional aftermath and the existent societal ignorance towards emotional trauma.
AI wrote this summary after listening to the episode-it was dead on and used big words so I kept it, but what it forgot was - these are personal opinions, some facts, and for legal reasons mostly jokes 😉

Being Offended is a Choice in 2024

The secret to social media engagement is saying shit straight down the middle, no sides, and letting people take it how they wanna take it and letting them fight in the comments.
Tik Tok anyway.
We talk about the pendulum swinging in the hair industry, how we won't be editing in 2024. We ar enow on YouTube too! So you know there won't be edits.
And if you're too scared to post your content on social media remember, I happily watch people eat weird snacks and hamsters run on wheels online. Your content is probably cool.
That being said, I realized I am not inoffensive person, and I cannot handle walking on egg shells for social media anymore. So here we are.
Should we talk about politics? Or is Fox and the Hound enough?

Trigger Warning: 2023 is Over

TW: Suicide, Mental Health
The mics are blown, if you couldn't guess by the last few episodes but I had to wrap up the year with the busted ones! So here we are, if we laugh too loud it gets fuzzy, I did my best editing.
Meet some new friends, expand big foot's reach to space, and my dislike for Anne Hathaway continues.
This hot mess of an episode is the perfect bow on top of 2023. It was the year I tried to have podcast; and its been weird. 2024 I am coming with fresh equipment, a plan, and consistent episodes!
So enjoy the last conversation of 2023, don't kink shame anyone, and stop using the word trigger. Unless you mean it 😉

Only Haters Think You’re Toxic

So I have decided to keep track of local folks who talk shit, and it's starting to be fun; plus the content creates itself at this rate, and I get to hear new information about myself! If you DM me on social maybe I'll name names-if I can remember. How can folks, and not just me or in Charleston, hate on random people they don't even know? It's a question my bestie and I have always asked each other.
But we have leveled up my listeners, someone went and made a whole Tik Tok about me! We met once 🤣and don't worry, I checked my ego at the door because I too was like, "no way." Leading into a client telling me how a former employees mother tells folks not to come to my salon because it's "toxic" which ironically we end the episode with a Britney discussion. 
This episode is for everyone, especially mean girls, commission salon owners (cause ya know, we toxic) and anyone who has ever blindly believed someone without using critical thought, having their own experience, or simply not considering the source of information. 
In the least, you'll get some giggles. 
Also tag me! I am an influencer now 😉 only one more episode for 2023 coming! Stay tuned this weekend!
