New year, new ENERGY! We are not dragging burnout into 2026. In this episode, I talk honestly about burnout after the holiday rush. Not the cute kind. The kind that makes you question everything. I share what burnout has looked like for me across offering beauty services, podcasting, and my social media management business, and why a simple break isn’t the fix we want it to be.

I get into boundaries, structure, and the behind-the-scenes habits that actually make a business feel sustainable. If you want to reset your mindset and protect your energy going into the new year, this episode will hit home.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• Why breaks don’t always cure burnout
• How do loose boundaries create resentment?
• What does a sustainable schedule really look like?
• When pushing harder backfires
• How to reset your mindset without burning it all down

Let’s make those adjustments and channel new energy to have a successful 2026!

Join me at the International Lash Expo in Glendale, Arizona where I’ll be a keynote speaker! I’d love to meet you. Check out all the details on ILE happening March 1st and get your ticket HERE.

Does building a beauty business in a small town come with a whole different set of rules? In this episode, I sit down with Broox, a longtime esthetician and the founder of the Montana Aesthetics Conference, to talk about what it really looks like to grow, stay inspired, and not burn yourself out in a rural market. We get into the behind-the-scenes of her 10-year journey, the mindset shifts that changed everything, and why community might be the most underrated business strategy we have.

Broox shares what sparked her to create Montana’s first aesthetics conference, how continued education can reignite your passion, and why you don’t need to do everything or be everything to everyone to succeed. If you’ve ever felt isolated or stuck, this episode is for you!

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• Why rural estheticians actually have more opportunity than they think
• How Broox built a loyal clientele without fancy marketing or trends
• Is competition in the beauty industry actually bad?
• How social media really functions as modern-day word of mouth
• The mindset shift that makes burnout harder to ignore (in a good way)
• What can you change when your business starts draining you instead of lighting you up?
• Why community and continued education can be career-saving

Hit play if you’re craving real talk along with practical insight. Check out the Montana Esthetics Conference details below!

More about Broox:
Broox Chandler has been a practicing esthetician in Billings Montana for over nine years. The lack of educational and networking opportunities for our industry in the area was a real problem in her eyes. Finding community and continuing education not only makes us better at our craft but re-lights that spark and passion for our careers. Three years ago Broox started Montana's first annual trade show for the beauty industry - Montana Esthetics Conference.

What does it really take to go all in on your business this year, especially when life is already a lot? In this first episode of the year, I get real about what it truly takes to commit to your business when motivation fades and life keeps lifing. Spoiler alert: this is exactly what we’ll be diving into at the Lash Biz Babes Experience, because dreaming big is the easy part. Building the discipline, mindset, and structure to support those dreams is where the real work begins.

I share real moments from my own journey as a solo beauty business owner, including the doubts, the drive-thru spirals, and the decisions that changed everything. If you want a year that feels more intentional and way less exhausting, this one’s for you.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• What does “going all in” actually looks like behind the scenes?
• Why taking care of your clients is a non-negotiable growth strategy
• The skill that will carry you when motivation checks out
• Choose your hard - this changes everything!
• How mindset and strategy have to work together
• The self-awareness most business owners avoid (but desperately need)

This episode is like a preview to the deeper work we will do at the Lash Biz Babes Experience in May. Check out all the details below!
