In this episode, Heather sits down with Keyani Washington, founder of Chatskin & Hair Co., a multi-passionate entrepreneur, wife, veteran, and mom who went from repeating herself in client conversations… to launching three powerful online courses that solve real gaps in the beauty education industry.

Keyani shares how a military injury shifted her path, why the hair and skin care industry’s education system is due for a revamp, and how she found clarity, momentum, and strategy inside the GROW & Flourish Co. community. You’ll hear how she embraced digital products, learned to stop overthinking (hello, perfectionism!), and leaned into consistent coaching to get her time and confidence back.

Whether you're a beauty professional, service-based entrepreneur, or just tired of repeating yourself to clients—you’re going to feel seen in this one.

What You’ll Learn:

• Why outdated education systems are holding back growth in the beauty industry
• What sparked Keyani’s decision to shift from a service and product-based business to a course
• How she mapped her real-world client experience into 3 distinct offers
• The community that helped her launch imperfectly and keep moving
• Why consistent community, support, and the right tools made all the difference.

Highlights:

• 03:50 — Why creating another product wasn’t the solution she thought it would be
• 05:24 — The 3-course journey: how they came to life and who they serve
• 09:30 — When you’re tempted to overdeliver…
• 10:35 — The power of feedback, structure, and flexible strategy
• 15:34 — Advice for anyone who keeps repeating themselves in their business

Action Step:

If you're constantly repeating yourself to clients or answering the same questions in your DMs, it’s time to package your expertise.

This week, take 30 minutes to:
→ Write down the top 5 questions you get asked over and over again
→ Ask yourself: Could this be turned into a course, workshop, or training?

Then, join us for Open Office Hours to brainstorm how you can turn that repeat content into a scalable digital offer.

Start creating once, and serving many. Your future self will thank you

Episode Summary:

Ever felt like you're juggling 27 tabs in your brain while also trying to remember where you set your phone, only to realize... you’re holding it? Same.

In this honest solo episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on what life and business really look like behind the scenes — garage sale chaos, soccer practice, grandbaby snuggles, and all.

Just because I’m a speaker, podcast host, and entrepreneur doesn’t mean I’ve got it all together. I’m recording this from a messy corner of our den, surrounded by workout gear, Cricut supplies, and real life.

So if you’ve ever looked at someone and thought, “She must have something I don’t,” this one’s for you. We talk about imposter syndrome, permission to show up imperfectly, and why your story matters, even when it feels ordinary.

Because success isn’t about having it all together, it’s about showing up anyway.

✅ What You’ll Learn:

• Why your story is worth sharing, even if it feels “too ordinary”
• What my current real-life office setup looks like
• How juggling business, family, and life can still lead to success
• A powerful mindset shift to help you keep going

💡 Key Takeaway:

Your office and life don’t have to be polished to be powerful and make an impact.

Episode Summary:

This episode wasn’t scheduled. It wasn’t planned. But it was so needed.

This one wasn’t planned — but sometimes those are the best kind of conversations.

In this casual (and totally unscheduled) live episode, Heather sits down with Grow & Flourish Co. Inner Circle member Keyani Washington — a military vet, wife, mom, and beauty industry pro — who just launched her first lead magnet AND paid course in under two weeks.

She didn’t have a website. She didn’t have a team. She had support, a clear strategy, and a dream to build something that works without her working 24/7 or doing it all alone.

She went from “I think I might create something” to the first step in building a passive income stream. Now she has almost 50 new leads while raising a toddler, juggling leadership programs, and community impact work.

In this episode, Keyani shares:

• How Keyani launched a freebie and course in just 2 weeks
• What helped her move from burnout to business clarity
• How a system has created time freedom for her as a mom and entrepreneurs
• Why finding the right coach and community can change everything
• The beauty of passive income for service providers
• How Keyani grew her email list by almost 50 leads without paid ads

If you’ve ever felt like you’re sitting on a good idea but don’t know how to start… this is your episode.

It’s proof that momentum happens fast when you have the right coach, community, and a little push. If you’re ready to stop doing it all manually and finally set up your business to support you, this one’s a must-listen.

“You already know what you need. You just need the right support to pull it out of you and help you put it into action.” - Keyani Washington

Episode Summary:

Ever feel like your business path doesn’t make sense on paper — but you know deep down it’s exactly where you're meant to be?

In this powerful conversation, I’m joined by Becky Nieves — also known as Becky the Cycle Breaker — a coach for high-achieving moms healing from narcissistic parenting. Becky shares her honest journey from a traditional career path and unexpected stay-at-home motherhood to entrepreneurship, burnout, and finally, a coaching business built with purpose and alignment.

This episode is especially for the woman who’s been doing all the “right” things but still feels stuck — in a business she doesn’t love, a role she didn’t choose, or a life that’s not lighting her up.

You’ll hear real talk about pivoting, people-pleasing, motherhood, and what it actually takes to build a life-first business when you’re holding space for everyone else.

Your life’s work should reflect you — not just what you’ve been through, but what you're building toward. Let’s grow and flourish together. 💛

What You’ll Learn

✅ How Becky turned a painful past into purposeful work
✅ What to do when your degree or past experience doesn’t align with your next move
✅ Why some women stay stuck in businesses that no longer serve them

✅ The difference between surviving entrepreneurship and truly thriving

Key Takeaway

“You can’t build a life-giving business on top of someone else’s expectations. When you trust your own voice — that’s when the shift happens.” — Becky Nieves

Action Step

Take 10 quiet minutes this week — no distractions, no noise — and ask yourself:
“Is this the business I want to be building… or the one I thought I had to build?”

Let that truth lead your next step.
