  • How Perfectionism Is Blocking Your Growth as a Personal Stylist
    Feb 26 2026

    You've been tweaking your website for six months. You rewrote your packages again. You recorded that reel and deleted it because the lighting was off. You tell yourself you just have high standards. But if you're being honest, nothing is actually moving.

    I know because I've been there. And I work with stylists in this exact place all the time. That's not high standards. That's perfectionism. And it is costing you more than you realize.

    In this week's episode of The Six Figure Personal Stylist Podcast, I'm getting into exactly how perfectionism shows up in a styling business, what it's actually costing you, and how to start moving forward without waiting until everything feels ready.

    1:01 – How scaling forced me to confront my perfectionism head-on

    5:38 – Why perfectionism often hides inside growth-minded stylists

    7:58 – How perfectionism shows up with many of the stylists I work with

    12:01 – The emotional economics behind staying small and feeling safe

    17:16 – The surprising trust-building power of admitting mistakes publicly

    20:14 – What your perfectionism is actually costing you

    22:43 – How perfectionism distorts perspective for both you and your clients

    27:21 – How imperfect visibility can create a magnetic client connection

    29:52 – Perfectionist stylists who get the most out of Accelerator

    32:11 – How I’ve structured the program to help stylists with perfectionism

  • Why Building a Course Is the Wrong Fix for Your Styling Business
    Feb 19 2026

    If you've ever thought a course was going to be the thing that finally made your styling business feel stable, I get it. I've been in that place where the one-to-one grind feels unsustainable and everything online is telling you to scale, go passive, create it once and sell it forever. It's a very easy thing to believe when you're exhausted.

    But a course doesn't fix an unstable business. It multiplies whatever is already true in it. And I've watched established stylists with real careers behind them build one and come out the other side more exhausted, more broke, and more discouraged.

    In this episode of The Six Figure Personal Stylist Podcast, I'm breaking down why a course is actually an advanced business move, what you need to have in place before it makes sense, and what to focus on instead if you're still in that good month, dead month cycle.

    2:40 – The hidden cost of adding complexity to an already unstable foundation

    4:30 – How burnout distorts decision-making and makes “passive” look like salvation

    8:07 – What most stylists are really craving when they say they want passive income

    10:00 – The skill gap no one talks about in creative industries

    13:13 – Why failed launches feel personal and how to separate identity from skill

    15:32 – Why a course isn’t just an end product and what a successful one requires

    18:39 – The six-question filter that reveals whether a course is strategic or reactive

    21:05 – The choice facing you right now

  • How Niching Down and Raising Prices Led to a Sold-Out Season with Sophia Bayly
    Feb 12 2026

    Sophia Bayly didn't wait until she felt ready. She raised her prices, niched down into six- and seven-figure entrepreneurs, and relaunched her signature offer with completely new messaging. She sold out in two weeks, signed 17 clients, and booked herself out through the end of the year.

    But none of that happened overnight. Sophia had been launching before we worked together, undercharging and overdelivering, and stuck in the cycle most stylists know too well — too busy to be strategic, not profitable enough to slow down. What changed was how she thought about her pricing, her people, and what she was actually willing to let go of to get to the next level.

    In this episode of The Six Figure Personal Stylist Podcast, we get into what shifted when she stopped being a generalist, why the clients who pay less often take the most, what it actually looks like to use a launch model as a stylist, and why the "but I'm not in America" objection is a mindset issue, not a market one.

    2:19 – The specific moment Sophia chose her new, higher standards over comfort

    4:10 – The subtle resentment that signals it is time to raise your prices

    7:05 – Why your circle can influence your ceiling

    8:58 – Why Sophia decided on the launch model and why iteration matters

    13:37 – The quantum leaps that came with each launch for Sophia

    16:01 – How Sophia still keeps people engaged through marketing, even though she’s booked out

    17:21 – A perspective to take the edge off launching and why this model makes the most sense for stylists

    20:09 – What “CEO quiet time” really looks like in slow months

    22:14 – One unexpected perception about the industry that I often get questioned on

    26:54 – A surprising launch lesson about people’s perspective and why you have to consistently present yourself as who you are

    31:06 – One takeaway from the course that helped Sophia reshape her messaging, positioning, and niche
