087 - How to Reflect on 2025 in the Salon and Reset for 2026
In today’s episode, we’re diving into something every salon owner has felt at some point money stress, shame and that sinking feeling of “Why isn’t this working?” We're in full December energy: busy salons, strong cashflow and the beginnings of that end-of-year reflection. Whether you listen now or during your Christmas break, this conversation will land exactly when it needs to. Inside the episode, we talk about: • Why money stress is normal and fixable • What to do if 2025 didn’t go as planned • The difference between structural business issues and personal ones • The patterns I’ve seen from 45+ salon and cli...

In this episode, I’m sharing a peek into my time at Profit Con, the annual conference for Profit First Professionals, and the in-person planning day Kristen and I added on to evolve and elevate the way we support our clients. We'll talk about: • Why stepping out of your environment gives you the clarity you didn’t know you were missing • The power of investing in planning time (even when it’s not “billable hours”) • What really happens when you make room to work on the business, not just in it • Little personal moments from the trip including a very unexpected hotel u...

085 - Client File: How Rachel Went from a Sinking Feeling to Back in Control of Her Salon
In this episode, I’m so excited to be sharing another Client Files with you today. These are some of my absolute favourites. Because while I can talk about strategy and systems all day long, nothing highlights how powerful this work really is then hearing from women just like you, salon owners who have walked the path, faced the stress and decided to take back control. I’m joined by the incredible Rachel, a salon owner in Victoria who has been in business for 13 years and runs a salon with a small team. Rachel opens up about what life and busi...

084 - What My Skin Taught Me About Change (and Why So Many Salon Owners Get Stuck)
This episode feels a little different, a bit more personal but I think you’re really going to see the parallel here. This story starts with my skin (yes, really!) but it’s actually about something much deeper: how we hold ourselves back from change. On this episode we talk through; • The identity and mindset we attach to our “problems” • What it really takes to reach that turning point for change • How to move from acceptance to action in your business It’s honest, a little vulnerable and full of parallels I think you’ll really resonate with.

083 - Rapid Fire: Should I Be Spending Money to Save Tax?
This episode is a rapid-fire where we're tackling a question that comes up over and over (and one I just spoke about with a client): “Should I spend money to reduce my tax bill?” It’s one of those myths that sounds good; Spend now, save on tax later but the truth is, a tax deduction doesn’t make your expenses free. We’ll talk about: • Why “it’s tax deductible” doesn’t mean “it’s free money” • The mindset that makes business spending feel easier than personal spending • What a “write-off” actually means (and why that Schitt’s Creek moment is so relatable) • Why paying...

082 - Why Structure Makes Running Your Salon Feel Lighter (Not Heavier)
In this episode I wanted to talk about something that comes up in conversations and with peers, my own coach in the past and with our clients: structure. More specifically the myth that structure is stressful. Because here’s the truth: when I first started my business, I avoided structure too. I thought structure would take away my freedom. But over time, I realised it’s the lack of structure that creates the most stress. We'll talk through: • Why so many salon and clinic owners resist structure (and what’s really behind it) • How “winging it” keeps you in a constant cycle...

080 - Mindset Minute: The Most Powerful Mindset Shift I Made in My Business That is Important For You Too
This episode is one of the most powerful shifts I’ve ever made in business (and something I talk about with my salon and clinic owner clients all the time): your business is not you. We'll talk about: • How this mindset shift transforms your decisions, cash flow, profit and pay. • The difference between what you need and what the business needs. • Why thinking like a CEO (not just the do-it-all owner) brings more clarity and freedom. From paying yourself properly to separating expenses this separation sets the stage for a business that can thrive without being 100% reliant on you. Because here’s t...

This is one of the most important conversations of the year. The end-of-year rush is coming.
