In today’s episode, I’m joined by the wonderful Elli, who’s about to head off on maternity leave - and we’re having a real, honest conversation about what it actually looks like to step away from your business without losing momentum.

We’re talking expectations vs. reality when it comes to leadership, growth, and what success really requires in the beauty industry. From feeling the pressure to “do it all,” to learning how to build systems and teams that support you - this episode is full of behind-the-scenes insights for beauty pros who want to grow smart, not just fast.

You’ll also hear about my upcoming Vietnam trip, how the beta launch of my new training programs went, and why niching down might be the key move your business needs right now.

In this episode, we cover:

✨ The mindset shift that makes taking time off actually possible
✨ Why trying to offer everything can hold your business back
✨ What most people get wrong about success in the beauty industry
✨ The importance of team, systems, and structure behind the scenes
✨ Real talk on maternity leave, slowing down, and staying in your zone

This episode is your permission slip to let go of the hustle myths and start building your business in a way that feels aligned, sustainable, and true to you.

Let’s rewrite what success looks like - together.

I want to empower women in the beauty industry to create an impact, build an empire, and leave their legacy!
