33. Maternity Leave featuring Sam Millwater

Afton is BACK to fill us in on all the boundary-setting she's been doing in the 6 months since we heard from her last. I first interviewed Afton back on episode 8 to talk about compassion fatigue, setting boundaries, and the current state of the industry. Since Afton is one of my closest friends her interview is never complete without some laughs and giggles, but between the laughable commentary Afton shares some real lessons she has had this year on setting boundaries and creating a better work-life balance for herself.

We all know the beauty industry is always changing, and that’s part of what we love about it, right? But it can get so confusing with new business concepts going viral on social media left and right. From topics like prebooking to working your dream schedule to making 6 figures right away, it gets harder and harder to know what is realistic and what is just click bait. On this weeks episode I sit down with Michelle, the business coach better known as @beautybusinessguide on Instagram, to talk about our views on these topics vs the tried and true business methods. Whether you’ve been a hairstylist for 25 years or 5 minutes, this one is for you. You can find more about Michelle's business coaching information by following her on instagram @beautybusinessguide, reading her posts, and clicking the link in her bio.

Social media classes for beauty professionals can be found everywhere, but they're not always directed towards the "baby stylists" - which leaves a lot of questions unanswered, like how to post any content at all when you don't even have clients. To answer my questions for the newer stylists joining our industry I knew the best person for the job would be Sydney Lopez. Sydney is not only an insanely talented stylist, colorist, and educator - but she's also an incredibly knowledgeable social coach. With over 174k followers on her instagram alone, she has built an amazing following and is passionate about sharing her knowledge with the world. Be sure to listen to hear all the nuggets of advice she gives out, whether or not she feels any cooler with all those followers, and some very big takeaways on how to build up content for social no matter where you're at in your career.
