How I'm setting goals for 2026

Thank you for listening to this heavier episode of Morbid Hair History where I aim to expose the the disturbing use and weaponization of hair during WWII, and the importance of understanding the role hair plays throughout history.

Is my immune system not as resilient in my 30s as it was in my 20s or am I just more aware of how my body feels? I'm not exactly sure, but I do know that I have a much healthier relationship with calling out sick from the salon when necessary.

this from the vault episode of Morbid Hair History is the first one I ever recorded and posted to social media before uploading them to the podcast. Unfortunately I caught a nasty cold this week and couldn't record a new episode, but that doesn't mean you should miss out on your favorite morbid content. I hope you enjoy this episode that started it all!

Have you watched the iconic series Mad Men? It has a ton of lessons about marketing and you won't even feel like you're trying to learn anything while you binge watch this addictive series. I'm almost wondering if we should do a mini podcast series on the marketing lessons that stand out and tie back into your business strategy as a hairstylist. If you're interested in the idea, let me know!
