I’ve got another amazing episode of the Anxious Creative for ya, with special guest Anatalie Nicole.  This incredible woman is making huge changes in the industry and the way salons are run and I’m pretty pumped that she’s joining us today.  We’ve been friends for several years now and it’s been such an immense pleasure to see how much she’s grown in the short time we’ve known each other.  You are...

I’m so excited to bring you another episode of The Anxious Creative with special guest, an RYB Alumni and Mastermind member, Rebecca Anthony.  I’ve seriously been waiting for this episode for SO long.  Rebecca’s been a fan of the show since its inception 2 years ago. (For those OG listeners, you might recall that my show hasn’t always been called The Anxious Creative). This episode is near and dea...

We’re back at it again with another awesome episode of The Anxious Creative.  This week I’ve got my friend and student Jen Shattuck from Oregon coming to chat about moving across the country, learning new techniques and following your dreams. She’s been in the hair industry for 14 years (a little longer if you count schooling). She had an amazing opportunity to start cosmetology education in high...

Oh I’ve got a treat for you today. Although I’m definitely still riding the high of my 5-part series with Lindsay Mayuga I’m super pumped to be bringing you this new episode.  I’ve got a very special guest today, my good friend, Piper De Young. I’m so excited to have her on the podcast.  Piper and I have known each other for years, yet we’ve only met IRL a handful of times. (Isn’t the internet suc...

This week's episode I have my friend Gina Devine on to talk about how we do life as anxious creatives. Gina has been a creative her whole life, growing up in salons (her mom is a stylist) and going to fine art school she is a true artist. But like me, don't ask her to cook you a meal, it ain't gonna happen. She is one of the kindest people I have ever met and I appreciate her constant commitment t...

I gotta be honest, I didn’t think I’d be so bummed to see this series come to an end! It was such a treat to spend so much time with Lindsay, chatting about so many different topics. Did you listen to the first four parts? They’ve been so good, right?! (If you haven’t you might wanna check them out after you listen to this one.) Well, I think we’re ending the series with the best one (but I might...

Can you believe we’re on part 4 of The Anxious Creative Makes Waves? Have you been listening since part 1 (can you believe an entire month has already gone by since that episode came out?! This year is truly flying). If you want to listen to any of the earlier parts to this series, you can pop over here to check them out. This week’s episode is all about communication. Lindsay and I LOOOOOVE talki...

Woooeee, get ready for another fun episode with Lindsay. We’re onto Part 3 of our 5 part series The Anxious Creative Makes Waves. If you haven’t listened to part 1 or part 2 I’d definitely recommend going and checking those out. (They are seriously awesome, we talked about boundaries and worth). This week we’re diving deep into all things money. (Did I just hear you take a sharp inhale? I promise,...

Are you ready for part 2 of The Anxious Creative Makes Waves? If you haven’t checked out part 1 yet, you should pop over and check it out! Lindsay and I talked all about boundaries. Part 2 is all about worth and I’m so lucky to be hanging out with the Queen of Worth herself, Lindsay Mayuga. (She’s seriously so freakin’ awesome.) Listen in to hear me do my best intro song to date (this is not a deb...

I’ve got a treat for you today! In this episode, I’m talking with Holly Luby from Thunder Bay, Ontario. (Coolest town name ever.) Holly is a Rock Your Business alumnae, self-proclaimed control freak, and anxious creative. She’s been a stylist for 15 years, an educator for 8, and a business owner since February. Yes, she started her salon business during the pandemic, and she’s succeeding! How is t...

I’ve had several guests from small towns on the podcast lately, and the theme continues with Lindsay!

Today I’m so excited to chat with Livia, one of my students and a kickass stylist and business owner. Get this: She graduated from hair school in 2018 and opened her first salon in 2019. AND she hired her first employee. She’s also quadrupled her income in the past two years, and she’s only 20! To top it all off, she even lives in my hometown and we graduated from the same high school just a *few*...

She’s also a brand strategist and Instagram educator for beautiful professionals who want to leverage their online presence to build a consistent brand and use Instagram without the overwhelm. We first met virtually in...

In this episode, I’m talking with Lindsay Mayuga, a coach, podcaster, and hairstylist making waves in the beauty industry and the podcasting world. Lindsay and I have similar stories in that we both found ourselves in lives that looked good on paper even though we were miserable,...

Business and life have their ebbs and flows, especially when you’re an anxious creative! Today, I’m talking with one of my mentees, Shaleen Hauck, about how to deal when shit hits the fan. Shaleen has been a hair stylist and esthetician for 20 years. She started as a shampoo girl when she was 12! She now owns a salon and privately coaches other beauty professionals. She’s also a wine connoisseur,...

We’ve all been there. We see someone who’s growing their business, making tons of money, getting opportunities, and we think “I could have done that better. I’m way more talented than they are. Why are they succeeding while I’m not?” So I’m going to drop a major truth bomb here: Sometimes talent and skill aren’t enough. You can be the most gifted person in the world, but you aren’t going to get fa...
