A new year doesn’t require a full reinvention, but it does require honesty.
In this episode, I share a behind-the-scenes look at what’s evolving inside The Monday Club, and the five questions every salon owner needs to ask at the start of the year if they want real growth (not just more busyness).
This isn’t about resolutions or vision boards.
It’s about who you need to become to run the business you actually want.
Inside this episode, you’ll hear:
Why growth doesn’t come from doing more, it comes from becoming different
The invisible weight salon owners carry (and why systems matter more than motivation)
What most salon owners are tolerating that’s quietly draining them
How to spot where your business still depends too heavily on you
The 5 CEO-level questions every salon owner should be asking themselves
If you’ve been feeling busy, stretched thin, or like your salon still needs you too much, this episode will help you see exactly where to focus next.

Being busy isn’t the same thing as being profitable, and intention alone won’t fix what systems are failing to support.
In this episode, we’re breaking down why so many salons feel chaotic, exhausting, and capped, even when the books are full, and the demand is there. The truth? Your salon doesn’t rise to the level of your intentions; it falls to the level of your systems.
Inside this episode, you’ll hear:
Why revenue quietly dies in missed calls, DMs, and inconsistent processes
How systems protect your time, your nervous system, and your profit
The difference between pathways of cash and the systems that keep the money
Where most salons leak revenue without realizing it
Why predictable businesses compound, and chaotic ones collapse
How systems allow your salon to grow without relying on you for everything
This episode is part of the December Compounding Cash series and sets the foundation for building a salon that pays you consistently, runs without chaos, and supports the life you actually want to live.
And if you’re ready to stop being the bottleneck in your own business -

Here’s to building a business that feels steady, scalable, and supportive in 2026 and beyond ✨
Being busy isn’t the goal, being profitable is.
In this holiday-week episode, I break down why so many salon owners are booked out, working nonstop, and still not seeing the revenue growth they want. The issue isn’t effort. It’s relying on too few pathways of cash.
Inside this episode, we cover:
Why being booked out doesn’t automatically equal profitability
The most common reason revenue flatlines even when demand is high
What “pathways of cash” actually are (and which ones most salons already have)
How relying on one revenue lever caps your growth
Why adding hours or hiring more people is usually the last move, not the first
How multiple aligned cash pathways create compounding revenue without burnout
This episode is part of the Compounding Cash System series and sets the foundation for building a salon that grows beyond your personal capacity.

It can feel incredibly frustrating to be doing everything right and still not seeing the growth you know your salon is capable of.
You’re booked. You’re busy. You’re leading your team. You’re showing up online. You’re doing the work.
And yet… the numbers aren’t compounding. Every month feels like starting from zero again.
In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on why that happens, and why it’s not because you’re doing a bad job.
Inside this conversation, we talk about:
Why effort alone doesn’t create growth
How marketing, visibility, leadership, cash pathways, and systems form one ecosystem
The difference between being busy and being profitable
Why being “fully booked” can still leave you stuck
How salons accidentally stall their growth even while doing all the right things
What it really takes to build a business that grows even when you step away from the chair
This episode is about connecting the dots, and understanding why disconnected systems lead to stalled momentum, while an aligned ecosystem creates stability, freedom, and growth.

This is where we build the entire compounding cash ecosystem — leadership, systems, visibility, and revenue pathways — so your business stops relying on your constant presence.
If you’ve ever thought, “I’m doing everything right… so why am I not growing?” — this episode is going to hit home.
Today, we’re breaking open the real reason salon owners feel like they’re working endlessly without seeing the numbers move: gaps inside the five core areas of the Compounding Cash System.
Inside this episode, you’ll hear:
Why it feels like you’re “doing everything” but still starting from zero each month
The five core gaps that stall growth in even the busiest salons
What happens when marketing, visibility, leadership, cash pathways & systems finally align
Why emotional leadership is quietly derailing your team’s consistency
The biggest mistake salon owners make with visibility (and why it’s not just social media)
What the Compounding Cash System actually is, and how it turns effort into exponential revenue
How salon owners start removing themselves from behind the chair without losing income
A sneak peek at the full 2026 Monday Club upgrade and why it changes everything
And if you’re listening and thinking,
“Okay wait… I need to build this ecosystem inside my salon.”
Inside the 2026 Monday Club, we’re rebuilding each pillar of the Compounding Cash System step-by-step, so you walk into the year with a revenue-stacking machine, not a business dependent on how many hours you work behind the chair.

If you’re heading into the end of the year feeling tired, stretched thin, or like things run great until you step away… this episode is for you.
Today, we’re doing a year-end leadership audit, a simple but powerful gut check to help you understand what’s really working in your salon and what’s quietly costing you time, energy, money, and peace.
Because the truth is:
Leadership isn’t about doing more.
It’s about having systems that support you instead of draining you.
Inside this episode, we break down the four areas every salon owner must assess before heading into 2026:
Your Team: Are they the right people, and do they know what success looks like?
Communication: Are things written down, or only in your head?
Operations: Do you have systems for the recurring chaos?
Self-Leadership: Do you actually do what you say you’re going to do?
This quick audit gives you clarity—not shame—so you can step into the new year with intention instead of pressure.
And if you're ready to upgrade your leadership systems, stop being the bottleneck, and actually have support in this next season…

This week, we’re digging into the most underrated marketing strategy in the salon industry: client retention.

The quiet ways salons lose clients without realizing it

This week, we’re diving into what actually makes your salon marketing work without burning you out. Because being fully booked doesn’t always mean your marketing is effective, it just means you’re maxed out.

Why going all-in on one thing (social, staff, or behind the chair) keeps you stuck

Let’s cut to it - posting your availability every week is not a marketing strategy. It’s reactionary, it’s short-term, and it keeps you stuck in survival mode instead of building real demand for your salon.

If The Summer I Turned Pretty can take over the internet with community and connection, your salon can do the same thing locally. Clients don’t just want great hair; they want to belong.
