087 - How to Reflect on 2025 in the Salon and Reset for 2026

In today’s episode, we’re diving into something every salon owner has felt at some point money stress, shame and that sinking feeling of “Why isn’t this working?” We're in full December energy: busy salons, strong cashflow and the beginnings of that end-of-year reflection. Whether you listen now or during your Christmas break, this conversation will land exactly when it needs to. Inside the episode, we talk about: • Why money stress is normal and fixable • What to do if 2025 didn’t go as planned • The difference between structural business issues and personal ones • The patterns I’ve seen from 45+ salon and clinic owners this year from rising costs to seasonal lulls Here’s the reminder every salon owner needs: If you want a different result in 2026, you can’t repeat the same habits and structures from this year. And none of this means you are the problem. You were trained as a technician, not a business owner so of course there are skills no one ever taught you. This episode will help you reflect without blame, reset your thinking and head into 2026 with clarity and confidence. Tune in for a grounded, honest, and empowering wrap-up to your year.
