E36. Is the economy really the problem… or are coaches gas lighting you? With Clare From 5 Star Therapist

Send us Fan Mail Hey, Beauty Besties! 💖 In this episode, Kimberley chats with Clare from 5 Star Therapist a fellow coach and truth teller who posted something that seriously got under her skin 👀 Rather than sitting in the spiral, Kimberley invited her on the podcast to have an honest, nuanced convo about something we ALL need to talk about more: Is the economy really the problem… or are coaches gas lighting you? This episode is a real time example of what happens when two strong voices in the beauty industry come together with respect to challenge each other’s views for the greater good of YOU, the business owner. We chat about: 💸 The real impact of the economy on beauty businesses right now 🧠 The line between mindset work and toxic positivity in coaching 🔥 Why triggers are invitations for deeper growth 🤝 The power of holding multiple truths in the beauty industry 🎯 How to move forward when the noise online feels overwhelming This chat is thought provoking, honest, and (spoiler alert) ends in laughter - not war. Whether you side with Clare, Kimberley, or land somewhere in between, this episode will expand the way you think about your business and the beauty space as a whole.
