Mindful Rest & A Costa Rica Retreat
Most retreats for beauty pros are about technique. This one isn't.In this episode, I sit down with Misty Jane — 20+ year hair industry veteran, host of the Starting Messy podcast, and a community builder who's spent the last few years rethinking what success looks like behind the chair. Together, we unpack why so many high-achieving stylists are quietly stuck in survival mode, and why rest, mental clarity, and self-trust have become the most underrated tools in this industry.We also talk about the retreat Misty is launching: a week-long, semi-disconnected experience in Costa Rica designed for established beauty professionals who are ready to step away from the noise. No woo woo. No technical workshops. Just presence, intentional living, and space to reconnect with your own curiosity.We get into:– Why peace can feel like boredom when you're wired for chaos– The scarcity mindset quietly running the beauty industry– What it actually means to disconnect (and why you can't skip it)– Who this retreat is for — and who it isn'tIf you're tired of operating in survival mode and ready to trust yourself again, this one's for you.Connect with Misty on Instagram or tune into her podcast, Starting Messy.@[email protected]

Healing Hands, Holy Work
In this episode, we sit down with Bria Alston to talk about what happens when beauty goes beyond the surface and becomes something sacred.From her background in nursing to building a business rooted in inner healing, Bria shares how she integrated faith into her treatment room and allowed God to redefine her work. What started as aesthetics evolved into ministry, where prayer, presence, and intention create space for clients to experience more than just a service.We talk about spiritual capacity and the reality that as beauty professionals, we are often holding more than we realize. Bria breaks down how to release what was never ours to carry, stay connected to God, and lead from a place of overflow instead of burnout.This conversation also speaks to the future of the industry, shifting from competition to community, raising the standard of what we put on and into our bodies, and creating spaces that truly heal.If you’ve ever felt the weight of this industry or known you were called to more than just the service, this episode will bring clarity to what that can look like.Follow Bria @sacredbeauty_bybria

Hard Truths of Salon Ownership
In this episode of Heal The Industry, Abigail Lacy, owner of Elle Society Salon, shares the hard truths that every salon owner will face—but few are willing to talk about.After years of growth, refinement, and perspective shifts, Abigail opens up about what it really takes to move from being a stylist behind the chair to becoming a leader who builds people, culture, and long-term sustainability.This conversation challenges the way you think about talent, consistency, team dynamics, and your role as an owner. Because the truth is—most of the pressure you’re feeling isn’t coming from your business… it’s coming from the expectations you’ve placed on yourself and others.Inside this episode, we talk about:• Why passion can’t be taught—but leadership can be developed• The real reason consistency is what separates thriving salons from struggling ones• Letting go of trying to want success for your team more than they want it for themselves• The importance of building a life outside of your business• Releasing guilt around evolving your vision as your life and priorities change• The difference between being the talent and building the stage• How to lead without carrying what was never yours to holdIf you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, responsible for everyone, or stuck between working in your business and actually leading it—this episode will bring clarity, conviction, and a healthier perspective on what ownership truly requires.You are not alone in this. And more importantly—you don’t have to carry it all.

Breaking Isolation in the Industry
The beauty industry is one of the most people filled industries in the world, yet so many stylists and salon owners quietly struggle with feeling isolated and alone.You spend your days surrounded by clients, coworkers, and constant conversation, yet still carry the weight of your career, your growth, and your personal struggles by yourself.In this episode, Ashlee talks about one of the most common but rarely discussed realities of the beauty industry which is isolation.Many professionals in this industry have never actually been taught how to build healthy community. Over time that isolation can slowly turn into burnout, comparison, and emotional exhaustion.But the truth is you were never meant to walk this journey alone.In this conversation Ashlee shares four practical things you can start doing today to step out of isolation and lean into real community. She also talks about the deeper realization that God has been present through every step of the journey even in the seasons where you felt the most alone.If you have ever felt like you were carrying the weight of your career by yourself, this episode will remind you that support, connection, and faith can completely change how you experience this industry.Because healing the beauty industry begins when leaders and artists realize they were never meant to do this alone.

The Choice to Rise in Partnership
In this episode, I’m joined by Andrea “Andi” Brundidge as we share the story behind her stepping into partnership at our NOVA STRANDS Oregon location.What started as Andi joining the salon as a stylist slowly evolved into something much bigger. Through leadership, trust, and a shared vision for what this industry can be, Andi rose into the role of Operations Manager and ultimately into partnership.This conversation pulls back the curtain on what real partnership actually requires. It isn’t just opportunity. It’s ownership, alignment, and the willingness to rise when responsibility calls.We talk about navigating leadership in an out-of-state salon, what it looks like to build trust inside a team, and why choosing community over competition is one of the most powerful shifts our industry can make.If you’ve ever wondered what it takes to grow into leadership, build something meaningful with others, or step into the next level of your career, this episode will challenge and encourage you.Partnership isn’t given.It’s something you choose to rise into.Follow Andi and her journey inside of NOVA STRANDS @Andi.NOVA.STRANDS

From Reactive to Rooted: Designing a Powerful Morning
If you’ve followed me for any amount of time, you know I am passionate about starting my day with intention.But this didn’t start as some polished productivity strategy.It started as a tired mom waking up at 4am, running on adrenaline, pouring from an empty cup.In this episode, I share the real story of how waking up just 30 minutes earlier changed everything — not just my mornings, but who I became throughout the day.We talk about:Why alignment must happen before the demandsHow seeking God first creates unshakable certaintyThe difference between borrowing certainty from others and receiving it from HimWhy movement is more than physical — it sets the tone for forward momentumHow to build a sustainable morning routine without turning it into another overwhelming checklistThis isn’t about perfection.It’s about priority.It’s about filling your cup before the world starts pulling from it.Your spirit.Your mind.Your body.Your alignment.If you’re tired of running on fumes…If you feel overstimulated, anxious, or constantly reacting to your day instead of leading it…This episode will help you reset.Start small.Make one promise to yourself.Build from there.Because when you begin your day aligned with who God is calling you to be, you move differently — with peace, clarity, and certainty.As always, if this resonates, share it. And if you have a healing story inside this industry, I’d love to spotlight your voice next.We rise [email protected]

We Rise Together: Social Media, Leadership & Healing the Industry
In this powerful return episode, I welcome Abigail Lacey back to the Heal The Industry podcast — and we share why our last episode together became one of the most listened-to conversations on the platform.This conversation goes deeper.We talk about how our relationship started — working on opposite sides of town, connected first through Instagram and a mutual industry friend — and how curiosity, networking, and intentional connection completely shaped our careers.Inside this episode, we unpack:The evolution of Instagram from coffee photos to a real marketing engineWhy networking with other stylists is more powerful than chasing new clientsThe courage it takes to be authentic online (and in person)How to overcome the “cringe” voice that keeps you smallWhy leadership requires challenging industry norms instead of copying trendsThe importance of creating a clear 1-year, 5-year, and 10-year roadmapThe business shifts that change everything (including moving from sole proprietor to S-Corp)Why community is the shortcut to growthWe talk about building careers on purpose — not by accident.The beauty industry does not have to be a fallback plan. It can be a self-designed, respected, profitable career when you decide to lead it that way.And at the end of this episode, we share a major announcement:Abigail is officially joining the Heal The Industry movement.Inside the community, she will be leading conversations around:• Strategic, authentic social media• Building dream clientele• Leadership & team development• Creating boundaries that elevate your salon cultureIf you’ve ever felt alone in this industry…If you’ve ever wished you had a mentor earlier…If you know we are capable of more as a collective…This episode is for you.The industry shines brightest when we decide to shine together.Join us inside Heal The Industry — $97/month, calls recorded, live participation encouraged — and let’s build careers that we are proud of.Click the link to join!https://heal-the-industry.circle.so/checkout/heal-the-industry-community?fbclid=PAVERFWAP_3xpleHRuA2FlbQIxMABzcnRjBmFwcF9pZA8xMjQwMjQ1NzQyODc0MTQAAac93011lDLHaAcAzKsxSkgYc44jz7tcJJYdo2oOWMiyAy66_4dbsIsAaSjr4g_aem_3xN7cjrFAo4FGR68WFvTqw

Don't be a "Hair-Lebrity"
In this episode, I sit down with Hannah Riley for a real, no-fluff conversation about what it actually looks like to build a sustainable, aligned career in the beauty industry.We talk through hair extensions and the responsibility that comes with offering them—doing the work with integrity, education, and respect for the client, not trends or pressure. We unpack the importance of clear and healthy boundaries as a stylist, and how those boundaries aren’t limiting—they’re foundational to longevity and peace.We also challenge the idea of becoming a “hair-lebrity” as the ultimate goal. Visibility doesn’t equal fulfillment, and popularity isn’t the same as purpose. True success is built by creating a career that supports your life, honors your values, and stays in alignment with who the Lord uniquely created you to be.This episode is for the stylist who’s ready to stop chasing validation and start building something rooted, intentional, and lasting—both in business and in faith.@hannah_rileyyyyxo

Alignment Within Yourself
If you’ve ever felt successful on the outside but disconnected on the inside, this conversation is for you.In this episode, we’re diving into alignment—what it really means, why so many beauty professionals are operating outside of it, and how that misalignment often shows up as burnout, self-doubt, and pressure to keep up. We talk about why borrowed certainty from others eventually fails and how true confidence comes from aligning with who you’re becoming, not who you’re comparing yourself to.We also paint a picture of what’s possible when you build a career rooted in clarity, boundaries, and purpose—without leaving the industry you love.This episode introduces our monthly alignment focus inside the Heal The Industry community, where we’re creating space for healing, growth, and leadership through intentional trainings, calls, and challenges.

Faith At Work
In this episode, we sit down with Jesse Anastacio, former hairstylist turned biblical business coach, to explore what it truly looks like to bring faith into your work — not performatively, but faithfully.Jesse shares her journey of surrender during the 2020 shutdown, how God began reshaping her understanding of integrity, finances, and obedience, and how that transformation eventually led her to view the salon chair as a place of ministry. From praying quietly for clients to boldly following the Spirit’s lead, this conversation invites beauty professionals to see their work through a new lens.We talk about identity in Christ, stewarding a business with wisdom, and what happens when obedience comes before comfort. Whether you’re navigating faith in the workplace, feeling called to more meaning in your career, or simply longing for alignment between belief and business, this episode is an invitation to lead with faith — right where you are.Connect with Jesse on Instagram @braidsandbalayage

When the Beginning Doesn’t Look Like the Breakthrough
In this episode, I’m reflecting on 2016 — a year that didn’t feel like a breakthrough at the time, but ended up being a foundation for everything that followed.I was a new mom, learning responsibility in real time. I bought my first house, posted my work publicly for the first time, started dreaming about my own space, and made the decision to hire my first business coach — all without clarity, confidence, or a master plan.This conversation isn’t about overnight success. It’s about what it looks like to keep going when you feel unsure, to choose support instead of isolation, and to trust that God is ordering your steps even when you can’t see the full path yet.If you’re in the early stages of a new chapter — feeling behind, unqualified, or uncertain — this episode is a reminder that the beginning is sacred, support is part of the design, and you were never meant to do this alone.Sometimes the season that feels the most confusing is the one shaping you the most.Let's connect @heal.the.industry on instagram

Breaking the Scarcity Mindset
Scarcity has quietly shaped the beauty industry for far too long — teaching stylists to fear time off, compete instead of collaborate, and tie their worth to overworking and survival.In this episode, Ashlee Vance sits down with Aleta Plajer, owner of AMP Hair Extension Studio, to name the patterns we’ve inherited and begin the work of releasing them.Together, they explore what it looks like to heal scarcity at the root — through making shifts that removes scarcity by potential issues in the business and setting it up for ultimate success. This conversation invites stylists to step out of burnout, redefine success, and choose community over competition.If you’ve felt the weight of hustle, anxiety, or constant pressure behind the chair, this episode offers a gentle but honest invitation: you don’t have to survive your career — you’re allowed to build one that sustains you.@aleta_marquez_plajer Want to be a guest on the podcast??

Choosing Peace Over Pressure
Annique shares her nine-year journey behind the chair, including the bold leap from a thriving salon suite into opening a large salon in April 2024—and the unexpected weight that came with it. From building complications to challenging hiring experiences, the pressure nearly pulled her away from the freedom she originally built her business for. Through deep reflection and listening to her instincts, Annique made the courageous decision to downsize into a micro salon model, returning to a suite with two stylists and a renewed focus on balance, education, and an elevated guest experience.Together, we unpack the industry narrative that equates success with constant expansion and salon ownership—and why that definition doesn’t serve everyone. This episode is a reminder that true success comes from honoring your intuition, trusting your discernment, and choosing alignment over expectation.Annique also shares what’s next, including her upcoming southern education tour with Sans Hall Education, her passion for teaching extensions, and her mission to help stylists heal the habit of overthinking so they can move forward with confidence.If you’ve ever questioned what success should look like, felt the pressure to grow beyond your capacity, or needed permission to choose peace and purpose—this episode is for you.Follow Annique on Instagram @annique.hair

From Lost to Led
In this powerful episode of Heal The Industry, Ashlee Vance sits down with Kansas City salon owner Jodalyn Gadwood to share a story of deep healing, faith, and true transformation.Just two years into salon ownership, Jodalyn opens up about a season marked by feeling lost, navigating trauma, strain in her marriage, and the pressure of building a suite after leaving a commission salon. What changed everything wasn’t a new strategy—it was a decision to fully center her life and leadership by embracing faith and asking God to come into her life.Through that shift, Jodalyn experienced freedom from drinking, lost 78 pounds, rebuilt her confidence, restored her marriage with her husband Bobby, and stepped into purpose beyond the salon. Today, they co-lead a relationship group at their church, and her business has grown into a faith-aligned salon attracting like-minded stylists—with her fourth team member joining this January.This conversation is a reminder that healing the industry starts within—and when you build from faith, everything else begins to rise with it.Follow Jodalyn on instagram @jodalyngadwood @keysalon_kc

Know So You Can Grow
On this podcast episode I am speaking on the topic of how knowing your numbers ultimately set you FREE!!

This will change the way you think of looking at your numbers and the possibilities that are there for you when you set yourself free from this story that hasn't and wont serve you.
