Do you always consider all viewpoints in a conflict, or do you sometimes react prematurely? Everyone comes into every situation from their own vantage point.

Send us a text message to join the conversation or just send me a note! When you set a goal or intention, following the path there is like following GPS. Sometimes you think you know better, but sometimes a detour comes along you didn't expect. The thing is, life's GPS doesn't care where you've been. It cares where you are, and where you're going. I've been expanding my salon and let me tell you, it's been a lot. I don't always follow the path my life GPS is leading me, and sometimes I wish I ha...

You know like how Taco Bell and KFC sometimes combine in one store, but their menus are still separate? It's like that. In business and relationships, what you want is amalgamation - not assimilation. You don't want to lose yourself in the combination. Collaboration and cooperation is great and neces...

The thing is, they don't always happen the way I expect them to. Sometimes you need to be more specific. Sometimes, be aware that the good things coming for you are housed in lessons.

Every time I write out something with clarity and intention, it comes to me - even if it's not quite what I act...

Lately it’s been on my mind that I haven’t been wanting to ask people what’s next for them anymore when they come into the salon. That question seems flat and linear - why would anyone want what’s next on the same level as they’ve been? A better question is, “what’s up?” What’s up from where you are? What can you learn from where you’ve been, be creative and level up? What’s your contribution, your abstract vision? What elev...
