Welcome back to It’s Not About Your Hair and this week’s It’s Not Your Business mini-series episode—where we get real about the stories behind the stylist.

This week, I’m honored to introduce you to one of my dearest friends and an absolute curly hair queen, Jodi Heafner of Razzberry Curls in North Carolina. But this episode isn’t just about hair—it’s about healing.

In this powerful conversation titled The Sober Stylist, Jodi opens up about her journey through addiction, alcoholism, and the road to sobriety that led her to build a career and a life she truly loves. Her vulnerability, strength, and humor make this an episode you won’t forget—especially if you’ve ever wondered how to keep going when life feels too hard.

Whether you’re a stylist, someone walking your own sober journey, or simply a human navigating life’s ups and downs—Jodi’s story will leave you inspired.

In Episode 45 of It’s Not About Your Hair, I’m speaking to the hearts that feel stuck—the ones whispering, “I don’t know where to start.” Here’s the truth: you don’t need to know every step. You just need to start with what sets your soul on fire.

I’m giving you a real-time update on a dream I shared in a past episode—the Hair, Heart & Happiness Tracker. What began as just an idea has now sold nearly 700 copies in six months. Why? Because I simply followed the nudge, took one step, and trusted the path to unfold.

This week, I also share a powerful story about my husband Adam, who walked away from entrepreneurship and took a 75% pay cut to step into his dream job—and found more joy than ever. Sometimes the “slow down” leads to the most fulfilling shift.

If you’ve been chasing someone else’s life, this is your reminder: fulfillment comes from knowing yourself, not keeping up. Tune in to explore how listening to your intuition, following what lights you up, and letting go of comparison can transform everything.

Let this be your permission to dream big, trust your gut, and start exactly where you are.

In Episode 43 of It’s Not About Your Hair, we’re leaning into some big heart questions: What does it really mean to love your neighbor as yourself—especially if self-love feels out of reach? Who is our neighbor, anyway? And how do manifestation and prayer overlap when it comes to aligning with the true desires of our hearts?

We explore the difference between material desires and the soul-deep longing for peace, love, and purpose. I challenge you to look at unforgiveness in a new way—what if the grudge you’re holding against someone else is actually rooted in a hidden unforgiveness toward yourself?

This episode is a reflection on faith, identity, and the freedom that comes with accepting that the same Creator who made this vast, beautiful universe also made you—with love, on purpose. And when you can fully receive that truth? You’re free to truly love others, too.

Let’s talk heart, healing, and the kind of love that starts within.

In this powerful session of It’s Not Your Business—a mini series of the It’s Not About Your Hair podcast—we’re talking mindset, burnout, and what might really be blocking you from the life and business you’ve always dreamed of behind the chair.

I’m also sharing the heart behind my online course, created specifically for stylists who feel stuck, uncertain, or just plain exhausted. Whether you’re struggling with curl confidence, unsure of what your clients truly need, or questioning if this career can still light you up—this episode is for you.

If you’re ready to shift your mindset, reconnect with your passion, and finally get clear on what’s next, let’s dive in together. You don’t have to do it alone.

In this episode 41 of It’s Not About Your Hair, I’m sharing reflections from my recent trip to Austin and the inspiring Innersense Founders Summit. We’re diving deep into how unmet expectations can hijack our emotions—and how gratitude, awareness, and the people we surround ourselves with can raise our emotional state and shift our perspective.

Let’s talk about the power of flipping the switch: moving from feeling powerless to powerful, from comparison to self-connection, and from frustration to celebration. Unrealistic expectations often steal our joy and blur the progress we’ve made. This conversation is your reminder to anchor in gratitude, stop the comparison, and trust the beauty of your own journey.

Tune in and get grounded in what really matters.

Welcome to It’s Not Your Business—our bi-weekly mini segment of the It’s Not About Your Hair podcast, where we get real about the business side of the salon industry. Whether you’re a salon owner, suite owner, booth renter, or commission stylist, these episodes are here to support you on your entrepreneurial journey.

This week, we’re talking about pivoting—why it matters, how the industry is shifting, and the power of knowing what you want from your business so you can recognize when it’s time to make a change.

Think of these segments as a reminder that you’re not alone out there—and yes, you can keep going.

Tune in, take what you need, and let’s grow together.

We’re back, and it feels so good! Welcome to Season 3 of It’s Not About Your Hair: Talking All Things Hair, Heart, and Happiness.

In this kickoff episode, I’m getting real about why we took a long break, what 2024 taught me, and how life sometimes demands that we pause, recalibrate, reflect, reframe, and visualize what we truly want next.

2024 was the most successful year I’ve had as a business owner—but it was also a year of deep loss, big transitions, and powerful lessons. I’m sharing the highs, the lows, and how I’ve chosen to see all of it as fuel for growth.

We’ll also be talking about what’s coming up on the podcast this season, embracing fear, moving with intention, and staying aligned with your heart, your vision, and your flow.

Because remember, this podcast isn’t just about hair—it’s about mindset, heart, happiness, and how we keep showing up for the life we want, even when it gets messy.

Hit play. Let’s grow.
