Thriving Stylist Podcast

Today’s topic is going to be a little bit different. I get a lot of questions from people asking me how to create more of a work/life balance, since a lot of stylists are looking to get away from working nights and weekends. This can affect how we should up as parents, and I can speak to the resulting guilt around this because I experience it. I decided to get a little help from my friend, Sarah Boyd, who is an amazing businesswoman, partner and above else, mother. Sarah has really found a way to have a beautiful and vibrant career, all while still being an incredible mom. In today’s episode she’s going to share with us the foundation for creating strong relationships with our children, while being a working parents. Here’s to letting go of the mom guilt and the need to be “perfect” parents!
