In this episode of the Conscious Salon podcast, Nicola welcomes back guest Rache Mahon. Rache reflects on her promise to keep things together during this recording, especially after a previous experience that went awry. The conversation dives into Rache's year-long journey of transitioning off the tools at Pearl and Sage in Bendigo, focusing on nurturing and growing her team. Rache also talks about the launch of season two of her podcast, The One Left Behind, which chronicles her adoption story and search for her biological family. Highlighting the massive transition from being heavily involved in the business to a more managerial role, Rache shares her challenges and revelations. She discusses the evolution of her salon from a small waxing salon to a thriving, two-level establishment offering various beauty services. Central to this episode is the theme that 'bigger isn't always better,' as Rache emphasises the importance of self-trust, quality over quantity, and maintaining a balanced work-life dynamic. Nicola and Rache also explore the impact of having a smaller, more aligned team, and how it nurtures a stronger workplace culture. The episode touches on the importance of boundaries and self-care, making this a must-listen for business owners and beauty professionals alike.
