The Conscious Salon
Business is a family affair
This episode is one that’s truly close to our hearts. We sat down with someone who is not only our biggest supporter, but the heartbeat of our family - our beautiful mum.
We wanted to have an honest, vulnerable chat about how self-development doesn’t just impact you, but how it creates a ripple effect on the people around you. Mum shared what it’s been like watching us grow into this business, step outside our comfort zones (ice baths included 🥶), and how that’s inspired her to step into her own growth in quieter, meaningful ways.
We talk about the legacy of our incredible grandfather and how proud he’d be of the business we’ve built as sisters. There’s also a beautiful moment where Mum shares a message for all of the salon owners and women in our industry—those who are doing it all, often without enough support. It’s a reminder to ask, to trust, and to receive help when it's offered.
Of course, we finish - as always - with gratitude (and a few laughs along the way, including mum’s “pint of wine” 🍷 moment).
This one’s full of love, honesty, and a deep appreciation for the people who make what we do possible.
We hope it makes you smile, reflect, and maybe even feel a little more supported in whatever season you’re in.
