DeAnna Episode 29

In this inspiring episode of the Her Xpansion Podcast, host Dee Taggart sits down with Mandie Sue Evans, founder of The Scalp Lounge and Academy M Education. Mandie Sue shares her journey from growing up with a hairstylist mother, to building her own career behind the chair, to stepping into entrepreneurship with a mission to bring deeper confidence and education to women everywhere.

Together, they discuss the power of connection, the importance of discovering and leaning into your strengths, and how to embrace both motherhood and business with passion. Mandie Sue opens up about the challenges of balancing service, family, and vision—while showing how faith, resilience, and self-belief have fueled her growth.

Her story reminds us that confidence comes not just from what we see on the outside, but from listening to our inner voice and daring to act on the dreams placed in our hearts.

In this conversation, we discuss:

  • How Mandie Sue discovered her strengths and turned them into a thriving business.

  • Why hairstylists are often “hair therapists” and how to protect your energy while serving others.

  • How balancing motherhood and entrepreneurship shaped her mission and vision.
  • Practical lessons on faith, resilience, and leaving a legacy for future generations.
