EP 30: Stylist to Educator: The Unspoken Transition

I've been in the hair industry for 16 years - and for 8 of those, I've been teaching. And let me tell you… becoming an educator isn’t what people think it is. In this episode, I’m opening the curtain on what really comes with the job: the expectations, the ego, the weird energy, the burnout, the responsibility - and the deep satisfaction that comes from it too. If you’ve ever thought about teaching, mentoring, or sharing your craft with others, this is the episode I wish someone had made before I started.

EP 29: Why Clients Don’t Care About Your Certs

In this episode of Mourning Tea, I’m getting into the uncomfortable truth: certifications aren’t doing what you think they’re doing.Yes, I said it. Clients aren’t booking you because of a piece of paper. They don’t care how many methods you’re “certified” in - they care about results. I’m talking about why certifications have become more about ego and less about effectiveness, why some “certified” stylists are still struggling, and why I’ll always choose strong work over a flashy certificate.Whether you’re self-taught, certified 20 times over, or somewhere in between - this one’s for you.

EP 28: You Made the Money. Now What? FT Misty

On this episode of Mourning Tea, I sit down with accountability coach Misty to talk about the one thing that still makes most stylists squirm - money. We unpack financial trauma, why six figures isn’t the finish line, and how our early beliefs about money can quietly sabotage even our most successful seasons. If you’ve ever felt stuck, ashamed, or confused when it comes to your finances, this conversation is for you. Misty brings both honesty and hope to a topic that deserves way more airtime in our industry.Follow Misty on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/_mistyjayne_/

EP 27: 3 Salons. 65 Stylists. How She Did It.

On this episode of Mourning Tea, I’m joined by one of the most impressive salon owners I’ve ever met—Jessica, aka Jess X Ness on Instagram. She’s built not one, not two, but three thriving booth rental salons (plus a skincare studio) in California—and get this: she has a waitlist for stylists who want to work with her.We talked about what it really takes to build culture, why she still works behind the chair three days a week, how she filters for green flags during interviews, and the vending machine setup I still dream about. If you’ve ever struggled to build—or keep—a team that feels like a team, this one’s for you.

EP 26: The Mindset Shift That Got Me Posting Again

On this episode of Mourning Tea, I’m tackling one of the most common things I hear in my DMs: “I haven’t posted in forever and now I don’t know how to come back.” Whether it’s been a few weeks or a whole year, I’m breaking down how to reset your mindset, build a content bank without overthinking, and finally hit “post” without spiraling. If you've been feeling stuck, this episode is the nudge you’ve been needing.
