I Cancelled the Contract | Kailey owner of Kéya Salon

What happens when a business opportunity looks perfect on paper... but your gut says no?In this episode of The Samantha Parker Show, I sit down with returning guest Kailey Graziano, founder of Kéya Salon in St. George, Utah, to talk about one of the biggest business decisions she's ever made.After nearly signing a contract to open a third salon location across town, Kailey made a surprising pivot. Through prayer, intuition, conversations with her family, and trusting her instincts, she walked away from the expansion and chose a completely different path.The result?Kéya Salon is now expanding from 6 chairs to 15 chairs, growing its team to nearly 20 stylists, creating space for future services, and exploring opportunities that may include a day spa and even purchasing the building.Kailey's story is a powerful reminder that growth isn't always about doing more. Sometimes it's about trusting yourself enough to choose a different path.If you're a salon owner, entrepreneur, business owner, hairstylist, realtor, working mom, or someone navigating a major life decision, this conversation is packed with insights you won't want to miss.🎙️ Watch the full episode now on The Samantha Parker Show.Make an appointment at Kéya https://www.keyasalon.com/Follow Kéya on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/thekeyasalonWant to Work with The Samantha Parker for Content Management CLICK HEREFollow me on TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@samanthaparkershowYouTube https://www.youtube.com/@thesamanthaparkerInstagram https://www.instagram.com/thesamanthaparker/

The Samantha Parker Takeover Podcast Series EP5: Jennie with MEND Counseling

What Is Somatic Therapy? Jennie of MEND Counseling Explains Trauma, Nervous System Healing, and Building a Therapy Team.On the Samantha Parker Show takeover series, Samantha interviews Jennie, owner of MEND Counseling Center in St. George, Utah, a group practice with seven other therapists (adding one more) chosen for extensive experience handling complex trauma. Jennie explains somatic therapy as “body” work focused on how the nervous system records experiences, describing physiological responses like tension, shaking, numbing/shutdown, and how pausing and breathing can help process emotions so trauma doesn’t become encapsulated. She emphasizes talk therapy’s value for safety, witnessing, and building a roadmap, but says somatic tools help resolve activation so memories become “net neutral,” mentioning modalities like brainspotting/EMDR and the role of window of tolerance. Jennie shares her path from college softball to psychology, wilderness therapy, and bodywork, plus a year-long psychedelic-assisted therapy training, and describes building a team to help more people. They also discuss self-care, community collaborations like Samantha’s impact walks, and where to find MEND online.00:00 Welcome Back Jennie00:35 Blue Vibes Banter01:44 Meet MEND Counseling03:52 Somatic Therapy Basics05:53 Numbness Pause Trauma07:57 Talk Therapy vs Somatics11:56 Trauma Roadmap Safety15:14 Brainspotting Window Tolerance17:04 Why Jennie Became Therapist18:21 Softball Side Quest20:47 Somatics Bodywork Origins23:55 Talk Therapy Burnout24:23 Safe Adults for Kids25:10 Parents Creating Safety26:24 Making Therapy Engaging27:27 Why Build a Practice28:32 Psychedelic Therapy Safety29:56 Starfish Team Vision31:56 Leadership and Capacity34:26 Counterpressure Self Care38:55 Parenting and Connection40:32 Where to Find Mend40:59 Community Events and Wrap Up42:50 Traffic Banter GoodbyeJennie (MEND Counseling) InstagramWebsiteWant to Work with The Samantha Parker for Content Management CLICK HEREFollow me on TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@samanthaparkershowYouTube https://www.youtube.com/@thesamanthaparkerInstagram https://www.instagram.com/thesamanthaparker/

The Samantha Parker Takeover Podcast Series EP3: THE MONEY MAMA

On the Samantha Parker Show’s 2026 “Takeover” series, Samantha interviews returning guest Caramie Ann (“The Money Mama”) about women, money confidence, and why income isn’t the real problem mindset and habits are. They discuss how childhood programming shapes money beliefs, the difficulty of holding a new “wealth” identity, and how avoiding finances is often emotional rather than logical. Caramie Ann shares that hyper-fixating on expenses can be less effective than focusing on creating more income, and emphasizes automation (tax savings, gift/Christmas buckets) to reduce stress and build consistency. They explore how even very wealthy people can feel scarcity, why peace and freedom are “inside jobs,” and how confidence comes from knowing you can rebuild after loss. Caramie Ann describes her sessions helping clients gain clarity, ease, and a roadmap, and invites listeners to book a free money session at themoneymama.com.00:00 Show Kickoff00:53 Takeover Series02:21 Money Mindset Talk03:58 Distractions Break05:17 Purple Carrot Focus07:55 Stop Budget Obsession09:47 Automate Your Savings11:01 Gifts and Experiences14:31 How Wealthy Think16:25 Inner Peace Over Money17:56 Failing Without Fear18:17 Money Stress Isn’t Money19:18 Stop Carrying It All20:07 Avoiding the Numbers22:00 Money Coaching Roadmap23:12 Spending Guilt and Lattes23:56 House Build Money Mindset25:36 Money as Freedom and Purpose26:57 Creating Impact With Income30:53 Visibility and Growth Edges33:39 Building a Bigger Team34:27 Where to Find Money Mama34:50 2026 Build Year Wrap UpCaramie Ann:InstagramWebsiteWant to Work with The Samantha Parker for Content Management CLICK HEREFollow me on TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@samanthaparkershowYouTube https://www.youtube.com/@thesamanthaparkerInstagram https://www.instagram.com/thesamanthaparker/

The Samantha Parker Takeover Podcast Series EP2: DR STEVE

Dr. Steve Baum on Kaizen Health, Concierge Medicine, and Peptides/GLP-1sSamantha Parker interviews Dr. Steve Baum (owner of Kaizen Health), a board-certified family and obesity medicine physician who practices functional and concierge medicine with direct text access and a $99/month membership model without medication markups. They discuss her prior skepticism about peptides and GLP-1s due to extreme weight loss trends, clinics and influencers “selling” medications, and online gray-market peptide access, contrasting this with medically supervised use. DR. STEVE explains peptides as “midget proteins” (short amino-acid chains) that act as hormones, gives examples like Sermorelin/Ipamorelin for growth hormone release, and notes growing research interest. They cover GLP-1 safety history since 2002, common side effects (constipation, nausea), misconceptions like thyroid tumors, and reported reduced alcohol cravings. He emphasizes peptides/GLP-1s as tools alongside strength training, adequate protein, and sleep to preserve muscle and metabolism, and outlines Kaizen Health’s free initial consult and services.00:00 Meet Dr Steve00:49 Concierge Care Explained03:07 ER Story and COVID Chaos04:33 From OB Dreams to Family Medicine05:24 Why He Became a Doctor06:41 Humble Roots and Medical School08:03 Human First Medicine10:40 Kaizen Health Philosophy12:15 Leaving Corporate Medicine14:26 No Selling Just Care17:35 Influencers and Online GLP-1 Risks18:58 Peptides 101 Basics21:26 Hype Research and TikTok Truth24:22 Clinical Use and Side Effects Setup25:11 GLP-1 Beyond Weight Loss25:48 Fen-Phen Fears and Safety27:16 Phentermine Explained28:36 FDA vs Gray Market Peptides30:15 Side Effects and Lawsuits32:06 Bad Med Spa Dosing35:01 Tools Not Magic Fix35:50 GLP-1 and Alcohol Cravings37:28 Units vs Milligrams39:35 Running Faster With Weight Loss41:53 Muscle Protein Sleep Basics45:58 Kaizen Health How It Works47:55 Wrap Up and Where to FindDR STEVE:InstagramWebsiteWant to Work with The Samantha Parker for Content Management CLICK HEREFollow me on TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@samanthaparkershowYouTube https://www.youtube.com/@thesamanthaparkerInstagram https://www.instagram.com/thesamanthaparker/
