Where should your education budget actually go?
 
Every January we start planning…
What courses we’ll do.
What conferences we’ll attend.
What education we’ll invest in.
 
But not all education is created equal and not all of it deserves a spot in your budget.
 
In this episode, I’m joined by Tiarne McKew from The Lash Summit to break down how to assess education properly (beyond certificates or hype) and how to think about ROI in a way that actually supports business growth.
 
We cover:
🌸 How to tell if an event or course is actually worth your money
🌸 What ROI in education really looks like (and what it doesn’t)
🌸 Why some rooms create real opportunities — and others don’t
🌸 How to stop investing in education you never implement
🌸 How to make smarter, more intentional decisions with your education budget

We also accidentally touch on socials along the way.. because let’s be honest, it all connects.

I Stopped Working Nights & Weekends and My Business Didn’t Die
(Contrary to what the beauty industry told us)
 
The beauty industry has quietly sold us a lie, Let’s say it out loud.

“Clients only want nights and weekends.”

I bought into that… until I didn’t.
 
And yes… some people told me my business would fail.
Spoiler alert: it didn’t.
 
In this episode of the Beauty Business School podcast, I share how I slowly stopped working nights and weekends, lost a few clients, gained better ones, and built a business that actually fit my life.
 
We talk about:
Why nights and weekends aren’t as “necessary” as we think
How to shift your ideal client and marketing to reclaim your time
How to change your hours without freaking clients out or losing trust
If you’re craving more flexibility in 2026 but scared to step back, this one’s for you.

What if building a bigger beauty business isn’t actually the answer?
In this episode, I’m joined by Beauty Business School student Sarah Pegg, owner of The Lash Hub in Bundaberg, for one of the most honest conversations we’ve ever had on the podcast.
Sarah shares her full-circle journey from being fully booked, pregnant, overwhelmed and managing a team… to making the brave decision to downsize, simplify and build a business that actually supports her life.
We talk about:
The pressure to scale just because your books are full
Motherhood, burnout and running a business with an empty cup
Why trying “the big thing” helped her realise it wasn’t what she wanted
People-pleasing, guilt and learning to choose yourself
Pricing properly, profit clarity and finally feeling financially safe
Letting go of the idea that success has to look a certain way
This episode is our gift to you to stop chasing what you think you should want and start building a beauty business that actually feels good to run. You didn't start to feel STUCK.

This episode is literally me unpacking my entire year. The wins, the royal f*ck ups, the burnout, the pressure, the stuff no one sees on Instagram and the mindset shifts that actually changed how I show up.
I share:

💋 What actually happened behind the scenes this year
💋 The emotional shitstorm that nearly took me out
💋 The business decisions that brought me back
💋 What I learned about burnout, boundaries, nervous system regulation & leadership
💋 The truth about sponsorships, pricing myself, rejection & resilience
💋 The pivot that exploded our enrolments
💋 The moment I felt the proudest (yes, I nearly cried again)
💋 What 2026 is going to look like for Beauty Business School
Consider this your little nudge to reflect on your year, tidy up what’s not working, and back yourself moving forward.

This week’s episode is honestly one of the most powerful conversations I’ve ever had on the podcast. I sat down with Naomi from Beauty Business Evolution. 

This episode is PACKED with the kind of “oh my god… THAT’S why I’m burnt out / undercharging / struggling to convert” clarity that genuinely changes businesses.
 
Here’s a little taste:
🎀 Why so many women burn out
🎀 The permission led sales strategy (this is GOLD)
🎀 The ONE thing every beauty pro should master
🎀 What actually attracts high-paying clients
🎀 Money triggers & confidence
🎀 How to explain your value without sounding salesy
 
Honestly… this episode hits different. You’re going to be obsessed with this one.
