Let’s be honest—sometimes it feels like we’re doing everything and nothing at the same time. As beauty professionals, we’re not just providing services. We’re therapists, business owners, social media managers, product pushers, educators, and sometimes... miracle workers.
But what happens when you need the reset button?
If you’ve been feeling like your brain has 100 tabs open, you’re not alone. May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and I want to talk about the not-so-glamorous side of this industry—the days when you feel like throwing in the towel, not posting another reel, or canceling your whole calendar.
I’ve been there. I’ve cried between clients. I’ve doubted my gifts. I’ve even thought about walking away.
But every time I get to that breaking point, I remind myself: this is temporary.
And better yet—I have the power to reset.
Here’s how I reclaim my peace when things feel chaotic:
1. Block the Noise (and Your Time)
Turn off the notifications. Just for a few hours. Then map out your week in time blocks: client time, content creation, admin work, and personal time. Yes, personal time deserves a spot on the schedule.
2. Get Back to Your ‘Why’
What made you fall in love with this work? Was it the glow on your client’s face? Was it the independence? The creativity? Write it down. Stick it on your mirror. Reconnect with that feeling.
3. Give Yourself Permission to Pause
You don’t have to earn rest. Let me repeat that—you don’t have to earn rest. You are allowed to take a break before you burn out. You’re allowed to do nothing and still be worthy.
4. Ask for Help
Whether it’s hiring a VA, talking to a therapist, or reaching out to a mentor—let someone pour into you the way you pour into others. You were never meant to do this alone.
5. Celebrate the Small Wins
Some days, getting out of bed is the win. Some days, showing up for one client with a full heart is more valuable than a fully booked day with an empty spirit.
Your Reminder Today:
It’s okay to take your cape off. You’re still a hero.
The journey from mayhem to mastery isn’t about perfection—it’s about learning how to reset before you hit the wall. You’ve got this. And when you forget that you do, I’ll be right here to remind you.
XOXO 😘
