More Than a Day Off: Honoring Rest, Reflection, and Resilience This Memorial Day

Today isn’t just another Monday.
It’s not just a day for cookouts or catching up on errands.
It’s a moment to pause, reflect, and honor.

On this Memorial Day, we take time to remember the brave souls who made the ultimate sacrifice while serving our country. The freedom we enjoy every day—including the freedom to build businesses, create legacies, and live out loud—is built on their courage.

Let’s take a moment to honor their memory:

[Pause for a moment of silence or share a name if you’re honoring someone personally today.]

Now, let’s talk about something else this day brings to light: rest and resilience.

As beauty professionals, we often feel pressure to always be available, always be grinding, always be producing. But holidays like this serve as a powerful reminder that:

Rest is not lazy.
Rest is not weak.
Rest is a form of strength.

Here’s what today is really about—for you:

1. Reflect on How Far You’ve Come
You’re not the same artist, esthetician, or entrepreneur you were even six months ago. You’ve grown through seasons that tried to break you. That alone deserves acknowledgment and celebration.

2. Rest Without Guilt
If your spa is closed today,
leave it closed.
If you’re spending time with family,
be present.
You don’t need to “sneak in some work” to justify your rest. You’ve earned this day. Period.

3. Recommit to Your Vision
Use this moment of stillness to get quiet and reconnect with your “why.” What are you building? Who are you building it for? And what kind of legacy do you want to leave behind?

Today is more than a long weekend.

It’s a reminder that freedom is sacred.
That
service matters.
And that
your purpose deserves protection.

So take today to rest. Reflect. And refuel.

Your next level will thank you for it.

XOXO 😘
