Six years ago today, I finished cleaning the salon after my last client.
I grabbed my things, headed to the parking lot, and called for my dog, Leroy—my constant companion—to come with me like he always did.
He wasn’t just a pet. He was family. He was my safe space. He was the one who had been there through my divorce, through depression, through every dark day I thought would swallow me.

That day, though, something felt off.
I could see it in the way he moved.
I bundled him into the car, called my partner, and we drove to the emergency vet.

Less than 36 hours after telling a colleague at Hair Love Retreat, “I love my dog so much—I can’t imagine going through that kind of pain,”
Leroy was gone.

Grief Like That Doesn’t Just Break Your Heart—It Breaks Your Spirit

The next day, I couldn’t work. I couldn’t speak. I couldn’t function.
My partner texted my assistant and cleared my entire week.

And honestly? I don’t remember much after that.
Not the next week. Not the next month.
Maybe not even the next three.

I wasn’t suicidal—but I was completely hopeless.
There was a void so big it swallowed every ounce of motivation I had.

But even in the fog, one thing gave me the space to fall apart safely:
The business I had built before the grief hit.

This Isn’t Just About Marketing or Pricing (Though We Cover That, Too)

Rock Your Business was built for moments like this.
The unexpected. The overwhelming. The moments where you can’t fake being “fine.”

Inside, I teach you how to:

• Build a business that supports your real life
• Communicate hard things without spiraling into shame or fear
• Set boundaries with kindness and love (instead of people-pleasing)
• Reduce mental stress and create sustainable income
• Feel strong—even when everything else feels fragile

Because business isn’t just about what you do—it’s about how you live.
And you deserve to live well, even when things are hard.

For the Quiet Ones, the Overthinkers, the Still-Showing-Up Souls

This kind of peace, clarity, and security isn’t just for the naturally confident or the always-on extroverts.
It’s for the sensitive ones.
The ones who overgive.
The ones who are burned out but still showing up.

I used to be the girl who didn’t think she had what it took.
Shy. Small-town. Introverted. Insecure.
But I chose to rise.

And I still choose it—every time I want to hide or shrink or quit.
