REAL TALK!!!!
My guest, Mistie Collins and I dive DEEP into the real talk on being a new mom in the beauty industry.
As a new mom, who chooses to go to work, we find ourselves constantly questioning if working is the right choice. As Mistie mentions.."sometimes I'm killing the game and sometimes I question what I'm doing... is working and missing out on watching my son grow truly worth it?" We are judged by clients, family and society on working OR staying home with our kids. Mistie and I agree that it's so important to just go with what feels right for the individual. She shares that, most days, working is so good for her mental health. Yes, she misses her son, however while working she gets to showcase her individuality and be "Mistie"!
We also dive into how she juggles work life balance and how she loves structure. She shares that postpartum was hard because of the lack of structure and control. We discuss Astrology and how being a Scorpio plays a role in her decisions and how it can affect working in the beauty industry with different clients and personality types. Mistie tells me that she is a firm believer in self reflection. She takes the time every day to give herself 30 mins of alone time to decompress and self reflect, which allows her to stay grounded. We also discuss that some days, being a beauty professional, we are the therapist (giver) and other days we are the receiver. We often pour into our clients naturally, however often times the table gets turned. She shares that, It's being strong in who you are and what you do to be able to understand and accept this.
Lastly we touch on triggers, and why they're important to sit with. How her clients energy effects her, what she does to release it and what her non-negotiable are now that she's a mom! You're going to love this episode!
Enjoy!
