Balancing Business, Family, and Personal Growth

In this episode, we share our work-life balance experiences, particularly how we manage our salon business, familial responsibilities, and personal growth.

We discuss the importance of taking breaks for personal replenishment.

We also share our perspectives on software tools and organizational methods that facilitate smooth business operations, including different types of calendars, shared to-do lists, booking software, and collaborative tools like Slack for team communication.

Finally, we wrap up with an emphasis on managing schedules and ensuring quality family time, making time for vacations, and prioritizing self-care to ensure a healthier work-life integration.
