In this episode of Salon Conversation, Lisa talks honestly about something many salon, spa, and clinic owners don’t even realise they’re doing, basing their happiness on everyone else being okay.

Lisa calls it “third person happy.”
I’ll be happy when the team is settled.
I’ll be happy when the kids are good.
I’ll be happy when the salon feels calm.

The problem? That moment rarely lasts.

In this deeply relatable conversation, Lisa explores:

• Why busy women often put their happiness last
• How team dynamics can quietly drain your energy
• Why boundaries protect your joy (not just your business)
• The danger of “I’ll be happy when…” thinking
• Simple daily rituals that regulate your nervous system and refill your cup

This episode is a reminder that leadership doesn’t mean absorbing everyone else’s emotions - and that your happiness is not a reward you earn after everything else is done.

If you’re a salon owner who feels tired, stretched, or emotionally hijacked by the needs of others, this conversation will land exactly where it needs to.
