What does it mean to build a business,and a life, around care? Not just for others, but for yourself?

In this episode, I’m joined by Emily Condle, founder of Sage HeadSpa, clinical esthetician, and mom of two. Emily shares her deeply intentional approach to entrepreneurship, wellness, and self-care, and how burnout led her to reimagine the beauty industry from the inside out.

We go deep on the realities of leading and nurturing at the same time, protecting your energy, and honoring what your body and business need from you in different seasons. You’ll leave this conversation with practical ways to tune in to your nervous system, protect your peace, and create sustainable success on your own terms.

In this episode

• The burnout that sparked Emily’s journey to creating Sage HeadSpa

• How she’s redefining what self-care looks like (hint: it’s not always bubble baths)

• Boundaries, ambition, and learning to lead without leaking energy

• Scalp health, nervous system regulation, and building rituals that truly nourish

• Why intentionality, not perfection, is the key to sustainable success

• Parenting, partnering, and putting yourself back on the list

What if the biggest business of your life started in your backyard, with a paintbrush in one hand and a baby bump in the other? That’s exactly how Juliana VanLaanen launched 2MamaBees, a now multi-million-dollar, award-winning company designing eco-friendly children’s playhouses.

In this episode, Juliana shares the raw, behind-the-scenes story of building a national brand while navigating pregnancy, burnout, and bold pivots. We get into the real talk about scaling fast, saying yes to risk, and why moms are secretly the best CEOs. If you’ve ever questioned if you can grow a dream while raising tiny humans, this one will light a fire under you.

We talk about:

• How a side hustle to help a friend reignite her purpose turned into a multimillion-dollar company

• The reality of working 14-hour days in a warehouse,while 9 months pregnant

• Why saying “yes” (and sometimes failing) was the key to growth

• Lessons learned from manufacturing overseas during COVID (and the pivot that saved their business)

• How Juliana juggles multiple companies, a full family life, and still follows her intuition

• Why resilience, not perfection, is what builds a sustainable business
