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
