In today’s episode of The Life of KG, Katie sits down with Andrea from Andrea Danielle, a former teen mum who refused to let her circumstances define her future. What started as a massage bed in her living room has now grown into a fully booked home salon, a team member, sold-out workshops, kids pamper parties, a mentoring business, and a brand-new regulated training academy.

If you’ve ever worked from home, or you want to, this episode proves just how far you can go without ever stepping onto a high street.

This conversation is raw, inspiring, and packed with real strategies you can take into your own business today.

In This Episode, We Cover:

• Becoming a mum at 16 and rebuilding her life with zero excuses

• Starting a beauty business from the living room (with a toddler watching TV!)

• Growing into a full home salon and hiring her first employee

• Tripling her income after joining the KG Mastermind

• The freedom of being able to pay bills without stress

• Creating children’s pamper parties & involving her daughter

• Building confidence on camera and finding her voice

• Using her story to land press features and local media

• Launching a regulated training school (Level 1, Level 5 & Level 7)

Making money in your sleep…. It’s actually a thing!

So proud of my client @beautyboxbybecstraining

She has been part of my GROWTH mastermind for 6 months & just resigned for another 6 months!

Bec specialises in lashes & the queen of lash styling.

Over the last 6 months she has really been building the systems, doing the ground work, really focusing on what she wanted from her business & building her education business in-person & online!

The consistency & hard work Bec has done is truly paying off!

- She works her set hours in the studio, yet making more!

- She has gone viral several times but has blown up her business

- She has opportunities coming her way more than ever

- She has built up her training & making money online

- She has had her best January yet!

PROUD!

This is proof that even if you want set hours, not working full time & want to work around small children but build a business you CAN!

Highly recommend you check out Bec’s training & ebooks for styling!

In this episode of The Life of KG, I’m joined by my incredible friend and client Ellie Edwards, owner of Beauty by Ellie Solihull, a lash, brow and now hair salon, plus a successful training academy.

Ellie shares the powerful (and emotional) story of how a family emergency changed her entire career path, leading her from a planned future in the police force to becoming one of Solihull’s most in-demand beauty entrepreneurs.

We dive deep into what it really takes to grow a beauty business today, from mobile appointments until midnight, to managing staff, introducing new services, building a strong team culture, learning boundaries, and scaling while becoming a mum.

This episode is real, raw and full of golden nuggets for any salon owner, educator, or mum in business who wants more freedom, more income and less burnout.

• How a sudden life event pushed Ellie into the beauty industry

• From retail job + mobile nights to running a packed home salon

• Why saying “yes” to everything in the beginning builds long-term success

• The reality of burnout, 14-hour days and losing your identity in your business

• Learning boundaries and why clients aren’t your friends

• The truth about hiring, managing and losing staff

• Why pregnancy became her biggest business blessing

• How Ellie created a business that makes money without her being on the tools

• The rise of threading: the overlooked, high-profit skill salon owners need

Welcome back to my client success stories. Today I interview Polly over on Instagram.

In this live, we talk about:

• What it’s really like being inside a mastermind when your friends and family don’t quite “get” business

• Why support and community matter even when things are going well

• Stepping back from treatments without guilt and becoming a better leader because of it

• Creating more time, more freedom, and more headspace without burning everything down

• How mindset, structure, and clarity quietly change how you run your business and your life

She shares what’s shifted for her over the last year, both personally and professionally, and why she chose to commit to a second year inside Scale. It’s such an open, refreshing conversation, and I know a lot of you will see yourselves in it.

Polly also offers PMU training and digital products, so go and check out her page!
