Do you ever feel lonely — not the "I'm home alone" kind of loneliness, but the deeper kind? The kind where you're surrounded by people but can't find anyone who gets your ambitions, your struggles, or your desire to grow?

In this episode, Misty Jayne gets real about the funk she found herself in last year — and what she did to pull herself out of it. Whether you're a hairstylist in a suite feeling isolated, a salon owner craving deeper conversations, or a beauty professional who's ready to stop scrolling and start connecting, this episode is for you.

Misty shares:

1. Why hairstylists and salon owners are especially vulnerable to a unique kind of loneliness
2. How she went from struggling in silence to flying across the country solo to a retreat — and finding her business besties
3. The birth of The Messy Meetup, her intimate monthly digital community built for deep, real conversations
4. Why social media creates a false sense of connection (and what to do instead)
5. How to stop waiting for your people and start creating the rooms where they gather
6. Why you don't need a big budget or a big platform to build community — just a bat signal

If you're a hairstylist or salon owner who's into personal development, building a thriving beauty business, and showing up as your fullest self, this episode will light a fire under you.
