For this episode in the inner sanctum we're joined by Sarah, the owner of The Luxe Beauty Co. Sarah was raw and real on the challenges and growth that come with owning a beauty salon. She shared her personal journey, including managing two salon locations. And spoke into balancing family life, and navigating leadership as a woman. We delve into topics like resilience, the importance of vulnerability. As well as investing in yourself, and being authentic in leadership. And the importance of personal development and building a supportive team. 
This is truly an episode for EVERYONE. We know you'll love Sarah as much as we do. Enjoy!
