Are You Proud of Your Business Yet?

Welcome to the first episode of 2025 on Lash and Legacy! We’re kicking off the year with an incredibly raw and honest episode featuring a real coaching session with one of my clients. This isn’t just another business chat—it’s an intimate glimpse into the mindset shifts and challenges that come with running a beauty business.
In this episode, we discuss:
The importance of being proud of the business you’re building and giving yourself grace through the process.
How your business can serve as a mirror, reflecting limiting beliefs and helping you grow.
Why throwing things at the wall to see what sticks only works to a point—and when it’s time to shift gears.

We also discuss how many high-achieving women feel challenged when they begin working with a coach—and why that’s a good thing. Growth is uncomfortable, but having someone to guide you through it can make all the difference.
This episode is packed with insights to help you reflect on your own journey. Are you leaning into your potential? Are you proud of the business you’re creating?
Key Takeaways:

How To Not Pick the Wrong Goals To Go After in 2025

One of my favorite decision making processes goes like this: identify what didn't work, learn from that, don't do it again.
 
It may seem simple, but when it comes to setting and chasing goals, there are a lot of ways it goes wrong, then we give up and sit in the feeling of failure. 
 
I don't want you to do that in 2025. 
 
While dreaming big is exciting, aligning your goals with your vision, values, and long-term success is essential.
 
In this episode, discover why doing less—but better—leads to faster progress and how clarity in your goals creates momentum. I share personal insights from my journey as a high-achieving entrepreneur and break down a practical, aligned goal-setting process rooted in NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) to help you move into the new year with intention and focus.
This episode also tackles common mindset blocks around goal-setting—like comparison, fear of failure, and all-or-nothing thinking—so you can overcome them and stay on track toward your vision.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
Why setting the right goals is more important than setting more goals
How to identify and release what’s no longer serving you
The connection between clarity, focus, and momentum in achieving your dreams
How to break big goals into actionable steps you can confidently take
Five common mindset traps that sabotage goal-setting—and how to shift those limiting thoughts
