The Spa Strong Podcast
Spa Strong was created to help ESTHETICIANS build their business, income & a QUALITY clientele while unleashing their inner BADASS through BOUNDARIES, BALANCE, HEALTH, and SAFETY. We created this podcast so we can discuss what is not commonly discussed in the Spa Industry.

In today’s Episode, we dive deep into the success of others and why its important to not assume that they did not go through hard things to reach their success.
You have to remember that the majority of people only show you their successes, and not what they went through to get there. So don't get to caught up on envy.

In Part Two of this Episode with Ryan Ellis, Anxiety Coach, we got to talk more about issues that add to anxiety and things that can help you overcome it.
Namely, we discussed perfectionism, excuses, and overwhelm. These are roadblocks that hold so many people back in their goals and in their lives! Listen in as we discuss how you can overcome these and continue making strides toward what you want!
Ryan struggled with anxiety his entire life, and over the past few years has made it his mission to understand and gain control of it. Through his own discoveries and progress, he has started working with other individuals who struggle with anxiety and has helped them learn to control over it, too.

In this Episode of The Spa Strong Podcast, we had the pleasure of speaking with Jordan Mendoza. Jordan is a Permanent Makeup Artist and owner of Wink Aesthetics in Draper, UT. She also has studios in San Diego and Chicago.
Lately Jordan has focused her PMU skills on PMU correction and removal. This is because, unfortunately, there are a lot of people who are offering PMU certifications but are not experienced enough to be teaching.
Listen in as we discuss the 6 main things that Jordan recommends looking for in a PMU trainer. AND HEY! If you aren’t a PMUA or interested in becoming a PMUA, this episode still applies to you because these points work for ANY beauty service training, from lashes to spray tanning to speed waxing!

In this Episode of The Spa Strong Podcast, we had the pleasure of speaking with Kenesha Coleman. Kenesha is a Certified Public Accountant based in Chicago, IL. She is the owner of Coleman Tax where she works specifically with Beauty Entrepreneurs to help them stay on top of all their tax and accounting needs.
Understanding the ins and outs of accounting and taxes is not easy, and it isn’t something we learn about in esthetics school. Often times, estheticians face issues with their taxes and with staying on top of their expenses and where their money is going. That’s where a CPA like Kenesha comes in!
After working as an auditor for the IRS, Kenesha realized that too few small businesses understand the complicated process of filing taxes and taking full advantage of write-offs or other money-saving opportunities. So she has dedicated her career to helping beauty entrepreneurs have the accounting and tax support they need.
Listen in to learn about the differences between a book keeper, accountant, CPA, etc, and about other resources you should take advantage of to keep your money organized as a beauty business owner!

In this Episode of The Spa Strong Podcast, we wanted to talk to y’all about setting boundaries at your spa! This is something we were talking to one of our beautiful estheticians about recently, and we thought it’d be a good idea to share the concept with all of y’all.
If setting boundaries and standing up for yourself and your business don’t come easily or are new concepts for you, it can feel really awkward and uncomfortable to start. But, that doesn’t mean it’s the wrong thing for you to do!
So what does it mean to be a “Boundary Athlete”? You’ll have to listen to find out! And don’t forget to download the cheat sheet at https://www.spa-strong.com/38 so you can get the most out of this Episode.

In this Episode of The Spa Strong Podcast, we wanted to talk to y’all about safety today! This is something we are both so passionate about and we know it’s been a while since we’ve discussed it! So get ready for some empowerment (and some laughs!) during this Episode.
Royal has been a police officer for 5 years, and M’Lisa went through most of the LAPD Police Academy, so here we share our 5 favorite safety tactics we learned from our Academy training. Now, you may be thinking, “Okay that’s nice and all, but I’m not a cop, so do I really need to know this stuff??” The answer is YES! Even if you aren’t a police officer, the tactics we share are so applicable and important to know in this unpredictable world we live in.
So grab your notebook and listen to our 5 favorite safety tactics:
- Keep your head on a swivel
- Keep your gun hand free
- Greet everyone around you
- Be aware of the threats and cover
- Give commands
What do each of those actually mean for you? You’ll have to listen to find out! And don’t forget to download the cheat sheet (directly above!) so you can get the most out of this Episode.

In this Episode of The Spa Strong Podcast, we had the pleasure of speaking with David Lee. David is a website developer and owner of Beauty Business Info, where he creates websites for beauty professionals.
David’s philosophy is that your website should WORK for you. In this episode, we dive into what that means, why it matters, and what needs to change if your website isn’t where it should be already!
He also explains more about the service Beauty Business Info provides for beauty pro’s, the resources available on the sites they create, and the investment— Which, can we just say, is extremely affordable considering what you’re getting!
As someone who created her own websites for years, I can’t begin to tell you how grateful I am that we finally just paid someone else to do it for us this time around. You’ve got better things to do with your time than learn how to navigate a website creation site, learn and edit code, figure out how to trouble shoot and fix bugs, etc.
If you’re in need of a new site, Beauty Business Info may be a great option for you! You can check them out and learn more by following the links down below:

SO, this episode is a little different in the sense that it is Raya sharing the story of going from a dinky little studio spa to a 7-figure wax/microblading spa, and the unbelievable challenges and setbacks she faced along the way.
We are all going through a difficult time with COVID-19, along with all the other trials we face in regular day-to-day life, so we wanted to bring you this true story of someone who manifested and accomplished her goals even when the cards were stacked against her.
Our hope is that you will leave this episode enlightened, inspired, empowered, and motivated to take whatever comes your way and KEEP GOING.
