      EP 337: A Look Inside Daniela’s Calendar Management Process

      “Is this what the CEO of a seven figure company does?”

      The answer to this question is an important first step to start as you begin to understand where your time should be spent as you map out your calendar. 

      A time tracker exercise is going to help you pinpoint where you’re most efficient.

      It answers questions like…

      1. What time of day am I most efficient?
      2. When do I feel the most creative?
      3. What part of my day am I getting tasks accomplished?

      If you want to build a life where your time is spent intentionally doing the work that leads you toward:

      • Hitting your biggest goals (personally and professionally)
      • Always having a full cup (i.e. – you feel rested, energized and happy)
      • And allows you to cultivate balance between your business and/home life

      Then this episode is for you. 

      In this week’s episode on the Spa Marketing Made Easy podcast, I’m giving you an inside look at how I manage my calendar to make sure I’m optimizing my time in the most efficient way possible.

      In this episode, we discuss: 

      • My full calendar management process that allows me to fully show up as CEO in my business and as the wife and mom I aim to be at home
      • Time tracker exercise benefits to understand when you’re most productive
      • Why context switching makes you more unproductive
      • Understanding what the CEO of a seven figure company should really be spending their time on

                EP 335: Daniela’s Debrief: The Spa CEO Intensive Experience

                Do you make time for leadership development in your business?

                My personal growth has been a constant priority of mine over the last few years to work on becoming the best leader possible. 

                One of the most valuable lessons I’ve learned is to make time in my schedule to solely focus on personal development and building connections with like minded business owners that make me feel seen, heard, and valued.

                      EP 333: Balancing Your Feminine and Masculine Energies in Leadership with Alexa Bowditch

                      How do we balance these two energies in business? 

                      Can you be both feminine and masculine in a leadership role? 

                      Yes, especially in the spa industry, the coexistence of both energies helps you lead from a place of doing and from being

                      The first step (structure = masculine) is to slow down and allow yourself time to tap into the softer state of just being (emotions = feminine).

                      The traditional structure and systems of your business exert a masculine influence.

                      The game changer is being in connection with the people you lead allows vulnerability into the mix where you share a piece of who you are under your business owner shell. 

                      My guest on today’s episode of the Spa Marketing Made Easy podcast is a sex and relationship by design coach who is an expert on tapping into both energies to make you a well rounded leader. 

                      Alexa Bowditch, also known as ‘That Sex Chick’ across social media, is the founder of The Sex & Love Co. Community, a NY Times featured group with love, sex & relationships as the central focus.

                      In this episode, we discuss: 

                      • Balancing masculine vs feminine energy
                      • Giving yourself time to tap into feminine slowness
                      • Understanding congruence within yourself
                      • Ignoring limiting beliefs and leaning into developing a stronger connection with yourself and your feminine energy
                      • Priceless value of connecting with other like minded women

                          EP 332: 7 Steps to Build a 7 Figure Practice with Ease

                          Leadership is a learned skill. 

                          That they don’t teach you in aesthetics school.

                          It isn’t until you take the plunge into entrepreneurship do you truly enter the process of becoming a leader. 

                          This role shifts your focus and adds more responsibility outside of the client experience in the treatment room. 

                          My goal is to bridge this gap for spa owners and provide personal development training, guidance and expertise to help you step into the role of Spa CEO confidently.

                          On today’s episode of the Spa Marketing Made Easy, I’m sharing the seven steps to building a seven figure practice with ease.

                          In this episode, I discuss: 

                          • Boundaries around time
                          • Pricing your services and products appropriately
                          • Clear communication with your staff
                          • A systematized hiring and onboarding process
                          • Tracking the metrics that matter
                          • Crafting a holistic digital marketing strategy
                          • Building a business community

                            EP 331: The Power of Breathwork with Stefanos Sifandos

                            All of us have something from our life experiences that makes us brace

                            That’s what makes us human.

                            Whether it’s big trauma or small trauma, it holds the same weight for all of us. 

                            There’s priceless value as an entrepreneur to invest in personal development to make sure those unresolved feelings don’t show up in the workplace.

                            Stefanos Sifandos is no stranger to doing the work – specifically the power of breathwork. 

                            Joining me on this episode of the Spa Marketing Made Easy podcast, Stefanos is a trained educator and relationship expert with a background in behavioral science who is 

                            passionate about leading people closer to their highest potential and to each other.

                            For those unfamiliar with the practice of breathwork, it’s a technique of controlled breathing as a form of meditation or therapy. 

                            From trauma release to navigating the murky waters of modern masculinity to helping women understand the men in their lives, Stefanos helps people escape negative patterns and cultivate a positive sense of self. 

                            In this episode, we discuss: 

                            • The art of breathwork and techniques that impact us physiologically 
                            • How and why unresolved trauma come to us with greater awareness during breathwork
                            • The meaning of associative symbols and precursors of our trauma
                            • Association between the intensity of our trauma and the imprint it leaves on our lives
                            • How breathwork can help you close the loops of your trauma
                            • The relationship between entrepreneurship and personal development

                                    EP 329: Reconnecting with Your Inner Voices with Vasavi Kumar

                                    We talk to ourselves all the time. 

                                    Most of the time without even realizing it. 

                                    Inner dialogue is a way to process events that happen in our lives. The relationship that never stops growing is the one you have with your inner self.

                                    It’s an incredibly powerful journey to learn your own language. 

                                    Today’s guest is somebody who has relentlessly searched to find her own voice, access the freedom of her creative spirit, and help others along the way…out loud. 

                                    Coined as “Queen of Saying it Loud,” Vasavi Kumar has made it her life’s purpose to understand how her mind works after being diagnosed with bipolar at age 19. 

                                    Her mission is to share everything – the good, bad, and ugly – in order to normalize being human. 

                                    Tune in as we talk about the importance of reconnecting with your inner self as humans and as entrepreneurs. 

                                    In this episode, we discuss: 

                                    • Becoming a source of power for yourself
                                    • How we don’t need to over explain our desires in life or in business
                                    • Learning to slow our minds to understand awareness vs. thoughts
                                    • The power in exercising visualization for our dream life
