Is it just imposter syndrome or do you just need to put the reps in?

[Ashleah Walker @smashleah]

Traditional hairdressing is often designed for burnout.

I was taught that the goal is to get so booked to afford an assistant, and make more money by taking more clients.

I was also taught the only way to scale was to open my own salon and in addition to taking more clients, I

My comparison to others is the thief of joy.

And darling, nobody can do what you do
exactly the way you do it.

If you get tight in your belly
or in your mind,
please remember you are divine.

May you cast good spells today
with your heart energy,
in your words and deeds,
feel

Recent testimonials from Becoming Light:

"This education seriously shifted my entire career path, and was one of the best investments I've ever made in my business. I highly recommend for anyone experiencing burnout, feeling stuck, or looking to add more magic to your work, behi

If you don't have one already, go buy a pendulum.

Pendulums make excellent energetic tools for measuring your own energy and that of others.

I prefer pendulums made of wood (because they're lighter and give a nice swing), but ones with crystals are great too.

Someone said recently, "I want people to understand that what I'm doing here is beyond a haircut."

To that I say, do you think it's ok if we include that exact message in our consultation with guests right out the gate and on our marketing pages?

That sets the stage for them t

I don't know about you, but when I was a young apprentice I learned quickly that I felt the energy of everybody else in the salon.

I'm unsure if anybody else felt that way, but I'd go home and hide in a salt bath because I felt so fuzzy and foggy. I thought something was wrong

It's been a whirlwind of energy these past three years, but particularly this past year in relocating to Austin, expanding business, and finding true love.

I really have energy healing work to thank for all of these massive shifts in my life, even though I got into it on a whim

Someone reposted a NY Times article recently about how many experience "languishing" these days.

Languishing is neither good nor bad, but can feel like general stagnation, developed over time as a response to trauma.

I have definitely been there.

I know it's a big reason I wa

One of the biggest internal roadblocks to becoming a holistic hairdresser is the thought that you need to be Reiki certified.

And the truth is, you are already a natural healer because of your years behind-the-chair. Your RESULTS are your certification!

I had a lot of fear ab

Do you ever have writer's block when you devise a caption?

How many students I've heard think they have to devise some cutesy-poo title or say, "ugh, I don't even care about posting hair." Because for them it's so much more than hair. We do it to show we do our craft well, for

It's remote energy day for Becoming Light students!

Remote energy work is so fun because it's magic.

I remember the first time I received remote energy work, I could feel her fingers grazing over me and it was the coolest sensation. Just like that, I was transported to childli

Big key drop for me: Stop emotionally discounting, and treat everybody as if they're powerful.

I'm Ashleah, and I just had an amazing Clubhouse talk with @meta_hair about hairdressers, money, and the metaphysical.

We talked about money because the more financially sovereign ha

In AA, we used to call the negative voices in our head "the committee." The committee is eager to keep me down with various messages such as:

"I'm not smart enough. I'm unworthy. I have no idea what I'm doing. People are judging me. I just want to lose 10 pounds." Ad infinitum..

[Ashleah Walker @smashleah]

Happy Saturday, beauties.

I'm in DC this week! I'm so excited to see all the familiar (and some new) faces. The new hair lewks. The people who want energy work, especially those late-night appointments!

I wrote on a post-it 18 months ago I wanted to be a traveling stylist, and

[Ashleah Walker @smashleah]

I met @theconfessionsofahairstylist over 6 years ago and she changed my perspective on what's possible.

She was educating us on braiding, styling and photography and her energy was so kind. I was scared with styling, but she broke it down in a way that I believed I could master
