I quit doing hair! ever thought about it? Gina's Journey into becoming a hairstylist & why she quit!
Guest Episode with gina devine at 100k followers working with brands and traveling educator she took the leap forward to leaving hair.
Before we dive in, I want to offer a gentle trigger warning: in this episode, we’ll be talking about deeper healing work — including inner child wounds, shadow work, therapy, and the emotional realities of doing the work to reconnect with yourself. These conversations may bring up emotions, memories, or discomfort. If you need to pause or take care of yourself at any point, please do.
*This is not medical advise just an honest conversation about what it really looks like to heal and grow — beyond the aesthetic version of wellness we often see on social media. *
This is a grounded conversation about coming back to yourself and creating a mindful, spacious business from the inside out.”

We talk negative experiences with a healer, therapist, or “spiritual guide”? The importance of doing our due dilingence
🧭 Integration & Moving Forward
Losing 40k followers reallly a loss? shifting in her business outside of hair and life lessons we both have learned from healing.
Lastly💕I hope this episode reminded you that mindfulness isn’t just meditation and morning routines—it’s also about facing what’s uncomfortable, healing what’s been hidden, and building a life and business with intention. Healing isn’t linear or glamorous, but it’s worth it. And it makes you a more grounded stylist, business owner, and human. If this resonated with you, pass it along to another beauty pro who’s doing the work too. And remember: you don’t need to be fully healed or have it all figured out to create a beautiful, balanced business. You just need to stay mindful.Follow me @celestethestylist or gina.devine on instagram
