The Daily Groomer Podcast: Loren Hill Mesquita

The Power of Prioritizing Happiness as a Measure of Success

Hey, lovely listeners! It's your host, Alex Martin, and I am thrilled to bring you the latest episode of The Daily Groomer podcast. Today we have a very special guest, Loren Hill Mesquita, who is a successful salon owner with a fascinating journey in the grooming industry.

Loren started her career in the corporate world, but she eventually followed her passion and became a salon owner. What makes her story so relatable is her transition from the corporate world to owning her own salon. On top of that, Loren specializes in online presence and digital marketing, which has greatly contributed to attracting more customers to her salon.

One of the biggest takeaways from my conversation with Loren is the importance of prioritizing our own happiness as a measure of success. In a fast-paced industry like grooming, it's easy to get caught up in the demands of clients, employees, and family, often at the expense of our own well-being.

Loren shares her personal journey of realizing that the pursuit of financial success alone doesn't necessarily lead to fulfillment. It's not just about the dollar sign anymore. For Loren, true success lies in finding happiness in her work and personal life, and she encourages others in the grooming industry to do the same.

As a host, I've seen the pressures that groomers face firsthand. The emotional availability and non-availability required in this industry can often lead to emotional trauma, mental instability, and mental illness. It's crucial for us to learn how to relate and communicate with people in this industry in a different way, with empathy and understanding.

Another important aspect discussed in the episode is the balancing act of being a business owner. We delve into the challenges of coaching and training individuals, managing finances, making tough decisions, and dealing with the inevitable mistakes. Loren's honesty and transparency in sharing her own experiences are truly inspiring.

Ultimately, the key lesson we can take away from Loren's story is the power of prioritizing our own happiness. By setting clear goals, seeking advice, taking risks, and building relationships, we can create a business and a life that brings us joy and fulfillment. It's a reminder that success should align with our personal values and dreams.
