Feeling guilty with team

In this episode of The Conscious Salon, we go deep into the real emotional landscape that comes with running a salon – specifically, the guilt that creeps in when you"re trying to lead, grow and support your team, all while maintaining your own wellbeing. We talk about our personal experiences with guilt – from feeling bad for taking time off, to micromanaging because we don"t want to "burden" others, to the subtle pressure to be liked by everyone. We get honest about the thoughts we"ve had and the growth it’s taken to shift into more conscious leadership. We also share three tangible mindset shifts you can start practising today to help manage guilt more effectively – whether you’re a salon owner or a team member. In this episode, we discuss:Why guilt is such a common thread in salon leadershipThe link between guilt and people pleasingThe stories we tell ourselves around delegation and supportHow guilt shows up in micromanagementThe power of letting others help you (and how that helps them too)Three actionable tools to shift your guilt mindset todayHow to reframe moments of guilt as growth opportunities Your 3 Conscious Guilt Tools:Say less – resist the urge to overexplain when you feel guiltyAsk yourself: would I expect someone else to feel guilty in this same situation?Look for the opportunity – what could someone else gain from this space you"re creating?
