Overwork’d and Vacaion’d

In this episode of *Get Coached*, Jennessa Couture emphasizes the importance of taking a break and prioritizing self-care. She encourages salon owners and stylists to set aside time for a real vacation, or even just a weekend unplugged, to prevent burnout and boost creativity.

Jennessa explains how chronic stress elevates cortisol levels, which inhibits critical thinking, and shares the benefits of decompressing. To help salon owners feel comfortable taking time off, she suggests creating systems and using tools like a private Instagram account or Google Drive to provide team members with all necessary resources in their absence.

This week’s homework is to start planning a vacation, even if it’s just in the early stages, to give yourself something to look forward to.
