To make 6 figures a year you gotto make 274 or 74.
Dollars a year, right a day a. Day, so that's working seven
days a week. So now if you make calculations
and make little tweaks on how many days a week do you want to
work, then you have, you know, you kind of combine the money
(00:20):
because now at 274 a day, that'sonly 1900.
It's a $1918 a week. Like how many of you guys are
already making that? So now let's say you only want
to work. Five days a week.
Five days a week, that's $383 a day.
(00:41):
And it comes down to not necessarily doing services
because you could, but it's like, how do you sell products?
How do you sell these? You know, these like for me,
it's the EM ES or the this. And and you take it to where
it's not necessarily. Yes, the money is the bottom
line, But I also feel like when you're connected with what
(01:01):
you're supposed to do, not even I don't even like the word
supposed what you're meant to do, what you're what you're
called to do, then that. That's easy.
That's easy. You have to nourish your body
and you have to nourish your body from the inside out.
There's no it doesn't matter what you put on the outside.
If you're not nourishing your body, it doesn't matter and you
(01:23):
have to be balanced. It balanced whether it's God or,
you know, creator or universe orsource, whatever you want to
believe in, whatever your highest self is that you have to
be in alignment. You have to be in alignment
because otherwise then you're, you know, you're kind of
shooting blanks all over the place.
You don't, you don't know where you're going.
And then the glow is like, OK, you know what, that's your
(01:46):
blueprint right there. You know your skin is your
blueprint, and if you don't havethat nourish part, then you
can't have the balance. And if you don't have the
balance and you can't have the glow, you can't have the glow
without the. So it's like, it's all like this
perfect trifecta, yes. Hello, everyone.
(02:08):
Welcome back to Beauty Bound with your host, Crystal Rubio.
You can find me and Beauty Bound.
I'm not Beauty Bound, Beauty Probookkeeping on Instagram.
And like I told you guys last week, this might look a little
different now just because Jackie is gone now.
She is in North Carolina. But I do have a wonderful guest
today. Her name is Alejandra.
(02:30):
She's all the way from Colorado.She was here for Glow and
Gather. And so I'm so excited for you
guys to get to know her, to get to know her business and just,
you know, she has, she has a good story and she is a licensed
esthetician. So I'll let her introduce
herself. Hello, thank you for having me
(02:50):
Crystal. And like you mentioned, I am an
intuitive, holistic aestheticianand I also do a lot of energy
work as well as doing retreats, spiritual retreats.
And what is the name of your business?
Because you have two. I do so the retreat business is
Camino and Cantado, and then theaesthetics is Enchanted Glow
(03:12):
Aesthetics and healing and energy.
Healing and energy healing. So one of the cool things, so I
met her actually, she was referred to me by another one of
my clients who I had honestly just known for like a day, I
believe also from Colorado. And so you are you, you actually
called me. And I think when I saw your
(03:33):
voicemail, I called you right away.
But one of the, the cool things for me was just how like your
energy and like the, the need and the want to be able to help
others. And so that resonated with me a
lot because my whole thing for me is like, I, I want to see
people grow. I want to be able to, to see the
(03:55):
growth. And but when you were telling me
about the two businesses and that you were trying to do
bookkeeping for each one individually, at first I was
like, yes, that's how it's goingto work.
But then like after seeing your structure and the way that the
business were going to work, I didn't see how we could split
that because they go hand in hand with each other.
Absolutely. So I know you have a trifecta
(04:17):
and there is a way that all thatcame about.
So can you tell us a little bit of how that came about, how you
started with all this because you haven't been in the industry
for very long? I haven't actually, I would say
it was, it's been about 2 1/2 years, almost three years that I
have been doing the retreats. And the way that started was
that I had been for the, for thelater part of my life, I was
(04:41):
actually with the federal government and I was helping
first I was helping immigrants integrate into the community.
And then I then I transferred over to Homeland Security and
then I transferred over to the Equal Employment Opportunity
Community Commission. So my heart has always been out
there for people. But then I got really sick.
(05:01):
I got really, really sick. And I had to just, you know,
just take a pause and, you know,kind of like refocus on myself
and what was my purpose. And when I, you know, when I
turned in my badge, that's when I realized that I had no idea
who I was. I mean, when I started taking
those labels away from, you know, mother or wife, employee,
(05:26):
investigator, friend, I, I, I was left with and I didn't know
who that was. So that was a scary moment in my
life. That was like, okay, you know
what? You're halfway through your life
and you don't know who you are. Because it's you go through
that, I think, I think it's, it does happen like when you get
into your, you know, late 30s, early 40s and even like 40 on
(05:49):
where you do kind of your kids are starting to grow up, right?
And you do start questioning everything like who, you know,
like for me it was like, who is Crystal, right, You know, and
for you, I'm sure like who is Alejandra?
Like who is this person? Sure.
If we were to take all that away.
All of it. And even your name is given to
you like you don't even like those are parts of you know.
So that made me realize that it's like, OK, I was placed on
(06:12):
this earth for purpose, but I don't know what that purpose is.
Okay, so and then I had the ability to.
So I guess it was one of those nights and I said, you know
what, I'm going to go to India, I'm going to go to India.
And why India? I don't know.
I just chose well, and it was kind of like that without really
(06:33):
necessarily thinking that. So I ended up going and I went
by myself. I went with two other people,
but I didn't know who they were.So we were kind of both looking
for the same thing. You know, all three of us were
looking for the same thing. Well, you know, to meet the Long
story short, that was a completepivotal moment for me.
So then then I said, OK, you know, I have always had a heart
(06:56):
for helping people. And so those people, they
unfortunately or fortunately, the way you want to look at it,
it always seems to be like, you know, the women who have given
their all, you know, work, kids,husband, you know, everything.
So you give your all and you endup losing yourself.
(07:19):
So I'm like, OK, so I needed to take that step back.
You know, my daughter had already kind of gone to school
and then my son is 15, so he's, you know, on his way out.
So then I'm like, like, OK, So what happens if I can't take
care of myself? And so at that point, I'm like,
OK, let's do this. I came back completely a
(07:40):
different person. I was like, OK, I need to do
these retreats because it was soinstrumental for me when I came
back that it's not about the retreats themselves.
It's what you do when you come back.
It's that integration component because you know, you're in a
retreat and you're like, you know, in high heaven, right?
(08:02):
You're, you know, you've got allthe rainbows, all the unicorns,
so everything is perfect. But then you come back to
reality and if you don't integrate, that's when you know,
then you go back to square 1. So that's when I started saying,
OK, you know what? I need to do these retreats.
And then it happened to be that I am from Mexico and it's the
(08:24):
northern part of Mexico, which is this little town, Cuatro San
Agoscuola. And I just grew up there, right?
So I didn't know the beauty of what this place held.
So it happened to be that the trajectory of the total eclipse
was happening last year in April.
So I'm like, what better than todo a New Beginnings retreat
(08:45):
there? And you bring, you know, you
come back to the origin of life,which is, excuse me, the origin
of. Well, yeah, of life of the
microorganisms, which are still found in Guadrosineas to this
day. Oh, wow.
So. So I did it.
And then again, that was anotherteaching moment for me.
So as I'm growing, as I'm, I'm expanding, I, you know, it's one
(09:07):
of those things that you just keep becoming more aware,
becoming more aware of who you are and that we're just walking
this like your soul is literallycovered by this thing called
your body. So anyway, so that's how I
(09:28):
started with the retreats. And then, you know, I've always
been super intuitive, super, super intuitive to the point
where 9 times out of 10, my cases were solved because of my
intuition. So it's just talking to
somebody, you know, being able to communicate with how that
person looked, how that person like that energy that they gave
(09:50):
off. And I'm such an impact that
sometimes I feel so much energy that it's like I needed to
figure out how to protect myself.
Because sometimes, I mean, therewas like tears coming out, but
they weren't mine, which is really weird.
I got 100% get that. I know when I started, one of
(10:12):
the times that I started feelingthat because I'm I feel like I'm
an empath. I had to.
You definitely are. Because I didn't know exactly
how to handle it. And I was like, God, this is
not, you know, they're not my emotions.
They're not my feelings. Please.
Take them away. From me, you know, because I
didn't understand it and then until I finally learned to to be
like, you know what, God, I knowthey're not my emotions and
(10:34):
you're giving them to me, but that means is because that
person doesn't know how to handle it.
So help me take them away from them.
And that was it, you know. How to transmit them?
How to transmit them to? But it took a while because even
for one time I just said I don'twant this.
Yes, yeah. Yeah, so I remember that.
No, that's and thank you for sharing because it's, it's so
interesting that so many people do have this empathic ability
(10:58):
and they don't know what to do with and then they shut down
because they, I mean, they're feeling things that they don't
even know how to process. So with that said, I started
becoming more curious about whatthis meant and how you know how
to incorporate that and how to bring it into to life, right.
So, so I started, you know, learning and becoming more in
(11:23):
tune and more aware of how to learn how to incorporate these
gifts that I was given. So then from there, I, it was
interesting because it's very, sometimes it's very taboo and
you don't, you know, you don't know how to say it because you
don't know how some people might, might see it.
(11:44):
So that was really impactful forme.
And then I started thinking, well, you know what, this is a
gift. Let me embrace it, let me see
what happens. And as soon as I started doing
that, that whole taboo feeling kind of went away.
So, so then that that was the second part of the component.
And then the third component waslike, OK, you know what?
(12:05):
I really like skin. I've always liked, you know,
just how it's a blueprint. It's a blueprint of where you've
been so many times. People want to change the way
they look and they want to change the way they look because
they're not thinking of how grateful they should be that,
(12:28):
you know, not very many people get to be 50.
I just turned 50. No, not many people get to turn
50. You're right.
You know, not many people get toturn, you know, 12.
Not many people get to turn 70. So each step of the way
ungrateful and we're so. Ungrateful for my for my
wrinkle. But you're thinking you're like,
Oh my gosh, I can do this or I can do that.
(12:49):
And then you see people that youlook at them and then you're
like, OK, you've met them, but you're like, you don't look the
same. So you've completely changed
your Physiology because or your,you know your, your looks
because of the way that you knowwhat, what society wants you to,
to look like. I mean, we're not Barbies.
We're not meant to be Barbies. And then there's all these
(13:10):
freaking filters now. Everywhere SO.
It's like, you know, you see thewrinkles and I'm just on
Instagram. If I'm going to do a quick
start, I'm like, fuck this, thislike wrinkles.
I don't want them. You know, right?
Yeah. So then I start, I'm like, all
right, I just need to blur them out.
That's it. Yes.
Yeah, no, I agree. Agree.
So, so anyways, then I, I was like, you know what, I'm going
(13:30):
to go to aesthetic school. But then I started thinking, Oh
my gosh, I'm 49. What am I thinking?
This is, you know, so there's all these different things that
but I'm like, you know what, this has been in my heart for a
while. So when I went to aesthetic
school, I didn't know why. Like I just, I literally went to
the, you know, to see Katrina and, and I signed up that day.
(13:53):
I, I really didn't know what I was thinking.
I was so. That's how you met Katrina at
the high school? Yeah, she was.
An instructor, she was my instructor, she was my
instructor and she's my my biggest fan and she's like, you
can do this and you know so her and I have become very good
friends that's. Awesome.
And so then I started thinking, OK, how?
Because now I'm sitting here as a Pisces, as a fellow Pisces,
(14:15):
you know, it looks like you don't know where you're going or
you, you know, so, and at the same time I was thinking, OK,
how do I bring these three lovesin my, you know, for me, how do
I bring these three things together?
And then I'm like, Oh my gosh, you have to nourish your body
and you have to nourish your body from the inside out.
(14:35):
There's no, it doesn't matter what you put on the outside.
If you're not nourishing your body, it doesn't matter and you
have to be balanced. It balanced whether it's God or,
you know, creator or universe orsource, whatever you want to
believe in, whatever your highest self is that you have to
be in alignment. You have to be in alignment
because otherwise then you're, you know, you're kind of
(14:57):
shooting blanks all over the place.
You don't, you don't know where you're going.
And then the glow is like, OK, you know what, that's your
blueprint right there. You know your skin is your
blueprint and if you don't have that nourished part, then you
can't have the balance and if you don't have the balance and
you can't have the glow, you can't have the glow without the
balance. So it's all like this perfect
(15:19):
trifecta. Yes.
So, and now as time is passing, then that's where I'm, you know,
kind of tweaking things a littlebit.
Yeah. But I I do feel like my
philosophy is like the. And it changed so much too
because I did a deep dive on YouTube.
OK so I did do a deep dive on YouTube and I found a video of
(15:43):
you talking for I think it I might have been the city of
Denver or I don't know but it. Was lake or Littleton?
Yes, the city of Littleton. Guys, the way that like your
glow up your and you could tell the difference and it's true.
And I always tell people like, you know, there's been times
(16:03):
that it's like if if you've seen, you know, pictures of me
too in the past, you could you could tell that I wasn't doing
good spiritually, you know, and I, I recently got baptized and
we started going to church and it's amazing.
Congratulations. And, you know, and just that
feeling of, of actually, you know, being closer to God, I, I
(16:23):
feel that, you know, but it doesn't just show on the inside
like it'll show. It also shows the way that you
carry yourself and that man, when I saw that video and seeing
you now, you've had such a glow up and you could see that change
not just on the outside, but inside too.
(16:44):
So it was so amazing to see thatI was like, there is no way
that's her when I, you know, when I was, I first played it.
So then I turned up the volume and then I heard your voice and
I was like, what the fuck? There's no way.
Like there's no way, you know? So that is amazing because you
do. You could tell that you've done
the work and to grow, not just physically, not just you know,
(17:09):
but emotion internally like you've done the work, you know,
and I know you continue to do the work to better yourself, and
that's amazing. Thank you.
And it's, it's been such a, it'sbeen such a journey.
It really has, it really has in a way that I mean, for those of
you who don't know me, I literally released half of my
(17:31):
body weight and it wasn't, I didn't change anything.
I didn't, I was still doing my yoga.
I was doing, but it was how my alignment and how OK, you know
what I have been placed and I have been blessed on this earth
to do something for somebody else.
And it's like, you know, and, and you fill your cup with
(17:56):
water, you know, you fill it up with love.
Anything that that literally is overflowing, then that's what
you can give away. You cannot give him an empty
cup, which is what that you know, that balance is that
alignment that nourish the balance and then the glow will
come later. I mean, how many times when
somebody's pregnant, I mean, think about, Oh my gosh, you're
(18:17):
glowing, you're radiating. Look at your skin.
Look, because you know, obviously there's.
There's making life. You're making life.
Exactly, exactly. So there's been and and I'm not
going to tell you that, you know, these journeys are not
easy. I mean, and if they were,
everybody would be. Doing it and they're not easy
because you either you start losing people around you or
(18:41):
people start questioning what you do people start, you know,
just either judging or whatever that might be and that's when it
kind of sucks. But that's when you still have
to stand your ground of the things that you believe in, the
things that you're doing to, to be better, you know, to be
healthier, to be in line with God, to be, you know, and all of
(19:03):
that. And I think you, I know you,
you've taken some steps that I know are hard for you that we
won't talk about. But I know that even in that
knowing that you have to do someof these things to be able to
grow, I know those are hurtful. And those are that.
It's the uncertainty because youknow something for such a long
(19:26):
time and switching to something that you have no idea you're you
are work, you're walking in faith, you're walking in that
alignment, knowing that that wasplaced in your heart because
that's the right thing to do. And there's that heck yeah
versus hell no, you know, and when you start differentiating
(19:48):
from those two things, that's your alignment, that's your
path, that's your higher self talking to you.
I mean, that's or God or, you know, like, again, whatever you
resonate with, but it's it's something beyond you.
It's something beyond you. One of the things that came to
mind right now was when we were talking, it's like.
You know, before this whole awareness for me happened, I
(20:11):
felt like I was like there was like a tree in front of me and I
had like everywhere I looked waslike a tree, like something was
blocking me. And until I became the observer,
until I kind of came out a little bit where you're, you're
looking at the forest instead ofthe tree.
(20:31):
Yes. It's like there's so many.
Bigger pictures. Yes, there's so many more trees.
There's so many more trees and you're focused on this one thing
in front of you because you don't even know how to go past
it past. Yeah, wow.
And the one cool thing is your son is getting to see all this.
Yes, your son is getting to experience a different version
(20:55):
of his mom. Yes, a version that she is
loving herself, that she is putting herself first before
anyone else. And sometimes that I think there
is a guilt that that comes alongwith it as a mom, as a wife, as
a daughter, you know? As a sister, as a daughter, yes,
(21:17):
because you're. Trying to do good for yourself
at the same time you're trying to set boundaries, but at the
same time you're trying to show your children like look at what
you're capable of doing, you know?
And so I know that becomes kind of hard, especially when you are
standing your ground, but I feellike you're doing amazing with
(21:41):
that. As far as your business too.
I know you're doing amazing. I know you've had some hard,
hard things to kind of manage there, but you're doing it, you
know, like we're on the phone having, you know, walking you
through like let's set up the the POS system, you know, it's.
Like, I don't know what to do. I don't know.
(22:01):
Yes. So all of that I know.
So you've been in business now since this well for for the
aesthetics. Yes, for the aesthetics.
OK, so this is another thing. This is another thing that I'll
touch on just really quick. I was meant to open or in my
mind, I thought I was going to open my business in February.
(22:25):
Well, you know, God had another plan because like, Nope, you
need to finish some of the stuffthat you haven't finished before
you can start something new. So I wasn't listening.
I mean, I was getting tired. I was like, I knew that I had to
slow down and I was not listening.
I was not listening. I was not listening.
God knocks you on your ass. Oh.
(22:45):
My gosh. Literally, I actually fell and
broke shit. Do you remember that?
Do you remember that I actually fell and broke the the head of
my humor? Oh my God.
And I, I, I mean, I couldn't, I literally couldn't do the basic
needs. I couldn't shower.
I couldn't change. My daughter had to come back
(23:06):
from Greeley every couple days to come help me.
I mean, and then that's what I said, OK, you know what?
OK, I'm listening. I'm listening.
I'm listening. So I had to take three steps
back, go back into my and realign myself again because I
was not doing what I was supposed to be doing.
And then I so going back to yourquestion, I, I opened my
(23:28):
business in at the end of April.So April 27th, the day after,
the day after, so April 27th, that was a, a Sunday on April
28th. That first week I I had 10
people that booked. That's.
Amazing. The first week.
So it's like, so when you're in alignment, yeah, things are
(23:50):
going to show up. Things are going to show God.
Always does things in, in A and also in timing that we don't
understand. Sometimes, yes.
And I think I've even told you. I know that there's times that
I'm just go, go, go, go and I'm tired, but I still keep on
going. Yes.
And my husband will always tell me, babe, you got to slow down
or you got to rest. No, no, no.
I'll be fine. Yeah.
And then I get really sick. I get so sick where I just can't
(24:15):
function and I'm just, I can't even get to my laptop like it.
And it'll be like that for like a week or two.
Yes. And.
So it. Takes longer yes, because then
I'm forced to rest, I'm forced to sleep, I'm forced to do all
these things I'm forced to not look at my phone and I hate that
yes but I. Have and it's those resets that
(24:36):
we that we we need to be aware of those things.
We need to be aware of those things because it's something
that it's, you know, it's like agentle knock and a gentle knock
and hay, you know, and then it'sa poke and then it's a poke and
then it's kind of like, and thenuntil it's like, OK, you're not
listening. I'm going to do something.
(24:56):
So yes. It always happens that way.
So then you opened and we, we started talking at the end of
May. Yeah, because it was right
before I went on vacation. It was literally 2 days before I
went on vacation and I was like,Oh yeah, I'll get you set up.
I was like, I was in Jamaica andI was getting her set up.
(25:19):
Oh my gosh, and I kept saying, you know what boundaries, girl,
boundaries. You're on vacation, you're on
vacation. So I would I could understand.
But then going back to this Crystal, it's like God has not
only did he knock me on my butt,but then it's like then Katrina,
you know, in my life, and then she's like, well, you need to
call Crystal because I already had somebody else set up.
(25:42):
I had something I was about to sign with somebody else.
I was about to sign with somebody.
I was like, you know, I'm just going to give her, you know,
just let me give her a call. And then.
And then you connected me with Matt.
Yes. And then Matt's amazing.
And it's like, I've been like it, it's almost.
And I, I feel like I'm doing everything in reverse.
Yeah. Like, you know, I should have
done this before this, before this, but no, it's, you know,
(26:04):
things happen for a reason. Things happen for a reason.
So now it's like this, this coollittle pod of a team that I
feel, I feel very supported. I feel very supported.
So it's, you know, so it's like,OK, yeah, I know this is going
to be an investment, but it's aninvestment for my future.
And if I would have thought about that before, I, I wouldn't
(26:26):
be where I'm at now. But at the same time, I wouldn't
have this pod of a team that I feel very supported in.
That's awesome. That's what I'm I'm that's kind
of where where I'm at right now.So everything is, you know,
divinely balanced. Yeah.
And that's awesome because one of the things that I always that
I've told you and then I tell all my clients to be honest when
(26:47):
it comes to if you guys are looking for a website, if you're
looking for a way that things work and even, you know, me
trying to at least get you some kind of like that.
Yeah, the Band-Aid with Wix, youknow, and, and try.
And I was like, well, we'll get it figured out, you know, but
things were just even that was an aligning and it's things that
(27:09):
I know how to do. And it just was not connecting.
It was not connecting. And I was like, what the heck?
Like, you know, this is not it, you know?
But we still got it to where it worked at least.
For the time being, yes. Yes, but my thing is always like
don't get Wicks, you know, get get somebody to design your
(27:29):
website, you know, for that reason, because yes, it is an
investment, yes, it costs a little bit more, but.
How much money? How much?
Money are you spending prior to that with all the band aids,
with all the getting different people who also are not
reputable. Yes.
And that sucks, you know, because that's what I see.
(27:50):
I encounter that a lot. That and the reason I always
recommend Matt is because I knowhe's like me where he wants to
help people and help them grow and see the finished product,
you know, and so he's not going to give you a quote on cookie
cutting, you know, Oh, well, I only have these and this is how
it works and I'm going to send this to you and then to every
(28:12):
other kind that's inquiring. No, he tries to fix a problem.
You know, I love that. And that's me.
I don't have like. If you look at my website you
will not find any packages. Something, yeah.
No, because guess what, everybody's different.
You know, even though I deal with the beauty industry, every
person has a different need. Yes.
(28:33):
So I will never have a set pricefor everyone.
You know, I just have a oh, we start here.
But this you know. This is for you, so it's
uniquely catered towards the thethe client.
Yeah, the client and I know and that's what you do and we've
talked about many times and, andeven more so recently on instead
of having multiple facials, you know like create your like 3
(28:57):
main ones. But they're all they all have,
they're customizable when they get there, correct when you see
them, yes. So now that you've been behind,
you know I, I can't say behind the chair, but behind the bed.
Yes, behind the bed. Behind.
The bed. So what are some of the things
that you've noticed now with clients coming in that it's not
just about the facial, it's alsoabout that inner healing?
(29:21):
Absolutely. How do you connect all that?
Well, you know, one of the things that I love to do and I
think I've, I've never experienced this in another
facial before. It doesn't mean that it hasn't
happened, but when somebody comes in, I'd like to sit down
and have a consultation with them.
And it's not necessarily a consultation of what they want
to accomplish, but it's a consultation on what brings them
(29:41):
in because they're either going to a wedding or they're like,
you know what? I just don't feel very well, you
know, whatever it is that I justwant to, I wouldn't feel pretty
or I want to do this or I want to.
So I, I get down and as the investigator on me, you know, I
start asking questions. So OK.
And then I just kind of go down this little rabbit hole and then
at the end of the day, it it's, it's the emotions behind.
(30:05):
Yes. What brings them in and, and you
always know when somebody's gonethrough something big, when they
when, when there's a big change,meaning that.
And as stylist or estheticians or anybody that's out there,
please hear me that whenever that does happen, please don't
(30:26):
do it. You know what I mean?
Because it's like I. Change my hair color and I cut
it off. Yeah, right, right.
So you have these big things andthen you're like, because you
want you want the end of the theold life and the beginning of
something new. But it's like, OK, you're not
you're thing. You're kind of going, you're
going around instead of three. So that's where for me, I feel
(30:52):
like I give that uniqueness because it's like, OK, you know
what, let's let's focus on this.Or they'll come in for an energy
healing and they really don't need an energy healing.
They just need an EME talk or you know, so I like.
The difference between those two?
OK, so an energy healing is somebody wants to clear whatever
(31:13):
it is that they're going through.
I'll just give you an example. Let's say somebody just an empty
nester. So somebody goes in and they
just drop their kid off at college and now they're really,
really like depressed. So they come in and they're
like, OK, I, I need to, I need to feel young.
I need to do this, I need to do that.
So it's not necessarily that they're going through a grief
(31:33):
and grief, yes. So instead of that, then you
have those conversations. So it's the EME energy, mind,
emotion integration. So you're bringing in again,
going back to the trifecta, the nurse, the balance, the glow.
So you're, you're bringing in the outer, the inner and the
around all together. So you're, you're bringing them
(31:55):
back into balance. Because when you're not in
balance, then you're always looking for the next bus thing.
And you're not sitting with yourself.
You're not sitting with your emotion.
Hey, I'm I'm so. Guilty with that.
I'm so feel guilty, yeah. I went and chopped off my hair
right before I was getting baptized because I and not
(32:16):
because of anything of of what God had said or anything, but it
was just a me thing. Sure, I'm trying to get rid of
old. Me, yeah, and bringing and.
Bringing something new. But then like, you know, as soon
as I got baptized, I instantly regretting, regretted cutting,
not cutting off the hair so muchbecause I needed it.
Yeah, but the taking away my funcolour because I knew that's not
(32:39):
what God wanted. That was more of me in my heart.
That you felt like that's what that's.
What you needed, wanted. And that's not It's because the
moment I got thrown in that water, I was like.
It. Wasn't it?
Yeah. Because I knew that wasn't it.
It was the baptism felt so like just it was what I needed, but
(33:00):
the hair coloring was not it, you know?
So now I've implemented it to make it still mine, but still
like it was. Yeah.
So I get that 100% yes. So go, I mean, yeah.
So that's, that's my goal. That's my goal.
I don't want to change you because you are who you are.
I'm not your guru because I'm not.
(33:22):
I'm not your healer, because I'mnot.
Cuz you heal yourself. You heal yourself.
I'm here to bring everything together.
So you become your own best advocate, OK.
And you're like, you know, your higher self, your relationship
with God, your relationship withBuddha, your relationship with
Jesus, your, your whatever it isthat your relationship is, your
(33:45):
alignment with is that's, that'syou, that that is you.
So these external factors that we feel are going to make us
better, it's not they're not, they're not it's.
Until you heal this. Exactly.
Yeah, exactly. So that's where I'm at.
So going back to what do I do isI have a thorough consultation
(34:08):
with, with the client 1st and then or they might want a micro
needling, you know, going back to aesthetics, they might,
might, they might want, well, they don't really need micro
needling. They might need a peel or they
might need this. So I, I kind of want to go to
see what they're or what, what their goal is, what their end
goal is, and then go on it from there.
(34:29):
Just because somebody comes in and says, I want to do this
doesn't mean that it doesn't mean that that's what they need.
Now I don't know what they need,but I'm there to to to help give
you the curiosity to ask the questions for yourself.
So, and I know that you are moreholistic as far as ingredients
and as far as like even the brands that you bring in and
(34:52):
we've talked about this and eventhe brands that you're getting
rid, yes. And it's not so much because a
brand is bad, but it's not what you need at the moment for what
you're trying to bring to your clientele, correct.
So how do you, how have you managed that in a way that, and,
and we've talked about this outside of here, but how are you
(35:15):
doing it to, to be able to stillsell that product that you're
trying to get rid of because it doesn't align with you anymore
and what you're trying to offer,but still to keep that trust
within your clients? How have you been doing?
That, that's a great question because at first I was
struggling with that because here I am, I have clients that I
mean, I was recommending these products too.
(35:38):
So what I have from my own Peaceof Mind, it's like, OK, I know
what I know now and tomorrow might be something different.
So tomorrow the brands that I'm using now might not resonate
with me anymore. So then, and it's the beauty
industry, like any other industry, it's a matter of
knowledge. It's how much knowledge, you
(35:59):
know, And it changes on a day-to-day basis.
Yes. So natural doesn't necessarily
mean good. Yes.
Organic doesn't necessarily meanorganic.
Even you know the even the word,you know, botanical doesn't
necessarily mean botanical. So what does it mean?
So for me, holistic is taking care of the whole body.
(36:20):
It's going back to that trifecta, nourish, balance,
glow. You have to take care of
yourself from the inside in order for you to be aligned, in
order for you to be, you know, to glow.
And again, I can give you 1000 a$1000 bottle of moisturizer.
And if you're eating shit, if you're it's not going to work.
Now, if you're eating plants based food all the time and
(36:43):
you're not giving your body thatalignment that it needs or that
balance, it doesn't matter if you wear the, you know, the
Walgreens brand on your face, itdoesn't matter.
It's it's a matter of having your body recognize what it
knows to be effective for it to do what it's supposed to do.
(37:06):
OK, see, and that's, and that's one thing I think that as
consumers we don't pay attentionto.
As beauty industry professionals, I think we try to
pay more attention to all of that because it's, you know,
what they see is what they're going to trust us with.
Exactly. I know that when I normally,
(37:28):
when I think holistic, I'm like,OK, so does that mean that?
It doesn't work because it's going to take longer.
Or like you know, because you domicro needling.
So here in the state of Texas, and this is always something
that I always bring to to everybody and the state of
Texas, we're not allowed to do micro needling, micro needling.
(37:50):
Or you can as long as you have amedical director.
But even then it has to be, I believe it's .25.
You cannot go deeper than .25 orI think .32, something I can't
remember, but you cannot go deeper than that.
Wow. Now in Colorado, you can smoke
weed, Yeah. So we're very different.
(38:12):
Yes, no, but and going back and I I love that you bring that up.
I love that you bring that up because going back to when I
broke my arm, I, you know, I wasgiven and doctors are very.
Quick. They're very quick to write you
a prescription for opioids. I'm not a legal heroin.
Holy moly, like I don't, my bodyis so sensitive that you know,
(38:35):
when I broke my arm, I was like,Oh my gosh, I don't, I don't
know if I'm going to faint. I don't know if I'm going to
throw up. I'm doing both.
I it was really bad. So the first thing they did is
they gave me I, I don't oxycodone, whatever it was, I
don't know. They they injected it and it
took the pain out like this much.
Oh, morphine. But whatever it was, whatever it
(38:55):
was, my stomach was turning and I was like, Oh my gosh, this
doesn't. So now I was in so much pain,
but I was like, so the only reason why I'm bringing this up
is I have a dear friend of mine,her name is Megan Kanter and
she's got she's the owner of Sacred Ace Skin care.
She's got this beautiful line ofCBD oils that my friend, that my
(39:19):
friend you, you put it on and I'm telling you, it was like
magic. Yeah, there's it was like magic.
Yeah, there's a reason why cancer patients are allowed to
smoke weed. Yes, you know, and again, a lot
of other states it's legal. You know there is a reason why
when my my husband's birth mom was dying of cancer we we
(39:44):
crossed over this way. And we got her.
And we got her some drops, Yeah.And you know, I know we
shouldn't have, but we took it to Mexico because that's what
she needed to be at the. Time.
Yeah, and that's what made her comfortable, so.
Without the side effects and without the.
Medication was, you know, the medication was just not helping,
(40:06):
but that so why do we give the opioids?
Why? Because it's pharmaceutical
companies. I'm just telling you that going
back to the bio, like genetic, it's almost like I love that new
word. And I mean, I know that they've
been throwing it around quite a bit, but this, the pharmacist
from Boulder or from Broomfield in Colorado, he kind of, I don't
(40:30):
know, coined that that term, butit's bio genetic where the,
where your body knows, assimilates.
They assimilate what, what the body's supposed to do.
So I'm not saying that I'm a hippie and I'm not saying that
I'm like granola or anything like that because and, and my
family probably tells me that I am, but it's like, I just feel
(40:51):
like the more your body knows what to do with what you're
putting inside, the the better. I mean, and it goes back to like
even the way that you eat and, and all that it does, it does
make a huge difference. It does because even I've told
you many times I have ADHD. I got off my medication for like
(41:11):
a month and I'm still like trying to.
Adjust. Yeah, but I've noticed that I
cannot freaking function withoutmy medication, so I had to start
taking just when I, you know, when I need it because I'm so
forgetful. But if I take anything that has
any dyes in it, especially red 40, Oh my gosh, it's horrible.
(41:33):
It changes every, It changes theway that I feel.
It changes everything. But we don't pay attention to
those things because we've been fed all this shit for so many
years that by the time that you're like, finally, you know,
starting to realize, oh man, maybe I shouldn't eat this.
Maybe I shouldn't, you know. The blue, the blueprint of your
(41:53):
skin, your blueprint of your skin, it's all of these little
things that you did from before that, you know, resonate at the
very end. So yeah, Yeah, it's crazy.
And we're the ones that have themost like we're the, I guess the
richest country and at the same time the poorest, the poorest
(42:14):
health wise. I mean, think about it.
We are the ones that are like, we're the sickest.
We're the sickest country in. The world, man.
In Europe I could eat bread and I'm fine.
Here I eat bread and I get all swollen.
Yes. You know.
Yes. Because it's not bread.
No, it's shit. Yeah, literally.
I I just bought what is it? A wheat grinder.
Yes. I still need to buy the wheat
(42:36):
berries so I could because I'm like, I still want to eat bread,
you know? I don't want to feel like shit.
Everything. Exactly.
I have chickens and all this stuff you know, that I hardly
ever have time for but. But they're there.
Yeah, and I have fresh eggs. Because I love that I have I we
have chickens too. That's.
Awesome. Yeah.
So it's like, you know, I think all that goes back to like
(42:57):
aligning yourself in a way that you're still making your body
healthy because it's it helps with your skin, it helps with
the way that you feel. And so if you're doing all that
at home and then you go get a facial, you know?
Amplify. It's exactly amplify.
And I know you have you have, ifwe go back to like your services
(43:19):
that you offer and if you're trying to give advice to other
aestheticians. And like I said, I know you're a
newbie, yes, that's okay. But I think as a newbie, you've
surrounded yourself with people who are very knowledgeable in
the industry. So you have your low, you could
call it low ticket item, you have your medium ticket item and
then you have your high. And if you go with the low,
(43:42):
that's your aesthetics. You know, your mid ticket is
your energy healing and then your high ticket item is your
retreat. And that's your trifecta.
Again, always offering somethingdifferent.
So for you as you as, as you kind of get into the business
(44:02):
and you're, you've been doing the facials, have you noticed
that a lot of those clients transfer over to either energy
healing or that have thought about going to their retreats or
how is that working out for you?Thanks for that question.
Actually it's, it's really interesting.
So people who come in for my aesthetics, they always want
(44:22):
energy healing. That's awesome.
People who who come in for energy healing end up getting
the facials. So those have have, you know,
kind of crossed over quite well.Since I started my aesthetics
work and the energy healing, I've only had one retreat.
So right now there's some peoplefrom my energy healing that have
(44:45):
transferred over to my retreats,not necessarily the energy or
the the aesthetics. And it's because I've only been
working or I've only been activefor for a couple months.
Yes, I do feel like if I can share my goal on what that
trifecta is and what that philosophy that has helped me, I
(45:08):
feel like there's gonna be more people that are gonna go from
either the the the energy healing to the retreats or the
aesthetics to the retreats or orboth, You know, just.
Yes. And see, and that's one of the
things I think when we started talking more deeply when it came
to, you know, and kind of tryingto dig more when it came to your
(45:30):
page build out and to to me creating a landing page inside
of Wix for coming on Cantado, yes, my thing was like, well,
because it makes sense for it tobe like, if it makes sense for
me on the bookkeeping side for it to be together because it's
still at the end of the day, it's one business that you're
offering multiple services. Yes, I don't see it why you need
(45:53):
a separate page for, you know, forthcoming encantado.
And that was my main thing. I was like there is, you know, I
I had a vision. I don't know how to like, you
know, put it out there, how to say it.
And I remember telling you it's just it would it doesn't make
sense. Yes, I but it, I knew what I
wanted or what I thought that I,you know, for you.
(46:13):
But then like when Matt came in and I was like, and then when he
told me what you guys were goingto do, I was like, holy shit.
That's it. That's.
It yeah, because now people are going to know what you are just
in what your homepage. Yes, alone.
Yes. And again going backwards
because I had, you know, yes, the Camino Cantato was the
(46:33):
umbrella and then I had the Enchanted Glow under that, the
DBA and then I had the tag line of the Nourished Balance glow.
And of course, I guess I want toretrace what you just said.
That's what I love about you because it's like, you know, you
could have just said, sure, let's do this and I'm going to
charge you this and you're like,no, let's, we're going to put it
(46:54):
together and then I can save youmoney here.
And I wouldn't have known. I wouldn't have known the
integrity, Like just because I work with integrity doesn't mean
that everybody else does. So I appreciated that from you.
And then I appreciated the fact that Matt was like, wait a
minute, why don't we do the nourish?
But and I was like, like, I, I hadn't even thought about that.
(47:18):
And I'm like, that makes so muchsense.
You know what? Yeah.
And again, everything backwards because that's I do everything
backwards so. It just makes so much more sense
to do that, you know, And so when when I, you know, I heard
it from him and then I heard it from you, I was like, Oh my
gosh, it makes sense like that. You know, I don't know how to
sometimes I don't know how to put things into words.
(47:40):
I could picture them, but it's, I'm like, it's not coming out.
And this way, like, you know, asyou both have talked to me about
it, I'm, it makes me so excited to know that from the beginning
people will know, OK, this is exactly what what she's about.
This is exactly what it is, you know, and one of the things that
I, I do want to say, and I feel like sometimes when you start
(48:03):
off a business, the bookkeeping is the last thing that people
worry about. And the first thing you should.
Yeah, because people come to me once it's I have to do a cleanup
for like so the whole year, you know, or maybe even two years or
maybe even in March. So I could do last year and then
this year, you know, however it is, and not that I dislike that.
(48:27):
I, I mean, I love doing that. But at the same time, it's like
when you start off a business, your main thing should always be
bookkeeping, you know, because you need to know exactly how
much money you're spending. And that's one thing that I love
about you and Katrina, you know,both of you came to me right at
the beginning of what you're starting.
And it also makes me excited because I get to kind of work
(48:50):
along with you guys as you guys are growing your businesses and
you guys are going on new ventures.
And just it's really cool to seethat and to see that growth.
So I'm very proud of you guys. And then so as far as can you
tell me what is one of the biggest takeaways that you had
at Glow and Gather? Oh, my gosh, I was just telling
(49:12):
you earlier. Oh, I think everything came
down. I mean, I know you're asking me
about the actual event, but for me, because I'm so I'm, I'm a
water through and through. Like, you know, so I was so
overwhelmed with emotions that Idid not know how to process
(49:38):
them. And I was, I was, even though I
felt like I've known you for eons.
I mean, I met you for the first time.
I was here and I didn't know anyone.
I mean, I knew, I knew, I knew your face.
I knew, I knew, but I didn't know you and you were doing your
things. And then I had, you know, I, I
was trying to meet people and then I didn't feel comfortable.
(50:00):
And then I'm like, but why don'tyou know?
So there was all these things. So my biggest take away is that
it doesn't matter how often you do these things, it's still
going to be like for me, I'm just accepting the fact that I'm
an emotional person. I saw Bri yesterday and she was
she was one that had been comingup on my feed and on.
(50:22):
She was just one that just, you know, she was kind of like,
well, she was a person that I really wanted to meet because
she's she was, she was, she's such an inspiration.
I mean, she's such an inspiration.
And it's almost like, you know, if she can do it, yes, I can do
it, yes. So even when I was talking to
her, all these emotions, my as aside note, my dad died here
(50:47):
seven years ago. So and in this area.
Oh man. So, you know, at the hospital
and so I had all those emotions that came through and then I
had, you know. Her her grandpa just passed.
Yeah, see, You know what? I don't know why I felt some
grief in her too. Yeah, she had just came back.
(51:08):
She had posted on her story. She.
Had see, I didn't know that I did not know that, but anyway,
so going back to reading energies, it's almost like,
well, now I know I don't know, Idon't know.
But anyways, I and it wasn't like she said anything or she I
mean no meaning that it wasn't like she said anything to to.
Trigger. To trigger me to be as emotional
(51:30):
as I was. I just was.
Yeah, I just was. And then I was able to talk to
Ella and she's amazing. And she's from Denver and she's
right up my alley. She's right up the street from
where I. Live, that's amazing.
So I mean, it was just like I and I went home or I went to my
sister's house and I was like, why did?
Why was I so emotional? And I think it was just because
(51:52):
I'm right there. Yes.
Like I'm right there before. I like taking my next step.
Yes. Because this is how I felt when
I went to India. Yeah, this is how I felt when I
went to India. It's almost like, OK, you're
right there. It's right there.
You're about to close the chapter.
Yes. So it was that it was a closing
(52:14):
of the chapter. It was my dad.
It was it was meeting new beautiful people and you know,
trying to, you know, network anddoing so.
It was a. Lot, you know, So I'm horrible
at networking events. I get really nervous.
Really. Yes, and if you saw me stay
quiet or kind of get, you know, or kind of move away and because
(52:34):
that's what I I was trying to like.
Just be with it yourself. Because I didn't, the only
people I knew there was, you know, you, Jackie Desiree, the,
the 2 girls who were the ones who, who created the event.
And then Pam, you know who I hadhad on the podcast, me and
(52:55):
Jackie had her on the podcast a few weeks before that.
So and I had met her daughter and you know, her, her niece,
but it was still like it, it becomes to where it's so much.
And I'm just like, Oh my gosh, you know.
Oh yeah. And so even when people were
coming up to the table and saying like, oh, hi.
Like it's so nice to like meet you in person.
(53:18):
You know, I've listened to the podcast.
I was like, hi, yeah. Because I don't know how to
fucking act. I just get so like I feel like
I'm a throw up. Yes, every single time nervous,
yes, that nervous every single time that I meet new people or
I'm around new people because I'm just like, Oh my gosh, what
if for me, it's what if they don't like me?
What if it's what if I'm too much?
(53:39):
What if I, you know, So then it's like I start overthinking
all these things because I know I have so many quirks and I know
it like, I'm very blunt and I know that sometimes I don't say
nice things or sometimes just things come out and I'm just
like, maybe shut up. Oh girl, we've got to have an
EME session. We've got to have an EME
session. And so it's, it's so many
(54:00):
freaking things, you know, that I'm just like, and I know I'm in
my head. That's it.
But yeah, I, I, I think like it was, it was an amazing event.
Oh my gosh, it was amazing. They couldn't have gone better.
It was very well organized. It was very well thought out.
And yeah, I mean, I'm, I'm readyto come back next.
Year. Oh man.
(54:20):
And I'm sure I don't know what your takeaways were from, from
Bree, but I know I I had, I evenwrote notes.
I have like a whole. Right.
Yeah, I saw you writing. She was just there taking notes.
For me, I was taking notes because I feel like it doesn't
just go with, you know, with estheticians like this, these
(54:45):
are things that you could apply.As a business you can even even
in your own personal life. It doesn't necessarily have to
be business. It has to, you know, in your.
Own personal life and one of thethings that, you know, if we're
talking about money making and, and, and getting yourself out
there in a way for your businessto start making money or for you
to start, you know, just doing all the things.
(55:05):
And actually, it wasn't her thatsaid it.
I think it was quiche that that said this where you have to to
make 6 figures a year, you got to make 274 or $74.
A year, right? Something like that, yes.
A day, so that's working seven days a week.
So now if you make calculations and make little tweaks on how
(55:26):
many days a week do you want to work yes, then you have you
know, you kind of combine the money because now at 274 a day
and this is my this is my bookkeeping.
I'm sorry. No, that's that's.
Great, 274 a day times 7 days. That's only 1900.
It's a $1918 a week. Like how many of you guys are
(55:52):
already making that? So now let's say you only want
to work. Five days a week.
Five days a week, that's $383 a day.
Yeah, it's easy, guys. It's easy.
You know, well, and, and it's and it comes down to not
necessarily doing services because you could, but it's
like, how do you sell products? How do you sell these?
You know, these? Like for me, it's the EM ES or
(56:15):
the this and and you take it to where it's not necessarily yes,
the money is the bottom line, but I also feel like when you're
connected with what you're supposed to do, not even I don't
even like the word supposed whatyou're meant to do, you're what
you're called to do, then that. That's easy.
(56:36):
That's easy. Yeah, that's easy.
You know, and especially like one of the things that I know
you and I have talked about as well is having memberships, you
know, and and 1:00, that's one of those things that Bree talked
about the memberships. You know, that the only reason
she doesn't do it is because Gloss Genius hasn't done their
shit together. Yeah, that's not exactly what
she said. Guys, that's me saying it.
(56:58):
Let me. Let me.
Clear that out, yeah. But you know, they haven't
gotten their shit together and implementing this, but Square
has. Yeah, I know.
You know, Square has and I know we've talked about implementing
those things and, and that was like that's a great idea, you
know, and and we've talked aboutthe different things you want to
do. So can you tell us a little bit
(57:18):
what your goals are for the restof this year and where you're at
right now? And then especially, I think as
far as aesthetics business growing, how do you see that
going? I thank you, thank you for that.
I do feel that going down to because I do offer quite a bit
of facials and the product line that I use green envy it.
(57:40):
They they're so good at education that it's you know
that you have this for this person, you know, for this type
of skin and so forth. So instead of having protocols,
thank you, instead of having 15 different protocols, then go
down to three and then from those three, it's uniquely made
to the person that's coming in from there.
(58:02):
It's like the doing, doing the memberships, the membership.
It's like, you know, what if youwant to come in once a month, if
you want to come in twice a month, but whatever it is, it's
like depending on the membershipthat you that you subscribe to.
I also feel like we're my daughter and I were talking
about glow drops or glow points,you know, just to kind of have
(58:24):
those to accumulate and then to kind of be able to switch them
out for products or services or things like that.
Well, that would be so I think that there's still quite a bit
of things that to work through. I have a great team that I feel
like, you know, is to kind of help me be accountable for for
(58:45):
for those things. And as far as what I have
available, you know, the the retreat that's coming up in
September, September 20th through the 27th is coming back
to source in Quatrocenegas and, you know, just kind of
implementing and still going back and forth between the the
three things. OK.
One of the things that Brie did say is to be very good at like
(59:09):
to master your technique. Yes.
So the try, you know, I want to try.
I really, really, really want tomaster that trifecta.
So now the next question and, and probably the last question,
where do you see your now you have two Instagrams.
I do. So what's the goal with that?
(59:29):
Are you keeping the both? Are you?
I think that's a Matt question. Matt.
Matt yeah, no, I. I've been that actually just
right now that popped, there's no need for the.
Two, No, no, I, I think the goalis, and I feel this to be, you
know, online or you know, in, inpurpose or what in on purpose,
(59:51):
on purpose. I feel that it would be switched
over to the nourish balance glowand then go with the two
different things. That's what I see.
Yeah, that's awesome. Well, thank you so much for
being. Coming.
And coming from Colorado, guys like that is amazing.
I'm so happy to have you here. I'm so glad that you were able
(01:00:12):
to make it to the podcast and just can you tell us one more
time where they can find you? Sure.
So at this point, at this moment, at this point in time,
it's Enchanted Glow Spa and Camino Period Encantado.
So those are my 2 Instagram handles.
Yeah, so go follow her and you know, we'll probably get her to
(01:00:36):
start doing some videos and stuff.
You already do them on Instagram.
Let's get her on YouTube, guys. Yes, yeah.
But thank you so much. Thank you for having me.
