This week, I had the incredible opportunity to chat with Jayne Matthews—hairstylist, educator, and co-owner of Edo Salon and Gallery. In this compelling episode, Jayne opens up about her 20-year sobriety journey and how growing up poor fueled her relentless work ethic. She shares the behind-the-scenes hustle of growing her business, her continuous quest for dopamine, and the broader challenges she faces today.
As we explore these topics, Jayne holds nothing back and that's precisely why I love this conversation so much.
Enjoy !

About Jayne:
"I didn’t choose hair cutting, it chose me. I was raised by a woodworker and a musician, so I was a poor kid trying to make a fashion statement. I started by cutting my own hair to do just that and happened to be very good at it. I was a hairstylist for 5 years before co-opening Edo Salon and Gallery in 1998.
I draw heavily from the styles of 60’s Paris & 70’s Rock and Roll and specialize in framing faces while embracing natural texture with nothing more than my straight razor. I am currently an international educator teaching advanced cutting techniques to hairstylists and I have been featured in the New York Times, Forbes, and CNN. What originally started as a passion for education has now evolved into new territory."

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
