After Hours: April 8

About this episode

In this episode, Alex discusses the challenges of burnout in grooming and shares personal stories and advice on managing stress and self-worth.

After Hours Episode #98: In this episode of After Hours, let’s get real—burnout happens to all of us groomers, even when we love what we do. I’m flying solo and talking about the stress that comes with full books, feeling overwhelmed, and realizing it might be time to raise your prices and know your worth. I’m sharing personal stories, a few laughs, honest advice about setting boundaries, practicing gratitude, and trying to keep your sanity through it all. There are a couple rants, maybe even a tear or two, but mostly this is a reminder that you’re not alone in feeling this way.
