Spend some time with your host, Shannon the SugarMama where she dives into the mental side of being a sugaring professional.  In this episode, she guides you through understanding that once you shut that treatment room door, sugaring is more than just your technique it encompasses all of the senses for your clients.  Clients tend to open up and dump their emotions into the room...and YOU need to know how to not absorb those emotions.

Shannon helps you to understand how to create not only a safe and calm space for your clients...but for YOUR mental state as well.  The senses matter to US!!!

Take this time to stop and start your day of service with some calming breaths...to take your vibration from all around the room to focus on you.

When you can center your thoughts and focus on what is in front of you, you can fully be present for your clients and your business.

In between clients, it will benefit you SO MUCH MORE to take a moment to ground EVERY TIME.  A...
