In this week’s episode, I’m inviting the expertise of Sonia Magnier — a transformative holistic wellbeing coach for salon professionals. This conversation is crucial for anyone in the hair industry seeking to reprioritise their own wellbeing without sacrificing their passion for their work.
Sonia Magnier, through her journey from salon ownership to coaching, divulges the critical need for energy management and cultivating a culture that actively supports wellbeing. She articulately lays out the consequences of overcommitment, a familiar adversary in our trade. “One of my biggest challenges throughout the years has been overcommitting,” she shares, highlighting a struggle many of us face in silence.
Training her focus on proactive self-care, Sonia discusses the profound impact of starting the day right. She advocates for building daily habits that propel us forward, recommending inspiring reads like ‘The Miracle Morning’ and ‘Atomic Habits’. These resources pave the path for lasting, impactful change.
Sonia implores the significance of setting boundaries—both personally and professionally. “You could, why would you though? What’s the why?” she questions, prompting you to dig into the deeper motivations behind your choices. Her philosophy extends to the digital realm, offering sage advice on managing social media’s encroachment on our downtime.
Expect to leave this episode with actionable insights and a renewed perspective on the intersection of hairdressing and wellbeing.
For salon owners and hairdressers who understand the necessity of wellbeing, Sonia’s expertise isn’t just beneficial—it’s imperative. I firmly believe in Sonia’s message: “I want to shout it from the rooftops, the importance of this.” Let’s amplify it together.
