S3 E10: Showing Up As Your Best Authentic Self with Brianna Christie
BAWP S3 E10.jpg

Brianna Christie is the owner and founder of MODify Salon in Minneapolis, and has been expertly cutting my hair for 15 years! I look forward to every haircut not just because of her skills, but because we always have great, deep conversations about creativity, wellness, being a business owner, and life. 

Listen in to hear us talk about self improvement coming from a place of self love, how seeking support from a coach totally changed how Brianna meets her needs as a mom and business owner, being intentional about finding fun and joy, and how she helps her clients feel most like their authentic selves.
