I was listening to a podcast on my way to California and heard if you tell people everything you’re bad at and put it into the universe, no one can use it against you…
1. Math. I’m a nurse practitioner who was good at science and somehow ended up owning a business where I was forced to learn business and math. After my divorce I had to relearn all the things and it’s been very eye opening.
On top of that, I’m a Pisces. So if it looks like I’m doing math in my head, I’m actually just staring at you waiting for you to tell me the answer.
2. I move WAY faster than my systems can keep up with.
When I decide I want to do something, I don’t want it done tomorrow—I feel like it should’ve been done last week.
I’m great at creating momentum. I’m not always great at slowing down long enough to build the systems that make that momentum sustainable.
3. My boundaries are HORRIBLE. No, like really bad.
Personally. Professionally. All of them. 😂 Deep therapy is happening (thanks Liv) and needed about why I have such a hard time disappointing people, but I’ve learned that poor boundaries don’t just hurt me—they can hurt my business, my relationships, and sometimes even the people I’m trying so hard to protect. Still working on this one. Like… actively. Like every hour. 🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠
4. I give second chances when I should just move on.
And sometimes third chances. I see potential in people and I want people to succeed, which sounds lovely until you realize that keeping someone or something around too long can negatively affect everyone else. I’m learning that being a good leader doesn’t always mean giving another chance. It’s cutting out the cancer so our business can heal.
5. I trust my woman’s intuition before I look at the spreadsheet.
My gut has gotten me pretty damn far, so naturally I think she deserves a seat at every meeting. 😂 But “I have a really good feeling about this” apparently isn’t a financial model. I’m learning to let my intuition tell me where to look—and then let the numbers tell me whether it actually makes sense. Thanks Jo for helping.
I am only giving you 5 because it’s exhausting to be vulnerable and also my caption space is out 🥱
I reallllllllly wanted to share the new @anfisaskin goodies with you guys today but the mail man had other plans 🫠🆘💌
A little reminder that success doesn’t always look like Instagram. 🖤 My story is different than yours, but it doesn’t mean it’s better!
I’ve been in aesthetics for a long time, and somewhere along the way I think our industry started making “successful” look like a very specific thing.
$3,000 patient tickets.
10-syringe appointments.
Schedules booked months in advance.
Personal assistants.
Content teams.
Perfect offices.
Perfect days.
Constant growth.
Most of my patients aren’t coming in to spend thousands of dollars at every appointment. Sometimes I inject one syringe. Sometimes half a syringe. And sometimes the best thing I can do for a patient is tell them, “You don’t need anything today.”
I don’t have someone following me around with a camera. 😂 There are days I’m seeing patients, answering messages, helping my team, thinking about payroll, solving problems, ordering supplies—and getting my own coffee (unless Sammy is here).
And after years of building a business, I’ve realized I don’t actually want success if it requires me to become something I’m not. I WANT to take really good care of people. I WANT my patients to trust that when I recommend something, I actually believe they need it. I WANT beautiful, conservative results. So if you’re building something and wondering why your business doesn’t look like everyone else’s highlight reel—maybe it isn’t supposed to.
There is room for the huge practices and the tiny ones. The luxury practices and the small-town ones. The 10-syringe transformations and the half-syringe appointments. Build something that fits YOUR values! That’s the kind of success I’m into! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ #medicalspa #growthanddevelopment #nursepractitioner #aesthetic #femalebusinessowner

If you’ve ever had a facial with Esther, you would probably agree that she was born to be an esthetician.💜
Seriously, the only thing better than her magic hands might be her wit and her heart.
Esther joined our Helena team right out of esthetics school with an abundance of natural talent and an amazing touch. Now, she’s ready to spread her wings and move to Missoula!
She’ll be taking patients at our Missoula clinic, so she’s still part of the Crafted fam—thank the Lord!
All this to say: If you’re looking to treat yourself to an amazing facial in Missoula, book with Esther!!!!
Whether you’re coming to train with me or coming to sit in my chair, it all starts with a full face consultation!
For patients, it’s where we create a thoughtful, personalized plan based on your anatomy, goals, and timeline.
For injectors attending Crafted Academy, it’s where you learn how to assess the face as a whole, and turn that assessment into a treatment plan that feels natural, balanced, and entirely individual.

⚠️ I asked ChatGPT to warn people about me…
I own a company, manage 50-ish employees, work in six locations, see patients, train injectors, and somehow still believe I can squeeze “one quick thing” into an already impossible day.
I don’t really have an “off” switch. I have work mode and thinking about work while pretending I’m not working mode.
I will answer a work call at wildly inappropriate times and then be confused about why everyone says I work too much.
If there’s a problem, I don’t want to talk about the problem for three days. I want to fix it in the next 11 minutes.
I can make a six-figure business decision before lunch but will stare at a restaurant menu for 20 minutes because suddenly I’m incapable of making choices.
My brain usually has 47 tabs open: staffing, payroll, patients, kids, expansion, marketing, training, some new business idea I absolutely do not need, and whatever you said three days ago that didn’t quite sit right with me.
“I’m just going to check my email really quick” is a lie.
I have very high expectations, especially for myself, and unfortunately sometimes forget that not everyone wakes up ready to conquer a small country before 9 a.m.
I don’t need someone to take care of me.
I need someone who understands that being capable of doing everything myself doesn’t mean I want to.
Also, if I say I’m going to slow down…
No I’m not. 😂
