☝🏽One of the biggest misconceptions in this industry?

Revenue and profit are not the same thing. 
A $100,000/month medspa can struggle.
A $60,000/month medspa can thrive. 🌱

The difference is usually hidden in the numbers nobody wants to look at:

• Utilization
• Retention
• Payroll
• Pricing
• Revenue per hour
• No shows and cancellations

These aren’t the glamorous topics.

They’re the things that determine whether a business can hire great people, invest in training, avoid burnout, stay consistent, and continue serving patients well for years to come.

Because at the end of the day, the goal isn’t just growth. It’s building something healthy enough to take exceptional care of people. 🫶🏽 That’s why I love this side of the industry. The strategy behind the scenes impacts every experience happening in front of the scenes.

🖤 there’s a version of me in these photos that thought strength meant being prepared for everything.

bags packed early. birth plan ready. house organized. business handled. hospital routes mapped out. every tiny detail accounted for leading up to her birth.

and then Yahuah let motherhood begin in the most humbling way possible…

at 1:43 in the morning. half asleep. water broke and it was like I slid down a water slide…into the deep end. 🌊 adrenaline spiked. suddenly the coolant light flashing on the car dashboard. 36 weeks and 6 days pregnant and suddenly none of the plans felt very important anymore.

and when it was finally time…there was no doctor in the room. just a room full of people Yahuah had placed there that day, and Him holding it all together in ways I didn’t fully understand until later 🩶

what’s crazy is…I spent so much of pregnancy trying to protect her. from stress. from fear. from medications. from anything that could touch her little body before she got here. and in the middle of all the chaos, she arrived peacefully. healthy. perfect. safe. 5 pounds 11 ounces of completely changing my life.

unmedicated. no tearing. no complications. just Yahuah carrying both of us through it faithfully & safely 🙏🏽

one thing motherhood has taught me… 😮‍💨 the more I look back on that day, the more I realize how much of life we think we’re controlling. because the moments that felt the least “under control” were actually the moments Yahuah was covering us the most. even down to the unexpected people who ended up grounding me emotionally when I needed it most. even down to my body doing exactly what it needed to do when I started doubting myself.

looking back now almost 10 months postpartum…I don’t even recognize the woman who thought becoming a mother would only add softness to her. it made me softer, yes. but it also made me stronger. more grounded. more protective of my peace. more intentional with my time. more aware of what actually matters.

and I think KK gave birth to a new version of me too 🥹 sometimes I stare at these photos and want to hug her so tight. because she had absolutely no idea how much love was about to enter her life.

💉💭 I used to think great injectors were just people with really good hands.

Now I honestly think the best ones are usually the calmest thinkers in the room.

The actual injection is only part of it. Assessment matters. Patient experience matters. Being able to read a face without trying to force the same “formula” onto everyone matters. 💯

That’s the stuff I care about teaching.

Not just where to place filler…but why.
Not just technique…but thought process.
Not just “before & afters”…but how to create results that still feel like the patient when they leave.

And honestly…one of my favorite parts of mentorship is watching people stop second-guessing themselves every 5 seconds. You can literally see the confidence shift once things start clicking differently. 🙌🏽

Also…the before & afters in this carousel were her work during mentorship with my guidance throughout the process…which made me truly so proud. By the end, she wasn’t just injecting differently…she was assessing differently too.

We kept this training really small intentionally. Better conversations, more questions, more hands-on time, less pressure to “perform.”

Really proud of this one 🤍

some days just feel like little gifts from Yahuah 💙

went to brunch at the new spot on the 7th floor of the Moxy in Wynwood…and the whole afternoon felt dipped in old school R&B and good energy 🤌🏾

music that scratched a very specific nostalgic part of my brain 🎶 all the old school, feel-good, sing-it-with-your-eyes-closed songs. beautiful energy, people dancing in their seats. the kind of afternoon where nobody’s checking the time because everybody’s too busy enjoying themselves.

and when Mary J. songs filled the room…i had one of those soft little moments with myself.

my mom loveddddd Mary J 🤍 like LOVED her 🥰 so hearing those songs, meeting Mary, and being in a room full of people singing every word felt special in the sweetest way. i just know my mom would’ve been standing tall in that room singing EVERY word lol. surrounded by good people, laughing until my cheeks hurt…one of those moments where life softly reminds you that love doesn’t really leave.

also…the live music + DJs combo was immaculate 😮‍💨 every time i thought the vibe peaked...somehow it got better. everybody there really poured into the experience and you could feel just that.

10/10 day.
10/10 women.
10/10 music.
would absolutely romanticize this exact afternoon again.

I don’t think people talk enough about how a city can flirt with you… 😮‍💨

one minute it’s hills that don’t make sense, the next it’s me on a scooter trying not to look amateur, wind in my hair, no destination…just vibes

we did everything and nothing at the same time… 🍷
wine train through Napa, little vineyards that felt like secrets, glasses clinking like we had something to celebrate (always do)

Muir Woods felt like God whispered “breathe” and I actually listened… 🌲 like…quiet in a way that makes you check back in with yourself

then boom…back to the city. cable cars, Chinatown food that made everything else I’ve eaten feel very forgettable, little Italy, Japan town, & streets full of energyyy

nighttime? different story… 😏 music, laughter, a little chaos, a little “should we be doing this?” the kind of night you don’t over explain…you just smile when you think about it

and somewhere in between all of that…I realized I love when life feels a little unpredictable. like I’m not trying to control every moment. just living it…fully…and letting that be more than enough 🤞🏾

💭 I used to think lips were just…lips.

Like something you enhance, soften, shape…and move on. But the longer I’ve been doing this, the more I’ve realized they quietly control EVERYTHING.

That changed how I treat the entire face.

🫦 You can adjust hydration and suddenly someone looks more awake.
🫦 You can refine the border and their whole face looks more structured.
🫦 You can add volume in the wrong place and…now nothing looks right and no one knows why.

Lips aren’t the center of the face because of size. They’re the center because of how the brain reads them…contrast, movement, balance, expression…all hitting at once.

Once you understand that, you stop chasing “fuller” and start chasing “makes sense.” 😏

And that’s why The Lip Trifecta™ works.

CONFESSION 🧡…sometimes I book flights before I feel ready…on purpose 🤞🏾

because if I wait for everything to line up perfectly, I won’t go…and then I stay in that version of me that’s always handling things instead of actually living

London got me without the “productive” filter on…no “what’s next”, no “make this count”, no trying to squeeze something out of every moment…just being there, and letting that be enough

and nothing fell apart while I was gone…that wasn’t lost on me. I have the best team that really holds it down when I step away 🫶🏾

listennnn…some of y’all might need a flight, not a plan 😮‍💨 not everything needs to be optimized…some things just need to be lived

🚩 UNPOPULAR TRUTH: not everyone should become an injector…and I mean that with love 💉 this isn’t the same industry I walked into in 2011…not even close 😅 let’s talk about it!

👉🏾 when I started, there were about 1,600 med spas in the entire US. now? there are 10,000+…and growing.

👉🏾 in 2021 alone, 17% of all existing med spas opened in a single year.

👉🏾 and here’s the one that really gets me…you can become an “injector” without ever being required to learn how to inject. the law says you can inject…but doesn’t make sure you know how to 🤯 so yes, it’s growing fast. but the standards didn’t grow with it.

when I started injecting in 2011, nobody was lining up to do this. there was no roadmap, no aesthetic influencers, no weekend courses giving confidence overnight 😮‍💨 it was slower, quieter…and you had to really want it.

now it’s louder, more crowded, and a lot of people are trying to figure out if it’s “worth it.” so instead of hype…I gave you facts. numbers. what’s actually happening behind the scenes. because this space? it’s growing like crazy…but it’s also getting more competitive, more saturated, and honestly…a little messy if we’re being real 🧐

& this is the part I don’t take lightly…we are working on people’s faces, their confidence, sometimes their deepest insecurities. this isn’t something you just figure out as you go & this is not the place to be guessing 😪 and the bar being low right now? I don’t celebrate that. I think it’s something we should be raising.

but here’s the other side…

this career became something I genuinely love. I get to create, think, connect, and build something that actually means something to me. not to mention, the best part…my patients turned friends, my amazing team turned family…all the relationships 🫶🏾

so is it worth it?

it can be. but only if you’re willing to step into a field where growth has outpaced training…and take your education further than the minimum. the barrier to entry is low…but the stakes are high.

if you read this and felt excited…not overwhelmed? you might be exactly who this industry needs 👊🏽💯

you either get really good…or you get lost in it.
