The Daily Groomer

After Hours Episode #95: In this episode of After Hours, I get real about the energy we bring into grooming. I talk about my time at Groomed Atlanta, dealing with imposter syndrome, and learning to actually own your worth in this industry. We get into connection too—not just with the dogs, but with people—and why there’s honestly space for everyone to win. I also share a few simple ways to stay grounded when salon life gets chaotic. It’s an unfiltered convo about showing up with love, supporting each other, and focusing on being better than you were yesterday—not competing with everyone else.

After Hours Episode #94: In this episode of After Hours, I sit down with Perry Q—aka “Perry from BioGroom”. We chat about the world of trade shows, grooming competitions, and what it really takes to find your place in the grooming industry. From the behind-the-scenes hustle to dealing with self-doubt and building a business you actually enjoy, it’s a laid-back conversation full of stories, insights, and a few laughs along the way. Whether you’re deep in the industry or just curious about it, there’s a lot to take away from this one.

After Hours Episode #93: In this episode of After Hours, it’s just me, Shannon, I get real about accountability, why self-awareness matters, and how our mentality shapes everything in the grooming world. We chat about industry drama, wild stories from the salon, raising prices without losing your mind, and how to handle negativity like a boss. I even answer some live questions about keeping your energy strong in a corporate setting. If you’re ready for honesty, laughs, and some straight-up advice, this one’s for you!

After Hours Episode #92: In this episode of After Hours, I’m hanging out with Axel the Groomer Guy and we’re keeping it super real—talking all things “Slow Groomers Gang,” why taking your time matters, and the wild stuff that goes down behind the scenes at trade shows. We get into doodle drama, those double coated dogs, handling tough client convos, and even a bit of industry beef (no holds barred after hours!). If you want honest groomer talk, some laughs, and lots of real-life advice, you’re in the right place. Let’s dive in!
