This is it 🤍
The final ever episode of Beauty, Business & Being a Boss Babe.

In today’s episode, I’m speaking completely from the heart — no notes, no plan, no agenda — just honesty.

I reflect on:

• Why I’ve decided to step away from Lauren The Beauty Boss
• What serving the beauty industry has meant to me over the years
• The growth, the pressure, the lessons, and the evolution
• Why choosing a quieter, simpler life doesn’t mean failure — it means alignment
• My decision to return fully to being a therapist
• And why it’s okay to outgrow versions of yourself that once felt like everything

This podcast has been one of the biggest chapters of my life, and I’m endlessly grateful to every single person who listened, shared, messaged me, or built their business alongside me.

This episode is a goodbye — but also a thank you.

✨ A new personal podcast will be launching in February on my personal socials @laurenlilylea
✨ For now, this is about closing this chapter with honesty and gratitude

Thank you for being here.
Always 🤍

Today’s episode is a little end-of-year catch-up before I log off for Christmas ✨

I’m chatting openly about my accounts, tightening up expenses, and why being more intentional with money has been a big focus for me lately (no scary numbers, promise 😅).

I also share that I’m taking a two-week Christmas break from the podcast — time to rest, reset and actually enjoy the season without the guilt.

We also get into a bigger convo about the gap between the wealthy and the middle class, how spending habits are changing, and what that might mean for our industry moving forward. It’s one of those “we need to be aware, not scared” chats 💭

Just a real, honest episode to close out the year with clarity, perspective and good energy.

Thank you for being here, supporting the pod and hyping me up all year 🫶
I’ll see you after Christmas — rested, recharged and ready for what’s next ✨🎧

Money and tax can feel overwhelming – especially when no one ever taught us how to run a business, only how to do the treatments.

With my year-end approaching, I wanted to have an honest, real conversation about money, finances, and understanding your business better – without the fear, shame, or confusion.

In this episode, I talk about why year-end actually matters, common things beauty business owners often forget they can claim for, and what not to claim. I also share how I’ve learned to ask better questions, feel more confident with my accounts, and stop avoiding money conversations altogether.

I also open up about how using ChatGPT has helped me understand accountant emails, write professional replies, and feel more in control of my business finances – even though I’m dyslexic and don’t naturally understand numbers.

This episode is not financial advice – it’s about awareness, confidence, and stepping into your CEO energy.

In this episode, we cover:

• Why year-end doesn’t need to be scary
• Why you don’t need to be “good with numbers” to run a successful business
• Common expenses beauty business owners can usually claim for
• Things you shouldn’t claim (and why that’s okay)
• Why tax isn’t a punishment for success
• How asking better questions can save stress and money
• How ChatGPT can help you understand your accounts and communicate with your accountant

If money conversations make you uncomfortable, this episode is for you.
You deserve to understand your business – not feel intimidated by it.
