A listener drops the tea on a messy rental salon situation: rent hikes, commission assistants in a booth rental space, unclear policies, and a salon owner watching everyone on motion-sensor cameras. Cyd and David unpack why hybrid models get chaotic fast, how leadership confusion breeds distrust, and why booth renters need to understand they're glorified tenants—not team members. Oh, and if you're scared of salon cameras? You might just be scared of getting caught.

A stylist is booked out for six months, making great money, and still refuses to raise their prices. Sound familiar? In this episode, we break down why being fully booked isn't the goal—it's a trap. Cyd and David tackle the emotional, spiritual, and strategic reasons stylists resist raising prices, and why doing it when things are good is the real power move. From guilt to burnout to hostage scheduling, this one's a crash course in critical thinking, conscious leadership, and why that six-month waitlist might be a red flag—not a flex.

It's the final part of the series salon owners can't stop texting their therapist about. In this episode, Cyd and David drop the last four reasons your team is bouncing—fast. From staying delusional about what your stylists actually want, to ignoring modern tech and holding your entire business together with duct tape and lash glue—this is the episode that'll make you laugh, cringe, and hopefully… evolve. We're talking favoritism, freedom, and why “flexibility” doesn't mean chaos. It's funny, fiery, and a little too real.

They break down more of the subconscious—and not-so-subtle—ways salon owners sabotage their teams, including turning every meeting into a therapy session, offering fake "growth paths," and trying to prove how broke they are as a leadership flex. You'll hear mic drops on emotional labor, commission structure chaos, and the infamous unreachable level system from hell. Whether you're a salon owner or a stylist, this episode is spicy, hilarious, and painfully real.

Welcome to a special chaos-filled episode—featuring baby co-hosts, N*SYNC debates, and the cold, hard truth about why stylists keep quitting. Cyd and David dive into the viral TikTok trend that exposed why hairdressers really leave commission salons—and it's not just about the money.

If your team keeps ghosting, this episode is your wake-up call.

In this astrology-meets-business episode of Destroy The Hairdresser, Cyd is joined by professional astrologer and longtime friend Josh Robbins (formerly Astral Above).

“I finally made money… now I'm scared to spend it.” Welcome to the emotional rollercoaster of financial growth.

Cyd's back on Threads and back on her bullshit (the good kind).

In this raw and emotional conversation, Cyd opens up about navigating IVF, experiencing a devastating pregnancy loss, and the toll social media took on her mental and physical health.

Welcome back to Gnostic Insights. Last week, we had part one of Correspondence with an Educated Atheist, and after posting that, I received an email from my correspondent, and it was very interesting because it turns out that all this time I thought I was corresponding with a female because this person's name is one of those gender-neutral names, like my own name, Cyd. I was often miscategorized as a male coming into a new classroom or, like, going to summer camp I was put on the boy's side and so forth because my name was unusual back in the 1950s. So this person has this sort of name that could be taken either as male or female, and I just assumed it was a female. That's a funny thing to me.  Now, flip that whole conversation from last week, and every time I said she, please insert the word he, and now I'm re-recording part two so I can correctly identify my correspondent. He was very gracious about the misunderstanding, of course. Very, very nice person.  He had asked, “Is it possible that the truth of creation might be something difficult or even something unpalatable?” And I answer, well, that's what a lot of people are saying, isn't it? I think it is a message meant to dishearten us, meant to depress us. I notice that the people who believe that are not happy campers. In the end, it doesn't matter what memes we cling to here on this material plane. All will be revealed when we pass over to the other side. He asks, “Is it too much to ask for some sort of indication or revelation or glimpse of the existence of the Fullness? What actions would you suggest should be the next step?” And I say, it's not too much to ask. It's what prayer is all about. If you have never prayed to the higher power, you simply find a quiet spot or maybe in the middle of the night when you're lying in bed awake and you just ask the Source to reveal itself to you. “Ask and you will find. Knock and the door will open.” [Matthew 7:7] You can ask for revelation. You can ask for an unmistakable sign. When I was a young believer, I would ask for things expecting them to happen, and they did. Once as a teenager, I was hitchhiking up the California coast. I had no fear for myself because I was and still am an innocent, and I believe that Jesus walked everywhere with me and that he would protect me from all harm. One night I camped with strange men, but I preached to them and no harm came to me. In the morning, we were all hitchhiking together for the first ride of the day, and I prayed out loud for a red pickup truck to come and pick us all up. About a minute later, a red pickup truck came and picked us all up. It was quite a testimony to those men, like a real miracle. I realize that Christianity has gotten a bad rap lately in the progressive and atheist circles, but remember that the institution is not the Source. The map is not the territory. You can pray to Jesus or to the Father or to the Source or to the Fullness of God. They are all listening. If you pray for revelation with an open heart, your heart will be filled and you will know. Millions of people throughout the years have done just that and have come out the other side walking with God, walking with Jesus. This has nothing to do with salvation or church doctrine. This is going to the Source. I love you. I'm proud of you for opening up and exploring these spiritual depths—onward and upward. In our most recent correspondence, he says, Thanks so much for taking the time to answer my questions in some detail. I will take a while to read and reread your answers. I have found the Simple Explanation book on Audible, so I am going to download it and listen in the car as a starting point. Gnosticism is complex, he says, yet also appealing. There are a few things that don't seem necessary, like a complex celestial hierarchy with different Aeons and their pre-assigned roles, rather like cogs in a great machine. As someone who has spent a lot of time with histori...

But few people know the details of his own story and how he became one of the most beloved and respected psychologists and faith influencers in America. In this indelibly personal and vulnerable book, Dr. Cloud leads us through his early struggles with illness and depression and the miracles that healed him and led him to his calling as a healer of others. Through masterful storytelling combined with a deeply nuanced understanding of the human mind, Dr. Cloud invites readers to inhabit the spaces of suffering and elation that make us most human and to walk alongside of him as he ponders the great questions we are so often afraid to ask but which also give life meaning."Stay Connected: NEED spiritual direction or coaching that aligns with this podcast?

In the realm of health and wellness, some individuals find ways to intertwine their professional pursuits with their spiritual missions. Cyd Notter is one such individual. As an ardent advocate for plant-based nutrition and the author of "The Plan A Diet," Cyd uses her business as a platform to carry out her ministry.    In a recent episode of the Health Science Podcast, Cyd shared insights into her journey, the power of community, and practical tips for overcoming barriers to a healthy lifestyle.   The Intersection of Business and Ministry   Cyd's commitment to health goes beyond the bounds of business; it is her ministry. Inspired by her faith and the belief that our bodies are wonderfully made, she founded the "Wonderfully Made Ministry." This initiative aims to promote healthy eating within her church community through weight loss challenges, cooking demonstrations, and educational talks. Despite modest attendance, Cyd remains undeterred, driven by the belief that even reaching a few individuals can make a significant difference.   The Power of Encouragement and Community   One of the recurring themes in Cyd's conversation was the power of encouragement and community. Reflecting on a quote by Clint Eastwood—"He gets up every morning and goes outside and doesn't let the old man in"—Cyd emphasized the importance of staying active and vibrant regardless of age. This sentiment resonated deeply with her and underscored her belief in breaking free from societal age-related stereotypes.   Addressing Resistance to Change   A significant portion of the conversation revolved around common barriers to adopting a healthier lifestyle. Cyd identified twelve specific reasons that often deter individuals from making lasting changes, including pain avoidance, emotional eating, food addictions, and ingrained habits. The avoidance of discomfort is a major hurdle for many people.  Cyd emphasizes that people who are successful long-term are willing to endure the short-term period of discomfort needed to get over the hump.   Family and peer pressure also play a significant role. Cyd cited an article suggesting that the lack of household support is the biggest reason for failure in maintaining a healthy lifestyle. https://HealthScience.org/podcast/087-Cyd-Notter

The hosts also discuss how some coaching programs promise unrealistic results, often leading participants to disappointment if they don't achieve the same success. They emphasize the importance of critical thinking, personal accountability, and adaptability in any business venture. Furthermore, they draw a distinction between coaching and consulting, urging listeners to carefully evaluate the promises of any program before joining.
