Do you ever feel guilty for taking a break from work, even though you probably haven't had a day off in two days...or maybe even two weeks? Do you ever wonder why it's been so normalized to run and survive off of only your favorite Starbucks drink, a few bites (if that) of food -- and zero bathroom breaks? Why is it so easy to justify being a martyr in the workplace? How do we balance deep, impactful, and fulfilling work while also finding time for deep, impactful, and fulfilling rest - and not feel guilty about it? In this brand new, powerful, and intensive episode, listen as Ani Rivera and guest host Katie Guthrie address the issue of feeling habitual guilt and shame surrounding making time for rest from our work. Listen as they discuss different ways to feel good about making time away from our work for healthy, reasonable space to recharge and recuperate our mind, body, and spirit. Quotes of the week: "I've realized that, If I'm not in a good place, and if I cannot stand in a place of power and strength and mental and emotional clarity, then I can't help them.

*Encore presentation from May 15, 2018* Welcome to this week’s steamy episode of the Date Your Wife podcast sponsored by DKW Styling and featuring dual producers inside the game of business, money, and life – Danielle K and Garrett J White – who are keeping it real and raw no matter what level of success they achieve. Although today’s topic is one of the tougher topics for many couples to get real about, the Whites break down all barriers and bares all in this week’s enlightening, revealing and transparent conversation about sex. Every week married couple Danielle and Garrett J White share insights and perspectives from within their own lives regarding the following topics discussed each month: Week 1: Sex Week 2: Money Week 3: Parenting Week 4: Communication In This Week’s Podcast….SEX Point #1: Ass Cheeks ‘n Thongs Danielle: We were at Cabo, lots of sex, no kids, drinking gin, and this medium-looking girl walks by with her guy, she’s wearing a thong and has a tiny bum – even I noticed. It’s when your head followed and you kept following. Usually, you’re super respectful. But you kept prolonging that ass. Garrett: You caught me on that one. You do have control over how long you entertain, but you have zero control over the fact that if nine sets of ass cheeks are walking by you, and you’re sitting there with your wife whose ass cheeks you love, as a guy in that environment it is a work of art to try to NOT do two things: #1- look, #2- try to not be weird about it when you’re with your wife. QUESTION How do you feel about prolongued looks at the opposite sex by your partner? Point #2: Sexual Triggers Danielle: Being turned on by a guy is all about how he carries himself; it’s all about his energy and not about the idea of having sex with him. You might get butterflies and think, ‘oh he’s cute,’ but usually you never entertain it until later when it comes up and you wonder why you’re so horny. Garrett: As guys, we have a very different challenge because we are constantly being stimulated. You can be at church and a woman walks by wearing a shirt where her nipples are protruding and you can be a super committed loyal man to your wife, and nonetheless, you are sexually triggered. QUESTION What triggers you sexually? Point #3: Finding Your Inner Stripper For years, Garrett wanted Danielle to send him sexy photos of herself, but for a long time, she wasn’t about that. She eventually had a boudoir photoshoot that was not only for Garrett, but it also helped her find her inner stripper and channel more of her sexual being. “When I’m learning and growing in life, I’ll do things to get out of my comfort zone because it pisses me off that I’m operating in a certain way. Doing the pictures made me nervous but I decided to just do it. It gives you permission to roleplay and it spices things up a little bit.” QUESTION What is something you can do this week to step out of your comfort zone in your relationship? Point #4: Reflection in the Mirror Garrett: It’s very difficult for a guy to have his thoughts in check if he’s not getting laid. As a guy, you are naturally sexually charged and if you and your wife are not having sex for whatever reason – if physical intimacy is not happening – his sexual energy goes even higher, which is what leads a man to go porn and masturbation, which ultimately leads to a bigger problem. Ladies, if you shame and guilt your husband because he’s looking at porn, I’d invite you to look in the mirror at how you’re showing up. The majority of men are looking at porn because they are not getting their sexual and emotional needs met at home – the relationship sex game is horseshit and not working out. QUESTION Ladies, how are you showing up sexually for your husband? Point #5: Road to Nowhere With consistent porn consumption and masturbation, you will stop putting your sexual energy towards your wife. You deplete all of your sexual energy into the computer and into your cell phone, and through masturbation, you literally push your energy away into the nothing. There’s no exchange of energy. Garrett: “Looking at porn and masturbating is a hollow experience. When I would go through these times of looking at porn and masturbating because Danielle and I were not on the same page, I would feel bad, alone and isolated. Turning to porn made it worse because I would start feeling even more resentment towards Danielle.” QUESTION Gentlemen, where are you in the porn/masturbation cycle? How are your actions affecting your wife and your relationship? Communication Challenge: Ladies, how can you use sex as a tool and as a connecting piece to restore order in the relationship? Date Night Topic: Do a little role playing on your next Date Night to channel your inner stripper and add a little spice to the mix. Quote of the Week: “Guys, at the end of the day, keep all of that sexual energy in because it forces you to get committed to getting laid. This is what I have noticed for myself. If I keep all the sexual energy inside of me by not masturbating or looking at porn, then it forces me to focus all that energy on Danielle.” —Garrett J White “Take the time to connect. Even if you’re working a lot and don’t see each other often, your relationship can only be as good as you’re willing to work on it. If you’re willing to cross the line for each other and not let it get too far disconnected, you can always stay in a good space. It’s when you let it go too far that it takes that much longer to repair it and get back up. It’s always a work in progress.” —Danielle K White

*This week's episode is a special encore presentation of a previously published episode of the Date Your Wife podcast.* This week Garrett and Danielle tackle the topic of money as dual producers. Their marriage was on the verge of divorce when Danielle found motivation to take care of herself as a possible single parent, ultimately leading to the success we see today with her salon, DKW Styling, and in her technique known as Natural Beaded Rows.   Point #1: Inside the Pit of Chaos During the time they were knocking on the door of divorce, Garrett was reeling from the market crash and had stopped producing. There’s an interesting game that plays out inside of money when the man isn’t producing, and together they were trying to figure it all out. During that transition, it really depolarized them as a couple energetically. Danielle realized she could help out financially and began turning her business into something more than a hobby. She wanted to be taken care of and also wanted to have freedom from the guilt of buying nice things for herself, remembering how her mother worked so their family could have nice things beyond their basic needs. QUESTION How have you seen your roles altered inside your marriage when financial challenges have arisen? Point #2: The Fight For the Throne There was this huge shift of power that came about because of money. Garrett went from the king of the castle to the servant of the queen who had her feet on both thrones while simultaneously wearing both the King’s crown and the Queen’s crown. This is the reality of production: it’s not just about the topic of money, it’s about the power play of production. Many times when a man loses the ability to produce and provide, and loses trust inside of that relationship, the woman is forced to go into masculine mode in order to produce, which creates this whole different dynamic and challenge. Garrett was under assault and fighting for the throne that Danielle was sitting on. Gentlemen, you’re not getting the throne until you prove that you’re actually the man. QUESTION Where are you as a couple in this Game of Thrones?  Point #3: From Gucci’s to Steel Toed Dude Shoes Danielle felt like she was the man in the relationship. If Garrett was trying to control her she’d tell him “you don’t have a fucking leg to stand on right now.” She was constantly annoyed by him and always trying to pull the rug out from under him which led to a lot of wars. When Garrett started becoming more consistent, Danielle felt that the safety net was back and she could start letting up a little on her intensity of the hustle and grind. As she let up on the gas, Garrett began getting in her face to prove he was more powerful. They started to go to war in a different direction which killed their ability to communicate. QUESTION How have you experienced this dynamic as a couple?  Point #4: Selective Cheap Bastard Mode Danielle: Garrett’s not big on any holiday. Most people look forward to holidays but he doesn’t. My love language is all about the gifts, but his isn’t. He’ll give a bum $40 and yet forget my birthday or won’t do anything for it. I’ve now figured out a little trick that gets me what I want from Garrett. Garrett: There will be times when Danielle wants to do something financially and I am thinking “this is ridiculous, there’s no fucking way, I don’t get it.” On the flip side, when it comes to rebuilding a salon, I’ll turn the switch on and Danielle goes into cheap bastard mode saying, “No!” My justification with money is: if it’s an investment, I put the money in. QUESTION What are your ‘Cheap Bastard Modes?’ What dynamic does that create in your relationship? Point #5: The Collision Inside the Money Game After eight months of not going to battle, they found themselves in the middle of a war zone recently around the topic of business. This reminded Garrett of a ‘shit show’ they created years back while dining in a quaint little restaurant in Beverly Hills, where they were both losing their minds and Garrett was ready to throw the table across the room. Garrett: It comes down to this: People want to feel validated in their desires with money. I want to feel validated inside my world when it comes to what I want financially, and you want to feel validated that your opinion matters when it comes to what you want financially. QUESTION  Do you battle often as a couple? How much of that is ‘healthy collision’ and how much of it is a down right war zone?   Communication Challenge: Begin the conversation of validation and what it looks like for each of you inside of your relationship.     Date Night Topic: What is going to be the next stretch for you two as a couple financially that will pull you two forward? For us, it was our new home. What will it be for you?   Quote of the Week: The moment I began to see that my family was an investment, I began to see the value in myself even more.” —Garrett J White “If you are trying to go to the next level in any area of your life, just take a look at what is possible. A lot of people focus on their current reality and think, “I can’t possibly go there” instead of asking, “What if?” or “I wonder?” We are both entrepreneurs, and I know that moving forward is always an option, regardless of where we currently are.” —Danielle K White

Whether you’re a hairdresser, entrepreneur, businessman or businesswoman, you’re bound to find massive value and enjoyment in the Big Money Stylist podcast. This week, creator and founder of NBR and DKW Styling, Danielle K White, and head trainer, Ani Rivera, have a riveting and spicy conversation around the many facets of Profit. Big Money Stylist, we go over the following formula each month: Week #1: Power Week #2: Production Week #3: Profit Week #4: Protection In This Week’s Episode…..PROFIT Point #1: Not Just a Hair Class BMS education is not your typical hair industry education, by any means. It is highly sought after with limited seating, thus making the enrollment process less than typical as well. It is extensive and is taken very seriously by the team. Coach Ani: BMS education is not normal: it’s hustle, grind, and commitment like never before, beginning with an intense three week lead up to the actual three-day event. Now we know what to look for in the applications that come in because we’ve gotten really clear on the different traits of those we want inside BMS, who will be a good fit for us, and vice-versa. QUESTION Where in your life are your hustle and grind lacking power and commitment?   Point #2: Communication Styles Coach Ani: The way I message Danielle is the same way I message Garrett – brief and to the point. When I hired Morgan on as my assistant, I told her don’t be offended, I’m not trying to be a dick, but I’m a very direct person and my mind moves very quickly. Danielle: I can’t play that role with Garrett because I’m his wife. When I have done that in the past, he would spout back at me as if I were a dude, then I would say fuck you buddy and get irritated. Now, I reframe it as a question, “Would you like to do this?’ Underneath it, though, I’m thinking “we’re fucking doing this!” I put the two emojis with a heart and sometimes with a flame, and he responds: Yeah, love it babe, fist bump… instead of being mad. It’s all about the packaging and the pre-frame. QUESTION What different communication styles do you use with the most important people in your life?   Point #3: Hats, Lids, and Boxes Coach Ani: When you wear so many hats, something can trigger you. If you try to solve it while you’re upset and pissed off, you’re not actually going to get a great solution. I never speak out of anger. If I’m that angry, I know I need to take a step back and quiet down. I don’t curse, I don’t scream, and I don’t yell because you can never take any of that back. I reel it in, reframe it, let it go, and move forward. Danielle:  Everybody has their level before they reach the point of explosion. Garrett is 1-2-3 BAM!  –  whereas I have to go through 16 levels before I’ll flip my lid. If you have two people who flip their lid simultaneously, you can’t have a productive conversation and are no longer in a logical space. If I step back and compose myself, Garrett comes back down into his box, and we’re able to have a logical and somewhat productive conversation. QUESTION What is your go-to response when you get triggered?   Point #4: Visions and Targets Coach Ani: When you get clear on what you want and set a goal or target, in the beginning, it has to be specific. If you say, “I just want to have the perfect client,” or “I just want to have more money,” what does that actually look like for you? Everyone’s picture is going to be different – the perfect client for you may not be the perfect client for someone else, or the amount of money you want may look different for someone else. Get specific, and at the same time, be flexible. Danielle:  I don’t create some kind of a vision board; they’re messy and look like a five-year-old’s collage. Also, I’ve noticed my Vision will change, so if I’m stuck on what I’ve put on this board, that can hold me back. If I’m so focused on this “one thing,” what other opportunities am I missing out on? When people have a set plan and shit goes sideways, where the plan doesn’t pan out or come to fruition, it creates chaos and confusion in their lives, and they plummet. My take on it? Shift your plan and change your story. QUESTION Where in your world have you been so set on a particular outcome that you have missed or turned away other opportunities that have shown up along the way?   Point #5: Vulnerability Coach Ani: One of my biggest weaknesses is being vulnerable. Garrett told me that I have one of the best poker faces. It goes stone cold, stoic; that’s how I am feeling. But underneath, I know it’s a hurricane. Even when I start crying, my face doesn’t change. I’m a literal weeping statue. When it comes to my students telling me some of the gnarliest shit I have ever heard in my life, it’s poker face, and I can’t let it affect me Danielle: When you’re coaching individual students and they’re in a painful place, if you’re both in tears at the same time, you’ll get nothing done. There’s a time and a place when vulnerability sets the stage and melts the audience, but when you’re trying to get shit done, it’s not effective. It’s learning to use your superpowers as needed. QUESTION What are your feelings about vulnerability: Strength, weakness, or both? Quote of the Week: “Stay consistent, follow your heart and intuition, and be able to logically back it up. Shift your gears and start going in the direction you feel like you should be going. As you follow your plan, you never know what opportunities will open up along the way.” — Danielle White “I encourage you to look at what you’re doing right now inside of your life and business. If you recognize that you have put yourself into a box because “I thought I wanted to do this,” or “I’ve been focused on this one goal so much,” rearrange it, journal about it, meditate, and do whatever you need to do to get yourself out of that box.” –Anianne Rivera

In the beginning, "sharing was caring," but there came a point in time when it became imperative for Danielle to protect the brand she had spent years creating and perfecting. She also realized the importance of protecting the experience of her client by doing away with her shadowing program. "I try to look at anything I do from the perspective of the client. If I was booking an appointment at a high end salon, what would I want my experience to look like?" QUESTION: How are you protecting the experience of your clients? Point #2: Are You in Alignment? There was a period of time in Danielle's life when she and her husband felt the need to protect their marriage and family by distancing themselves from and letting go of relationships that were no longer serving them, instead creating new relationships that aligned with their vision. You meet people in your life that help you connect from point A to point B. Once they stop serving you in a good way or adding any positivity to your life, you have to step back and ask yourself if it's worth trying to fix, or if it's time to move on. QUESTION: Look inside your life and inside your circle of influence - the people you're constantly around. Is there someone you know you need to be protecting yourself from? Point #3: Protecting the Client Danielle: Because I wear NBR extensions in my hair, when I hear stories on social media of salons using knock off versions of NBR and making scalps bleed, I'm like what the fuck! I can't even stand it. We have to protect our brand with the client because we're delivering a different service, a different product and a different experience than what's found outside of our salons. Jillian: I think it's disrespectful to the client if you don't know what the hell you're doing. We ask the people in our Mastermind to do 15 minutes of power practice every day which shows dedication to their clients and to their craft. Ani: When clients come and sit in our chair, they're trusting us to put our hands in their hair, to put chemicals in their hair, to change shit up and to really make a big difference for them, which makes their experience a top priority for us. QUESTION: Are you really giving your clients the best experience you can? Are you treating them the way you would want to be treated? Point #4: Churn and Burn No More Danielle: The retention of a client is becoming a lost and forgotten art in the hair industry. When you have the mindset of churn and burn, what the fuck does that say to your client? It says you don't give a shit about them. When you up the game and up the experience, not only is your client going to be happy, she's going to tell other people about her experience. At DKW Salons, one of the ways we protect ourselves, our brand and our clients is by creating a connection and killer experience for them right from the very start. We do this by paying close attention to the details before and after their appointment, we send follow up emails and reach out to them to see how they're doing. Creating an amazing client experience is a top priority for us. QUESTION: What systems do you have in place that focus on Client Retention and the Client Experience? Point #5: Winds of Change Danielle: We're rebirthing stylists to a new level. No more crappy routines and behaviors and all that shit that doesn't serve you. We're getting rid of all these bad habits and routines and putting stylists more on a pedestal. Ani: We're changing the game. We've literally taken the hair world and flipped it upside down. What we do is not normal, it's not seen and it's super intense. Having an emphasis on having a skill is not enough anymore. BMS (Big Money Stylist) is the methodology of NBR (Natural Beaded Rose) married up to business and marketing tactics. Conventions are held throughout the year where hundreds of Artists attend. BMS Intensives are smaller classes that cap out at 20 people for more personal, one-on-one hands on training.

We are at a tipping point which is so cool for me to see. I believe that what we are doing is 100% changing the game and is impacting our industry on a huge level." -- Danielle White "At the end of the day, when we go through and protect the clients by doing the power practice, doing NBR every single day, getting better at the beadwork, stitching and color - protecting them in that sense of practicing and giving them a good experience - it also protects us and the brand as well." --Anianne Rivera "I feel like I have to protect myself from myself. I'm like my own worst enemy, my harshest critic. Your heart knows what an amazing individual you are, so let it shine. Have that spark always. Don't let yourself dwindle by other outside factors. Put a bubble around you, one that allows people inside if they're awesome. Let yourself be you!" --Jillian Cheel   Stay Tuned for Next Week's Topic....POWER  

    Key Points Point #1: Toddler Hair to Bring New Techniques Natural Beaded Rows (NBR) came about because of always having super fine hair and the desire to have full, great hair. After looking at six different techniques and creating her own brand, Danielle realized that she is also an educator for a specific technique   Point #2: How to Become a Successful Business Owner Big Money Stylist (BMS) came about through discussing the business aspect of being a salon owner, which is NOT covered in hair college. It comes down to a marriage of being a business owner in front of the chair in order for the stylist to become an artist behind the chair.   Point #3: NBR Trainers: Val and Ani It was an instant connection when Valerie Plunk found DKW Styling before even learning about BMS because of the desire that she also had to have bomb hair extensions. As for Anianne Rivera, becoming part of BMS was getting pulled by the calling of learning the NBR technique.   Point #4: Carving Out Your Specific Niche The desire of creating a specific niche in the hair industry by creating an environment for a stylist to solely do NBR brought about the training and podcasts There's only so much that can be shared on an instagram post, so the next natural course of action became setting up trainings, conventions, and now the podcasts.   Point #5: Setting the Artist Free Taking NBR to the marketplace became a solution to setting the Artist within the hair stylist free. In order to do that, the Artist needs to know the business side behind the chair to make the art a reality.   __________________________________________ What's Covered Every Week, Every Month:   Week #1: Power   Week #2: Production and Perspective   Week #3: Profit   Week #4: Protection
