Hello, hello — and welcome back to Greedy Bitch, the podcast for groomers who are done apologizing for wanting more. I'm your host, River Lee — founder of The Savvy Groomer, and if you're listening to this right now, friend, take a deep breath… because you made it. You survived the holiday rush. The double-booked doodles, the “just a quick nail trim” walk-ins, the clients who swear they called you “weeks ago” even though it was yesterday. You've been running on caffeine, chaos, and muscle memory. But now… it's over. And this is the part no one really talks about — the holiday emotional hangover. That strange cocktail of exhaustion, relief, pride, and maybe even a little resentment. You're proud of how hard you worked, but also wondering, “Why do I feel so fried?” You made it through the rush, but now you're staring at your table thinking, I don't even want to look at a pair of shears right now. I get it. This is the time of year when groomers start fantasizing about quitting everything and moving to a cabin in the woods with zero dogs and perfect Wi-Fi. But here's the thing: this quiet moment, this post-holiday pause — it's gold. Because what you do right now in this space between burnout and renewal is what sets the tone for your entire year ahead. So today, we're talking about how to reset — your energy, your systems, and your mindset. How to take everything you just went through and turn it into data, not drama. Because the goal isn't to just recover. It's to realign. So that January feels peaceful, intentional, and — yes — profitable. Let's be honest — the holidays don't just drain your energy; they distort your sense of normal. You've been operating in survival mode for weeks. Every spare minute is accounted for. You've said yes to appointments you didn't want. You've eaten more granola bars in the back room than actual meals. You've run out of patience, product, and probably paper towels. And now that the rush is over, you don't know whether to cry, nap, or deep-clean the salon. When we're in that state, our brains don't stop working — they start replaying. We replay the client who made us feel small. We replay the conversation we wish we'd handled better. We replay all the “I'll deal with it after the holidays” stuff that's now waiting for us. That's the emotional hangover. It's your system trying to process everything you didn't have time to feel in the moment. So before you dive back into the grind, pause. Ask yourself: What did this season really leave behind? Maybe it left behind clutter — literal or emotional. Maybe it left behind resentment — toward clients, staff, or even yourself. Or maybe, surprisingly, it left behind proof — proof that you can handle more than you thought possible. Whatever it is, see it. Because awareness is the first step to peace. You can't reset what you refuse to recognize. You've heard me say this before — burnout isn't failure. It's feedback. It's your body, your mind, your spirit saying, something's out of alignment. Every time you felt that flash of irritation or that tightness in your chest this season — that was data. When you felt underpaid, underappreciated, or just plain done — that was data too. It's all emotional information. And when you look at it through that lens, it stops being something to feel guilty about and becomes something you can learn from. Let's talk about some examples. That one client who always calls last-minute and expects a miracle? That's data about your boundaries. That one employee who's always “just five minutes late” but you never call it out? That's data about your leadership. That moment when you snapped at your favorite dog because you were exhausted and hungry? That's data about your self-care system — or lack of one. And here's the kicker — sometimes the data is about us. It's not always them. Sometimes we're the ones dropping the ball, over-promising, or taking things too personally. I'll share this story again because it changed the way I see everything: I once had to fire my own groomer. They weren't bad. The haircuts were fine. But the communication? Not so much. Every pickup time changed, every “what's included” conversation turned awkward. When I finally asked for clarity, I got attitude. And I remember thinking — “Oh. This must be what my clients feel like when I'm too tired to explain myself clearly.” That was my data. It wasn't about blame — it was about awareness. Because self-awareness is what turns a good groomer into a great leader. So here's your journal prompt this week: “What did this season teach me about me?” Maybe it taught you you're stronger than you thought. Maybe it showed you where you need to delegate. Or maybe it just revealed where you're stretched too thin. You don't need to fix it all right now. You just need to notice it. Because that's the beginning of every meaningful change. Alright — now that you've gathered your emotional data, let's do something with it. Let's talk about the December Debrief. Think of it as your end-of-year checkup — for your business and your brain. Grab a notebook, open a Google Doc, or just voice-record your thoughts while you clean up your table. We're going to go through five quick categories: 1️⃣ Money — What actually made a profit? What quietly drained it? Did your add-on services carry you? Or did you undercharge for those “holiday extras”? Look at where the money flowed easily — and where it felt like pulling teeth. 2️⃣ Mindset — When did you feel calm, confident, and in control… and when did you start people-pleasing? Did you say “yes” because you wanted to — or because you were afraid to say “no”? 3️⃣ Boundaries — Where did you hold firm? Where did you give a soft yes that you regretted later? This isn't about guilt — it's about gathering the truth. 4️⃣ Clients — Who energized you? Who drained you? If you felt a pit in your stomach when someone texted, that's not a coincidence. 5️⃣ Body — When did you nourish yourself? And when did you skip yourself? Did you hydrate? Eat? Stretch? Or did you run on fumes and Red Bull? You don't need a spreadsheet. You just need honesty. Write one “ugh” thought, then balance it with three “I'm proud I…” wins. Because yes, this season had its chaos — but it also had victories. You showed up. You made it through. You built something real. And once you see your patterns on paper, you'll start to see where to fine-tune. That's how you stop repeating the same problems every year — by actually learning from them instead of just surviving them. Okay, so you've done your emotional inventory and your operational checkup. Now it's time to clean house — literally and figuratively. Let's start with your client list. Who's truly your soulmate client — the ones who pay on time, respect your schedule, and trust your process? And who's been quietly draining you? If you've got someone who's been disrespectful, chronically late, or constantly “forgetting” your policies, I promise you — you do not need to drag that energy into a new year. Let them go. Kindly, professionally, gracefully. You can say something like: “We love Fluffy, but we don't feel we can meet your needs anymore. Here's a list of groomers who might be a better fit.” That's not rude — that's leadership. Because when you release what's misaligned, you make room for what is. Next, look at your systems. Anything that made December harder than it needed to be? Fix it now. Update your reminder texts, your pricing sheets, your “what's included” policies. Create templates for common messages so you're not rewriting the same thing a hundred times. And if you realized your SOPs live in your brain and nowhere else — that's your sign to get them documented. Your future self will thank you. And finally — reward yourself. I mean it. Not the “I'll rest when I've caught up” kind of reward. The “I've earned this” kind of rest. Book a massage. Schedule a nothing day. Turn your phone on Do Not Disturb and watch trash TV with your dog. Because rest isn't lazy — it's leadership. Your brain needs white space to reset. Your creativity needs silence to breathe. And your body needs care to keep doing this work long-term. Peace doesn't just appear — it's something you build. Through boundaries, clarity, and compassion — for yourself and for everyone you serve. So as we head into January, remember — you don't need to overhaul everything. You don't need to reinvent your business or make a massive new plan. You just need to make one small, intentional improvement in each area you struggled with this season. That's how you build a business that feels lighter, cleaner, calmer — without burning it down to start over. And because I know how busy you are, I made you something simple to help: The 5-Minute Year-End Clean-Up for Groomers. It's a free checklist to help you declutter your mental load, tighten your systems, and walk into January already a step ahead. You've survived the season — and more importantly, you've grown through it. Now give yourself permission to rest, reflect, and reset. Because peace isn't something you find — it's something you create. And honestly? That's the most Greedy Bitch thing you can do. Alright, my friend — take a deep breath. Let's look forward to a new year. If you know of a groomer who could use this podcast, feel free to share them. Until next time, stay savvy, stay greedy — and never apologize for wanting more.

Before we did the research on Roblox, we honestly thought it was just a simple video game. Most parents probably do. But the reality is far more complicated. Roblox is a massive gaming platform with millions of user-created games inside it. Anyone can build a game, and kids can jump in and play — which means there's essentially no real regulation. And because kids are kids, they don't always recognize what's happening. Groomers often pretend to be the same age as the child they're interacting with, and they know exactly how to move conversations off the platform where they can't be traced. These people are highly skilled at what they do, which is why parents need to know what's really happening behind the scenes.

 If you've ever asked your groomer, "Why can't you make him look like the dog in the picture?" Or if you're a groomer, "Why aren't my grooms looking like those gorgeous faces that I see other groomers do?" This week, we're talking about why behavior is the key to getting those gorgeous faces. Once we understand how calm, comfortable, and cooperative changes everything about prep work. Then we can get those gorgeous headsFor full transcripts, go to the audio episode on CreatingGreatGroomingDogs.comFor more info on all of my classes etc, go to https://link.content360.io/CreatingGreatGroomingDogsYou can also listen to this episode as a podcast on my website or anywhere you listen to podcasts.For more information about my classes-The full diploma programMaster Groomer Behavior Specialist(MGBS) diploma programShorter courses-Modern Behavior & Handling for GroomersGroom S.M.A.R.T.Want to support the show?

This week, we're discussing counterconditioning and desensitization. Many groomers misuse these terms, thinking they can simply expose dogs to scary tools or procedures to make them less sensitive, but this often has the opposite effect. We'll explore how to properly implement these techniques to help dogs feel safe, comfortable, and cooperative during grooming.For full transcripts, go to the audio episode on CreatingGreatGroomingDogs.comFor more info on all of my classes etc, go to https://link.content360.io/CreatingGreatGroomingDogsYou can also listen to this episode as a podcast on my website or anywhere you listen to podcasts.For more information about my classes-The full diploma programMaster Groomer Behavior Specialist(MGBS) diploma programShorter courses-Modern Behavior & Handling for GroomersGroom S.M.A.R.T.Want to support the show?

They call it greedy. We call it boundaries. This is Greedy Bitch — where groomers stop settling, stop explaining, and start living life on their own terms. I'm your host, River Lee — and listen, if your hands hurt, your phone won't stop buzzing, and your clients are already asking to be squeezed in before the holidays… friend, I feel you. We are about to be in the thick of it. It's the season of over-caffeinated chaos. Fur is literally everywhere. You've got bows in places bows were never meant to be. And somehow, even with all this “holiday cheer,” you're starting to feel… tapped out. Because here's the thing no one tells you about gratitude season: it can make you forget your own limits. You start thinking, “I should be thankful. I should say yes. I should just push through.” But that's not gratitude — that's martyrdom dressed like a turkey. True gratitude doesn't mean saying yes to everything. It means respecting yourself enough to say no when you need to. So today, we're going to talk about something most groomers struggle with — especially this time of year — and that's boundaries. Because friend, boundaries are not mean. Boundaries are not selfish. Boundaries are how you say, “I'm grateful for what I have — and I want to protect it.” So grab that cold cup of coffee from this morning, take a deep breath, and let's talk about how “no” can actually be the kindest form of “thank you.” Let's be real. Groomers have a hard time saying no. Some of us will spend hours dematting a dog so we don't have to send them home as a shaved naked sacrificial lamb for the holidays… Then someone squeezes in that once a year husky or the doodle who canceled the last 2 months appointments… then, SURPRISE! They have to get in now because it's an emergency. It seems like the holidays mean handling cranky clients —God forbid you tell someone you can't squeeze them in? That you'll have to shave their dog like a naked mole rat? Suddenly we're hiding in the back room so we don't have to make eye contact with the customer we know is going to be pissed or turning the ringer off so you don't have to avoid the call from ‘you know who.' Why? Because we're scared. Scared of losing clients. Scared they'll bad-mouth us online. Scared they'll think we don't care about their pets we sacrifice so deeply for. And then there's the guilt. “Oh, they've been coming here forever.” “Oh, their dog's so sweet, I'll just squeeze them in.” “Oh, it's just one more little Shih Tzu — what's the harm?” The harm is your sanity. Every “just one more” chips away at your patience, your body, and your joy. And let's not forget the soft yes. You know the one: “Let me see what I can do.” “If someone cancels, I'll call you.” Or my personal favorite: “I'll try to fit you in somewhere.” No you won't. You're already booked up to your eyeballs. You're lying to yourself out of guilt. Here's what happens — you say yes out of kindness, but then you're angry the whole time you're grooming that dog. You try to smile when they come to pick up but you know they don't actually appreciate how much you did for them. You're rushing, your back hurts, you're starving, and you're muttering under your breath like, “I swear, next year I'm not doing this again.” But you will — unless you start recognizing that saying yes to everyone else means saying no to yourself. You think you're being grateful, but what you're really doing is giving your peace away in tiny little pieces — one soft yes at a time. And listen, if you've ever found yourself crying in your car between grooms, eating gas station snacks for lunch, and wondering why you're so tired — it's not because you're weak. It's because you've been saying “yes” when your soul and body has been begging you to say “no.” Alright— let's reframe this whole thing. What if saying “no” was actually the most loving thing you could do? Think about it this way: When you say no to an overbooked day, you're saying yes to the dogs already on your table. You're saying yes to doing your best work. When you say no to last-minute chaos, you're saying yes to your health, your family, your peace. That's not rejection — that's respect. Boundaries are love with structure. You know how we have grooming loops to keep dogs safely on grooming tables and in tubs? Boundaries are the emotional version of that. They keep your career from falling off the table. Let me tell you a quick story. A few years ago, I had a client — sweet lady, older and a terrible planner. Every thanksgiving AND christmas, she'd call me in a panic: “Oh River, I forgot to book! Can you just squeeze in Bailey? Just this once?” And every year, I'd cave. I'd stay late, skip dinner, and tell myself, “It's fine, it's the holidays.” One year, I was so behind that I actually forgot to eat for 12 hours. I was shaky, dehydrated, and trying to not shave down the ancient skin tag riddled bichon because ‘surely this is the last time' while convincing myself I was being kind. Spoiler alert: I wasn't. I was exhausted, cranky, and if I'm honest, Bailey could feel it. The following year, I said no. Kindly. Firmly. “I'm so sorry, I'm not accepting grooming clients in November or December if they had not received a full groom in September or October. Let's pre-book for next time so this doesn't happen again.” She huffed. She whined. And then? She booked ahead. Because clients adjust to the boundaries you teach them. That's when it hit me: Every time you say yes to something that hurts you, you're teaching clients that your time and energy don't matter. But every time you say no with confidence, you teach them that they're working with a professional — not a pushover. Boundaries don't scare away the right clients. They filter out the wrong ones. Alright, let's talk about how to actually do this. Because it's one thing to nod along, and it's another to hit “send” on that text that says, “I can't fit you in.” Here's where to start: Step one: Decide your limits before the chaos hits. Know the last booking date before the holiday. Are you working the morning of thanksgiving? Are you closed christmas eve morning? Then decide limitations like no full grooms the week of Thanksgiving or Christmas. Maybe set limits of how many dogs per day you'll groom and see what feels healthy. Write it down — because when you're tired, when you feel pressure, your boundaries get fuzzy. Step two: Communicate clearly. You can be kind and firm. Try something like: “Hey! I'm fully booked for the holidays, but I'd love to add you to my cancellation list or get you on the schedule for January.” That's not rude — that's clear boundaries. Step three: Use your tools. Post booking reminders on social media. Use automated messages. And if writing those texts stresses you out — don't worry, I've got you covered. I created a Free Holiday Boundaries Script with word-for-word responses for every “Can you squeeze me in?” and “But I forgot to book!” message you'll get this season. You can grab it right now at SavvyGroomer.com/HolidayBoundaries Step four: Enforce your boundaries. Once you set them, stick to them. Because if you don't respect your own limits, no one else will. You teach people how to treat you — and that includes your clients. Before we wrap up, I just want you to remember this: Boundaries are not barriers — they're bridges. They connect who you are to the life you actually want to live. When you say “no” from a place of love, you're saying, “I want to keep doing this career I adore, without losing myself in it.” That's not selfish. That's sacred. So this week, I want you to pick one small boundary to hold. Maybe it's no texting after hours. Maybe it's saying “no” to a same-day request. Maybe it's taking a lunch break — a real one, with food that didn't come from a gas station or dunkin donuts. Whatever it is, do it for you. Because gratitude without boundaries is just burnout in a cute outfit. You deserve peace. You deserve rest. And you deserve to be respected — by your clients and by yourself. Alright, that's it for this week's episode of Greedy Bitch. If this hit home, share it with a fellow groomer who needs permission to say “no” without guilt. And don't forget to grab your Free Holiday Boundaries Script at SavvyGroomer.com/HolidayBoundaries Until next time — stay grateful, stay gritty, and as always… stay greedy, bitch.

We discuss forced conversions, radicalisation, the culture of violence behind bars, and the political correctness preventing the public from hearing the truth. Neil opens up about the reality of working around child predators, the fear officers live under, and the controversial treatment of inmates based on religion or race. This is one of the most explosive Heretics episodes yet—challenging official narratives and digging into Britain's most taboo subjects.

The Sandra Birchmore Case – How Police Groomers Kept Her Silent for Years Description: For years, Sandra Birchmore tried to tell people what was happening to her—about the older police officer who was “in a relationship” with her since she was 15, about the abuse, about the lies. No one listened. In this episode, psychotherapist Shavaun Scott joins us to dissect how grooming operates under the radar when the abuser is a man with a badge—and the trust of the system. We explore how predators manipulate their victims into silence, what keeps victims loyal to their abusers, and why law enforcement institutions are uniquely vulnerable to this kind of cover-up. Sandra didn't stay silent because she was weak. She stayed silent because the system made her believe she had no other choice. Until it was too late. #SandraBirchmore #Grooming #PoliceCorruption #ShavaunScott #TrueCrimePsychology #ExplorerProgram #PredatorProtection #VictimSilencing #HiddenKillersPodcast #TonyBrueski Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?  Check out our YouTube Channel. https://www.youtube.com/@hiddenkillerspod Instagram https://www.instagram.com/hiddenkillerspod/ Facebook https://www.facebook.com/hiddenkillerspod/ Tik-Tok https://www.tiktok.com/@hiddenkillerspod X Twitter https://x.com/tonybpod Listen Ad-Free On Apple Podcasts Here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/true-crime-today-premium-plus-ad-free-advance-episode/id1705422872
