You probably know Alli best as the co-founder of Drybar, the whimsical salon that made blowouts as accessible and budget-friendly as your favorite skinny vanilla latte. After scaling to 150+ locations and launching a product line, Alli and her partners sold Drybar to focus attention on new ventures. She has since co-founded Squeeze—a way better massage experience, Okay Humans—the future of face-to-face talk therapy, and Beckett & Quill—a high-end, not high-spend jewelry line. And, there's no telling what she's got up her sleeve next. What all of these ventures have in common—beyond Alli herself—is that they opt to make something we all need (or want)—blowouts, massages, therapy, little luxuries—more within reach. In this sense, each endeavor also reflects what Alli represents on a more personal level as a stay-at-home-mom turned mogul—she makes launching a business, following a dream, or frankly “just doing the damn thing”.. within reach. Something any woman could do, as long as she's willing to jump. While she's graced the covers of today's most esteemed business and beauty publications, she has leant her expertise on the hit show, Shark Tank. She's an extremely successful entrepreneur and investor. But yes, she's also just like you—a woman who survived a public divorce and found love on the other side. A mom who bravely and full heartedly sent her son to rehab. A person who loves to give back and finds value in not only how well her ventures do, but how they make people feel—how she makes people feel. Get on your OUAI to save for the holiday.

Alli Webb is back! When we spoke with her back in 2018, premier blowout destination Drybar had become a household name with over 100 locations nationwide and a beloved line of products and styling tools sold at major retailers. In her first episode, Webb detailed the journey of her career from fashion and PR to creating the blowout empire. Since then, a lot has changed. The line of products and tools was acquired for $225 million, and Webb stepped away from the business in a major way, freeing her to launch an additional three companies, including the innovative massage concept Squeeze, talk therapy company Okay Humans, and jewelry brand Becket + Quill. Her most recent pivot, however, is taking on the president role at Canopy, the world's cleanest humidifier for beauty and skincare. On this episode, find out how Webb went through a personal and professional transformation that's left her more fulfilled than ever.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Christy Desai is the co-founder and CEO of Okay Humans, which was started to ”normalize seeking support, to rethink the outdated therapy model, and to open up the conversation about getting to okay.” Thanks to Christy's personal experience in therapy and through her work as a licensed marriage and family therapist, she knows just how transformative therapy can be and yet how cumbersome the process of getting started is. Passionate about helping others find a better way to therapy, Christy set out to improve the experience and found perfect partners along the way. Together, with the founders of Drybar they've made therapy more approachable, affordable, and accessible at their flagship storefront in Los Angeles. With mental health at the forefront of today's society, Okay Humans is making a positive difference and we're stoked! @okayhumans and #okayhumans #mentalhealth #counseling #christydesai #lmft

This week, Christy Desai,Co-founder, CEO, and LMFT at Okay Humans, a fresh approach to face to face therapy, designed to make getting help accessible and affordable for everyone, speaks with us about the importance of taking risks, following your intuitions, and advocating for yourself.

“If we're not visible then what are we doing? We were so passionate about changing the paradigm.“

After unsuccessfully trying to outrun the stress of life, Christy Desai finally looked for a therapist in hopes of catching her breath. What started as “3-5 sessions” turned into years of deep inner work. Her own experience turned into a personal mission to help other people feel better, stronger, and more alive. Christy returned to school to pursue a masters in clinical psychology as well as become a licensed marriage and family therapist. Being on both sides of therapy, as a client and a therapist, Christy saw how antiquated the process was for people to start therapy. She became determined to find a way to eliminate the barriers of entry to seeking therapy which led to the creation of Okay Humans. Okay Humans is a completely fresh approach to face-to-face talk therapy dedicated to modernizing and destigmatizing the entire experience around therapy. https://www.emotionalsupportpod.com/ @emotionalsupportpod @alessandratorresani https://www.okayhumans.com/ @okayhumans @okay_christy 1st Therapy Session FREE with COUPON CODE: EMOTIONAL

Alli Webb was always interested in beauty, starting from her roots as a curly-haired kid growing up in South Florida. She says that going to beauty school was “one of the best decisions I ever made,” and Drybar, her ultra-popular chain of hairstyling studios, definitely proves her point. While she says she spent her childhood as a people-pleaser—”a wallflower, if I'm honest”—she's grown into herself as a business owner and service expert.Alli spent her 20s in New York City, doing PR and styling hair until she met her ex-husband and pivoted to the stay-at-home-mom gig. “I thought it was the coolest thing ever: I get not to work? I thought I had hit the jackpot!” But after a half-decade of staying home with her two sons, she was bored. So she launched a mobile business called Straight At Home, pitching her blowouts on parental message boards and bringing a luxury that had been previously reserved for the glitterati to moms all over L.A. She quickly learned that her business model—which included paying for a babysitter and a lot of gas money—was barely breaking even. But when she tried to pull back, she found that her service wasn't really available anywhere else; her clients would either skip the little luxury, or they would make do at an all-purpose salon that got the job done but lacked that special touch. She envisioned a hair salon that got straight to where the magic happens: those final moments of a haircut that really put the oomph in the style. From that vision came Drybar.Instinctively, she knew that she wanted the Drybar experience to be predictable for clients, replicating the same style and services across the country. She even provided the salon tools, bucking the industry norm that stylists provide their own. “Aesthetically, I had this idea of what I wanted, which led to knowing that, whenever you go to a Drybar, you have the same experience.” This meant that clients could trust whoever was doing their styling, no matter what shop they were visiting. In the early days, clients pushed for Alli to expand her services. They asked for manicures and makeup services, and while Alli considered it, she ultimately decided against it. “We do one thing, and we do it really, really well.” Then, investors looked at her client volume and said they were crazy not to offer them more products, more services, more everything. Alli's response? “I don't want to.” To this day, Drybar offers a limited range of services that focus on great hairstyles, and they've grown to 150 shops nationwide. That doesn't mean she never expanded her business. From the beginning, Alli wanted to develop a line of harmonized hair products that would all work together. So when she raised her first round of funding, she ensured that, while the stores remained the focus, some of the money was earmarked for hair products. Her first partnership, with Sephora, helped launch Drybar from a place women went to something they could use in their daily life. Alli's gone on to launch other exciting brands, including Okay Humans, focusing on a “modernized talk therapy experience,” and Squeeze, a massage studio that is her brother's passion project. Alli says that her own divorce and a chance meeting with a newly licensed family therapist inspired her to “create an experience around talk therapy.” She's gone on to take an advisor-investor role with The Feel-Good Company, a collection of businesses aimed at making clients feel, you know, good. (She also helped launch the jewelry line Becket + Quill, proving that self-care comes in many forms.) While each business focuses on a single element of personal care, the Feel-Good umbrella takes care of HR, marketing, and other needs. This is our final episode of season four of I Make A Living, but don't worry—we'll be back soon with more stories of successful entrepreneurs and amazing business advice.

LMFT and CEO of Okay Humans, Christy Desai, is transforming the conversation and experience of going to therapy with an innovative talk therapy concept that's customer-forward, inviting and accessible. Collaborating with the founders of Drybar and Squeeze, Okay Humans is normalizing seeking help by helping people embrace therapy as part of their wellness journey.  It's ok to not be ok, but you don't have to be a victim to your circumstances or past trauma. Both Christy and I share how therapy has helped us heal along different touchpoints of our lives, and why the future of talk therapy should be a “feel good” experience, even if you're not quite there yet internally.  Going to your therapist should be as normal as going to the hairdresser or dentist, and thanks to gamechangers like Christy it can be. They've just opened the doors to their oasis (not a sterile doctors office) in Los Angeles, so be sure to check out their spot if you feel called to!   You will learn about...

We Talk About: Understanding the value of therapy Providing therapy to the world What Okay Humans is doing Making therapy less scary   Resources: okayhumans.com Instagram: @okayhumans Follow Christy: @okay_christy Follow Alli: @alliwebb Follow Lori: @loriharder Follow Brittany: @britdrisc   Show Notes: Everyone deserves to get the help they need to feel healthy and happy. Mental health may be entering the discussion more and more these days, but finding a therapist you feel comfortable with is still a scary process. Christy Desai, of Okay Humans, is hoping to change that by making therapy more accessible than ever before. Christy has a unique story that's sure to help a lot of people. Question Highlights:   What is your career path and how did you get to where you are today?   Guest Bio: After unsuccessfully trying to outrun the stress of life, Christy finally looked for a therapist in hopes of catching her breath. What started as “3-5 sessions” turned into years of deep, inner work – work she didn't even know she needed. And it freed her! She learned how to be okay with things like conflict, curveballs, and growth – just to name a few. Her own experience turned into a personal mission to help other people feel better, stronger, and more alive. There's no reason why talking to a trained professional shouldn't be as acceptable as going to the dentist, the hair salon, or seeking out a personal trainer. She started Okay Humans to normalize seeking support, to rethink the outdated therapy model, and to open up the conversation about getting to okay. 

An honest conversation with Heather's friend and Drybar founder Alli Webb on letting their kids pursue the life they want, navigating relationships in a blended family, and trying just about anything to get rid of anxiety (psychedelics included). Plus, hear all about Alli's new business venture Okay Humans and how it's revolutionizing the therapy experience.

Alli Webb is a powerhouse. There's no two ways around it. This is an interview I dreamt of for some time, and I couldn't be more elated to bring it to the feed this week. For episode 166, Alli and I chat about the why and how: Why she cared so deeply about building a concept that revolved around self-care, and how she made it happen from the ground up. We also talk about the challenges that came hand-in-hand with her divorce, and what it's like building (still!) with her ex-husband. Plus: the hype behind her newest ventures including Okay Humans, Beckett & Quill, and the Girlfiends & Business podcast. Plus: Endless career advice, how she pivoted during COVID, and what it means to be Alli 2.0.
