  Money, Time or Freedom? A Would You Rather Game

  Aug 21, 202635 min

  Would you rather have twice the revenue or work half the hours? In this episode of the SpaHive Podcast, we explore decision making in business, entrepreneurship, and everyday life through a fast-paced game of Would You Rather. From spa ownership and team building to time management, revenue growth, and work-life balance, we challenge each other to choose between the trade-offs that every business owner faces. The rule is simple: no “it depends.” Just clear decisions, real opinions, and honest insight into how we think about scaling a business, building a team, and designing a life you actually want.

  Are You Actually Good at Making Decisions?

  Aug 14, 202646 min

  Why can we make some of life's biggest decisions in minutes...but spend 45 minutes deciding where to eat? This week on the SpaHive Podcast, Julie and MaryAnn are talking decision making: the things they decide instantly, the ridiculously small choices they overthink, gut instinct vs. research, decision fatigue, and why having MORE options may actually make it harder to choose. Plus, Julie and MaryAnn put their own decision-making styles to the test and unpack the famous "jam study" on choice overload — and what it can teach us about business, spa menus, parenting and everyday life. Are you a fast decision maker, an overthinker...or somehow both? Check out Julie Pankey’s Leadership must read list! https://a.co/d/06O7OCfq

  Glass Skin, Bed Rotting & Fisherman Fashion... We're Rating Them All

  Jul 31, 202619 min

  Every week there's another beauty, wellness, or lifestyle trend taking over social media... but are any of them actually worth trying? In this fun episode of SpaHive, Julie Pankey and MaryAnn rate today's biggest viral trends using one simple system: Buy It, Borrow It, or Leave It. From Glass Skin facials and Fisherman Aesthetic fashion to Bed Rotting, eco friendly salon hair recycling, and some very questionable "nervous system wellness" products, nothing is off limits. You'll laugh, probably disagree with us a few times, and maybe even discover a trend worth trying yourself. Whether you're a spa professional, business owner, or just someone who enjoys keeping up with internet culture, this episode is packed with opinions, laughs, and plenty of "wait... that's actually a thing?" moments.

  Jul 27, 202640 min

  The days are long... but somehow summer still flies by. This week on the SpaHive Podcast, Julie and MaryAnn are checking in halfway through summer and asking a simple question: Are you tired... or fulfilled? From spontaneous adventures and sunrise hikes to pumpkin spice debates and boat trips, the conversation explores why some days leave us energized while others leave us completely drained. They also unpack fascinating research on why trying something new changes how our brains experience time and why novelty can actually make life feel fuller.
