In today’s episode you’ll here my first ever conversation with not one, but TWO interview guests! As we discuss everything from their coffee shop obsession to building their dream business from the ground up.
Becki and Emily met a few years back when Emily began regularly attending Becki’s barre classes! I also had the opportunity to take Becki’s classes while home for the holidays in New Hampshire. I really enjoyed her classes – they were fun, and SO different from what I usually do! I remember loving how much more aligned I felt after.
Becki successfully owned and managed her own private barre studio. While Emily ran her own business as a hair stylist & makeup artist. With their like-minded girl-boss mentality it’s no surprise the duo quickly became friends. A little over a year ago they decided to join forces and start a new venture to create a place that blended both their strengths. The vision for LOCAL Beauty Barre was born.It was to be a full service Salon and Spa as well as a Boutique Fitness Center offering Barre, Yoga, Mat Pilates, TRX & Pilates Reformer Classes – combining the best of both their worlds!
In this episode the girls discuss the many obstacles they faced. And how they stayed SO positive in times of doubt. And the strength they have found in each other to take this daring leap.
From working alongside their electricians, assisting with HVAC piping installation, light fixtures, selecting tile and handmade touches sourced from local vendors. These girls are the real deal; pulling long hours, hands dirty, knee deep in constructing their dream. I have no doubt you will be absolutely captivated by their bubbling energy & excitement as they share their journey to making their dream a reality.
And of course we would love to hear you say HI to us on social media while you listen:
