Have you ever felt like the weight of your business rests entirely on your shoulders? What if I told you that true success doesn’t come from doing it all on your own? What if the key to thriving actually lies in something that comes naturally to us as women—the power of community?

In this episode of Common Wealth Conversations, we’re diving deep into how you can start, nurture, and grow a thriving community that resonates with your brand and values. Whether you're just getting started or looking to elevate your community, I’ll be answering four key questions I’ve been asked recently as a consultant supporting other brands in building a thriving community. I’ll also share three actionable steps for each question to help you get started, wherever you’re at in your business.

• How do I build a community that aligns with my brand's mission and values?

• What are some approachable strategies to keep my community active and growing?

• How can I balance managing a community while juggling my other responsibilities?

• How can I reach long-term success through the power of community?

Have you ever felt like your body is telling you something, but you're just not sure how to listen? Or maybe you’ve been struggling to find the balance between pushing forward in your business and giving yourself the rest you need?

In this episode of Common Wealth Conversations, we have a special guest, Melissa Azevedo, an energy healing hairstylist who owns a small studio focused on holistic beauty and wellness— making people feel good from the inside out and she's also one of our cohort alumni. She’s here to share her journey of how her business has evolved, especially during the challenges of the pandemic.

Melissa’s story is one of growth, resilience, and the powerful combination of self-healing and energy work. In our conversation, she shares how she’s learned to trust her body’s signals and the transformative impact of integrating practices like Reiki into her salon services. We talk about the importance of rest—especially for women—and how creating a grounded space, both physically and energetically, has become a cornerstone of her approach.

Melissa is a standout participant from a previous Common Wealth ‘Peer to Peer’ cohort program, having developed her business through our coaching container. In this program, I focus on networking and relationship building, and I bring in guest experts to share their knowledge on business education tailored to our group's needs. This cohort program can help you launch your IDEA & set the stage for expanding a new revenue stream into 2025!

In this episode of Common Wealth Conversations, I’m sharing some key takeaways from the Beauty Biz Brunch, hosted by Brandi Taylor. She is a coach and the host of the Beauty Biz Network Podcast. The event was held at Marlo Beauty Studios locally for me, here in Metro Detroit. This experience was both eye-opening and inspiring.

In this episode, we’re going to talk about the importance of community and its role in business. At the Beauty Biz Brunch, there was so much talk about the power of community: how a well-nurtured community can fill in the gap in your marketing strategy to attract dream clients, the impact of connecting with like-minded professionals, and working with aligned brands to drive and diversify revenue.

I’m bringing some of the practical advice I shared as a keynote speaker on how to build meaningful relationships and leverage your network to support and grow your business initiatives into this episode.
