In this episode I'm joined by Jess to talk all about fitness and health as a nail tech, and how she fits it into her busy diary.
From setting boundaries to eating peperamis, Jess is full of helpful advice for those of you looking to incorporate wellness into your life when you're in a job that doesn't always go hand in hand with work/life balance.
We also solve a dilemma from someone who's client likes to wear sweaty gym gloves to her appointments… we say fire her! (as always…)
