You guys… THIS conversation is a reminder that your past doesn’t get to dictate your future.
I sat down with my girl Tara Dominguez, and let me just say—she’s one of those women whose story gives you chills and motivation all in one.
Tara is proof that where you start doesn’t define where you’re going. She was a small-town girl who almost didn’t graduate high school, went to beauty school right after, and packed up for LA to chase her dreams. Yes, she assisted on Nip/Tuck (like what?!)—but her real glow-up began back at a JCPenney salon, where she would literally sit in the break room googling the PRESIDENT of the company while sipping burnt coffee… because she knew she was meant for more.
Fast forward a few years—and she’s the owner of a 4,000 sq. ft. salon, has built a multiple 7-figure business, and is now launching her own podcast. But don’t get it twisted—Tara is not here to share just the highlight reel.
We talked about:

• What really goes into growing a profitable salon (and what no one tells you)
• Why chasing perfection is killing your authenticity
• Building something sustainable as a mom, a fiancée, and an evolving woman
• Knowing when it’s time to pivot—even when it’s scary
• And how to stop giving so much that you’re left with nothing

Tara’s got stories, y’all. The wins and the “WTF just happened” moments. Like when she thought her car got stolen—but it was just… repossessed. 🙃 She’s real, honest, and on a mission to help other women build brands, businesses, and lives that actually feel aligned.
This one’s for anyone who's outgrowing their current season but doesn’t know what’s next. For the woman who’s tired of starting over. For the salon owner who’s burned out from doing all the things.
Tara’s message is clear: confidence changes everything.
