From full time step mom to serial entrepreneur and how she juggles it all. My interview with ASTP founder and owner of Recreating Rays Spray Tanning Studio, Shonna Dexter.

Work/ Life balance as a mama in the beauty industry, does it exist and if so what does it look like? My guest Shonna Dexter; owner of Recreating Rays Spray Tanning Studio & ASTP founder, shares how she started a side hustle to help pay for college for her step children, and turned it into a booming business. In this interview she openly discusses what being a full time step mom looks like for her, how she started the first sunless tanning studio in her city of Olathe, Kansas and how the desire for connection allowed her to grow the Association of Sunless Tanning Professionals (ASTP) and create the Sunless Summit. She also talks about how the connection she made with a former competitor, turned RR studio manager, was a saving grace and why she stresses the importance of self care. Shonna discusses why moms in the beauty industry need to put themselves first and explains whether she considers the notion of "work/ life balance" to be a reality. Sit back and relax, I know you're going to love this interview! Enjoy.
