Bloom or Bust? Julie and MaryAnn are diving into the wild world of fall trends—from pumpkin spice love vs. hate, to beef tallow as skincare (yep, you read that right), and why infrared panels might just be the next wellness must-have. They dish on Netflix documentaries, root for Charlie Sheen, and test their knowledge of Gen Z slang (spoiler: Julie’s grandson calls her “bruh”). It’s a cozy, hilarious, and slightly sendy ride through what’s hot, what’s not, and what’s just plain confusing.

In this episode of the SpaHive Business Besties podcast, Julie and MaryAnn reflect on where they were on September 11th and how those experiences shaped their perspectives. From there, they pivot into the power of resetting, refocusing, and recharging as fall begins—because Q4 is your chance to finish strong. They share why October (not January!) is the best time to set realistic goals, and they introduce a brand-new SpaHive challenge designed to help you hit refresh on your business and life before the year ends. Expect inspiration, honesty, and of course, a little bestie banter along the way.

In this episode of the SpaHive Podcast, Julie and MaryAnn dive into the power of quiet transformation. Not every breakthrough comes with fireworks—and that’s okay. From setting subtle boundaries to showing up with quiet consistency, they unpack the beauty in the slow burn. Tune in as they challenge the myth that transformation has to be loud or Insta-worthy, and invite you to embrace the waiting season as a space for deep growth, grounded shifts, and self-permission to evolve—on your own terms.
