SPA HIVE

The SpaHive Podcast is for spa owners, wellness entrepreneurs, hospitality leaders — and anyone building a business with heart and strategy.

Hosted by 7-Figure Spa Consultant Julie Pankey and co-host MaryAnn Sessine, this show delivers real spa business strategy, marketing insight, revenue growth tactics, team development tools, and honest conversations about leadership, burnout, mindset, and sustainable success.

No quick fixes. No fluff. Just practical systems, profitability strategies, and unfiltered conversations about what it really takes to grow in business — and in life.

This week on the SpaHive Business Bestie podcast, Julie and MaryAnn are calling out hustle culture for what it really is: sneaky, seductive, and downright exhausting. From tying our worth to productivity to chasing burnout in the name of ambition, they’re getting real about the red flags we’ve all ignored. Tune in as they unpack their own work identity wake-up calls, share what balance actually looks like, and offer a gentle reminder: your success doesn’t have to come at the cost of your sanity. It’s time to trade the grind for joy, rest, and intention. Comments, Questions, or Podcast Ideas? Email julie@jmpankey.com

Julie and MaryAnn are getting real about marketing missteps. From cringe-worthy campaigns (yes, we’ve made a few) to branding blunders you can learn from, we’re unpacking what not to do—and how to bounce back better. We’re talking audience, messaging, and why focusing on benefits beats buzzwords every time. Tune in for honest laughs, lessons, and a reminder that every flop is just feedback.
