Overthinking, Pivoting & Pivoting Again: A Real Talk Episode with Carly Zanoni @the.blonde.chronicles

Published on: 15th December, 2025

Misty sits down with Carly Zanoni @the.blonde.cronicles, the educator and stylist behind The Blonde Chronicles University, to talk about what hairstylists really want to know: how to start before you're ready, how to grow without losing yourself, and how to build something meaningful even when everything feels messy.

Carly shares how she launched a digital education platform during shutdowns, why “doing it scared” is so important, and how simplifying your color placement (and your self-talk) can change everything behind the chair.

If you're a hairstylist or salon owner navigating growth, perfectionism, burnout, or the pivot into education — this episode is like a permission slip and a pep talk wrapped together.
