Dear Dangerously in Love with Finance,
I own a medical spa. We have a solid team and good systems in place. But the holidays hit different. Everyone’s working overtime, including me. My staff is stressed, clients are demanding, and even though we’re crushing it financially, the energy is off.
I preach wellness to clients all day, but my team and I are burnt out. I can feel the tension in the office. People are short with each other, mistakes are happening, and I’m worried about retention. How do I keep the money flowing during peak season without my team resenting me or burning out by January?
Regards,

Dear Successful But Stretched Thin,
Your team can feel when you’re running on empty, even if the business is thriving. That’s what’s creating the tension, and it’s where financial management quietly starts. Burnout isn’t just emotional; it’s operational. When people are stretched too thin, mistakes multiply, efficiency drops, and profit follows.
In financial management for medical spas, leadership isn’t just about tracking numbers. It’s about managing the energy behind them. People don’t quit jobs because they’re busy.
They quit because they feel unsupported during busy times.
Do three things.
The money will still be there in January. But burned-out staff won’t be, and no amount of strategy or systems can fix a culture that’s exhausted.
🍃 Mindful Thoughts
Leadership in wellness isn’t about squeezing more revenue from a busy season. It’s about protecting the people who help you earn it. When you lead with balance, both your team and your bottom line stay healthy.
Treating your team as a long-term asset, not a short-term expense, is the single most profitable shift you can make. It’s the difference between a one-time cash grab and a sustainably successful practice.
Lots of Love, Coffee and Chocolate,
Dangerously in Love with Finance and the HBoF Family
