On this episode of the Sola Stories Podcast, we are joined by Face of Sola Serina Battaglini! Serina’s journey is both unique and relatable and she’s here - all the way from Ontario, Canada - to share it all with us. From a young age, she knew what she wanted to do but over time she discovered that what was holding her back was her inability to trust the process. Once she determined that she was the one standing in her own way, she took that leap of faith, and joined us in what she describes as the place she’s meant to be.
Listen now to hear more about Serina’s journey and her advice on trusting the process, whatever that may look like. No matter what step you are at in your salon ownership journey - even if you have yet to take the first step - Sola is there for you and Serina’s story is proof that you can find where you are meant to shine.
