If you hate selling salon retail, this episode is for you.

Because what my guest is sharing doesn’t involve spending $12,000 on a grand opening order, there’s no stock sitting on a shelf for a year, and zero pushy pitching at the basin.

My guest is Victoria Domazet, founder of Digital Salon Retail.

Vic is a hairdresser of 23 years, a home salon owner, and a three-time AHFA Australian Hair Educator of the Year finalist.

She also calls herself the worst at selling retail - until one day she sends a client an affiliate link for a hairdryer. She doesn't even remember doing it. Yet soon she has a $40 credit in her account, and that moment flipped everything she thought she knew about salon retail.

Vic explains how affiliate marketing for hairdressers works and why traditional retail shuts out independent hairstylists and home salons.

She also shows why the product link or screenshot you send a client is a paid job. We unpack the fear of being salesy, the money stories behind it, and why Vic now talks about retail more than ever.

If you're an independent hairstylist, home salon owner, or salon owner who wants to earn from your expertise without more hours behind the chair, hit play now.

I’ve spent 6-figures, sold two cars and an investment property, and been stabbed in the guts twice a day for weeks on end.

This is the episode where I finally tell you what IVF actually involves.

I explain how an egg retrieval cycle works, why my ovaries swelled from three centimetres to fifteen, what a frozen embryo transfer really involves, and how our little boy came from the worst cycle we have ever done. My doctor nearly cancelled it twice.

I also break down the true cost of IVF in Australia, what Medicare and private health do and do not cover, and why we sold so much to make this happen. You’ll hear about Cam's role in the process, how our scientist inseminates the eggs, and how a miscarriage led me to take a 14 month break for my mental health before trying again.

Plus the moment we heard a heartbeat for the very first time.

If you are starting IVF, sitting in the two week wait, or supporting someone who is, press play and hear what infertility treatment really looks like.

"Just relax." "Have you tried fish oil?" "At least you can get pregnant". Every single comment in this episode was actually said to me during my IVF journey.

I’m sharing my IVF journey in a three-part series, and this week is the one your friends need you to hear. I go through the real things people have said to me while I'm mid-cycle, mid-miscarriage, and mid-life. I explain why each one lands like a brick and what to say instead.

I also share the list of everything we've actually tried, from acupuncture and 64 supplements to genetic testing and specialty fertility drugs.

That list exists so you understand why "have you tried X, Y, or Z" is the wrong question. I talk about the 196 needles in two months, the car I sold to pay for a cycle, and why nobody goes through this by choice.

Whether you're supporting someone through fertility treatment or living it yourself, press play.


Tune in to hear about:

💜 Why people deep in IVF rarely have the capacity to ask for help (and one question that can help)

💜 The exact lines I use to shut down a conversation… use these if you’re struggling

💜 Why unsolicited advice hurts most in the exact moment people think it helps

💜 A 4-year list of therapies, tests, and treatments I’ve tried

💜 The counterintuitive yet kind gesture from a near stranger that other people need to model
