Some friendships are sparked in the most unexpected ways. For me and my dear friend Kayla Caudill, it began with a simple cold call when she stopped into my salon and spa, Delicate Balance, as a skincare rep. What started as a business interaction quickly grew into a friendship that has carried us through years of change, transitions, and new beginnings.

In this conversation, Kayla, now the CEO of Safety Leadership Innovators (SLI), and I reflect on how our paths have crossed and supported one another. From me buying her skincare products, to her helping me in business, to me guiding her to step outside her comfort zone, our story is a testament to the power of connection and growth.

Kayla shares how, through her own courage and willingness to try new things, she chose to take the leap into health coaching. That step not only transformed her personally, but also gave her the tools to support her husband’s business in the safety industry.

We talk about life shifts, closing my salon, her moves, marriage, and motherhood, and the ways friendship can endure despite change. This episode is all about balance, staying open to new perspectives, and cherishing the kind of friendships that stand the test of time.

Whether you are an entrepreneur, a dreamer, or someone navigating life’s transitions, I hope this story encourages you to honor the delicate balance of friendship and growth.
