Erin shares how she stopped apologizing for putting herself first after her mom's death and having a newborn.

This episode of "What Gives" features host Erin in conversation with Logan Hines, the owner and president of Mitchell's Salon and Day Spa. The discussion centers on Logan's personal journey and her philosophy of self-care as a foundation for leadership and philanthropy. Logan shares how her experiences following her mother's passing and as a new mother shaped her perspective. Logan explains that after her mother died and her youngest child was three months old, she felt overwhelmed and needed to rediscover herself. She emphasizes that feeling good and being your best self is essential to showing up fully in life. Logan argues that people often prioritize being selfless without recognizing the need for self-care first. The salon itself serves as a modern meeting space, with clients often working on laptops during hair processing. Logan notes that the environment can foster greater mental clarity and efficiency than a traditional office. She describes leaving the salon ready to tackle subsequent meetings. A key insight is Logan's decision to stop apologizing for prioritizing herself, framing self-care as a prerequisite for caring for others who rely on her. The salon's location near Lytle Park in downtown Cincinnati adds to its appeal as a destination for both beauty services and socializing. The host, Erin, shares a personal anecdote about getting manicures and pedicures at Mitchell's with her female financial advisor. Logan observes that business meetings at the salon have become a new norm, blending productivity with personal care. The tone is conversational and reflective, blending personal narrative with practical business observations. The style is informal and engaging, marked by shared laughter and relatable anecdotes. Listeners interested in entrepreneurship, work-life balance, and the intersection of personal well-being with professional success would enjoy this episode. Those seeking a highly structured debate or data-driven analysis of philanthropy might find it less aligned with their interests.
