The Light Switch Came Back On: Laura Watkins on Depression, Recovery & Becoming Mental Girl (opens the original)

Heather sits down with Laura Watkins — hairdresser, salon owner, Aveda educator, and the voice behind Mental Girl — for a conversation that starts with a simple, disarming line: "They probably wouldn't guess that I'm mentally ill."

Shelbie built her salon into "the bougiest in Butler County," but the real gold in this episode is what's underneath the glow: the burnout that nearly broke her, the weekly budgeting system (yes, 12 checking accounts) that transformed her finances and bought her first rental property, and the six daily "pillars" that keep her from running on empty.

Read excerpt
Shelby Bills started at the front desk of Graeber & Company at 19 with a marketing degree and zero salon background. By 25, she'd bought out her boss.
