💕 Girls Night Out for FOGH 💕
We were honored to host a special Girls Night Out for Friends of Guest House (FOGH) residents—a beautiful evening filled with laughter, connection, and care. Big thank you to everyone who made it possible.
🧠 Building a Culture of Support 🧠
We deepened our team culture with another powerful workshop by Nancy Belmont of Vessence. Together, we explored empathy, alignment, and how to flourish as creative professionals.
We also welcomed therapist Stephanie Fellenberg, who shared tools for mindful communication and trauma-informed care—empowering us to better support not just each other, but you, our guests.
Included Tools:
Self-Care Plan for Hairstylists
Scripts for Tricky Conversations
Trauma-Informed Language
Behind-the-Chair Mindfulness
👏 Celebrating Our People 👏
We’re bursting with pride—our amazing manager Lee was recognized by the Alexandria Chamber of Commerce’s 40 Under 40 awards as an inspiring young leader! Her heart, hustle, and dedication shine through everything we do.
