I can't wait for you to meet my friends Laura Goodwin and Heather Gray! They are Boss Babes and new business owners who are bringing health and wellness opportunities to South Atlanta. They both grew up in families where their parents were business owners. They gleaned some wisdom from that experience, but they have learned some pretty great things on their own journey as well. In this episode, we talk about how they manage family, faith, fitness, and business so well. We talk about how they met and started a Spin Club. (hint: They jumped in pretty fast after they took their FIRST spin class ever!) If you have thought about starting your own business, beginning your own health journey, switching up your current routine, or even wondered how to order your priorities then you will love this episode. In this episode, we will take a peek inside The Spin Club and watch me do two of their wellness treatments (a foot detox treatment and an infrared sauna treatment). Keep watching to find out who may or may not have a hairless cat and learn of the girls' most embarrassing moments at The Spin Club.
