Jennifer Boutwell- Healing After Trauma, Rebuilding Confidence & Finding Peace

Jennifer Boutwell- Healing After Trauma, Rebuilding Confidence & Finding Peace

Author: Follow on IG @hairdustry November 3, 2025 Duration: 51:39

Guest: Jennifer Boutwell — salon owner, industry leader, consultant, and author of I See You: A Guide to Finding Your Inner Strength, Confidence, and Voice after Trauma and Abuse (Gretna, LA). She spent 30 years behind the chair before stepping into full-time entrepreneurship and consulting. She’s also a proud mom to Conner & Bryson (and furbaby Cooper).
From a mall salon start to owning Salon Sanity, from a Redken makeover to paying off IRS debt in a year, Jennifer opens up about rebuilding with structure, healing after loss, and writing a book to help others move from trauma to true self-worth. We dig into NLP, morning rituals, meditation, gardening, and the power of “white space” in your calendar.

  • Origin story: Gretna roots → Foxy Lady with Grandma → Regis → owning her own salon

  • Rebrand & rebirth: why she dropped the founder’s name and created Salon Sanity — a calm space in an insane world

  • Summit shift: systems, accountability, and paying off debt fast

  • Healing & the book: losing her sister Gabrielle, confronting childhood trauma, and transforming pain into purpose

  • NLP & self-awareness: spotting blind spots, rewriting patterns

  • Presence & surrender: rituals, nature, and saying no to misalignment

  • Leadership & legacy: empowering others to rediscover voice & confidence
