Do I stay or do I go

In this heartfelt episode of DTH The Podcast, Cyd and David dive into a listener's dilemma about whether to stay in a small rural town or return to the bustling city life of Los Angeles. Our listener, originally from LA, has faced cultural differences and received negative feedback in their current commission salon, leading to doubts about their professional judgment and overall confidence. Cyd and David explore the complexities of discrimination in both small towns and big cities, the importance of sticking to one's professional expertise, and the potential benefits of becoming a "big fish in a small pond." They discuss the pros and cons of returning to LA, emphasizing the value of creating inclusive and welcoming spaces, even in the face of adversity. The hosts also provide valuable advice on handling negative reviews, leveraging constructive feedback, and considering alternative salon environments. They encourage the listener to assess their core reasons for moving and to consider opening their own salon as a way to foster a safer, more supportive space for both clients and professionals. Listeners looking for resources on creating inclusive environments are directed to Dress Code Project and Texture vs. Race.
