Working with the Energy in Your Business (and Yourself)

If you own a wellness clinic, salon, or health center, I’m going to bet that, most days, it feels like your business is running YOU, instead of the other way around.

You went from being an incredible practitioner to a business owner, and suddenly, everything changed. Instead of focusing on your craft, you’re stressing over money, operations, and whether things will fall apart when you’re not there.

The Business Flow Formula is here to help you regain control with practical solutions and real strategies. Each episode, I’ll show you how to create consistent revenue, build a team you trust, and streamline your operations, so your business feels less like chaos and more like… flow.

I’m Erika Dowell, a business operations expert who’s been in the trenches with businesses like yours. I’ve helped so many owners turn overwhelm into clarity, chaos into systems, and stress into ease, and now I want to help you. That’s why I created this podcast.

The Business Flow Formula isn’t about vague ideas—it’s packed with real-world advice, actionable strategies, and stories from owners in the health and beauty space who’ve made it to the other side.

I know you make people feel good every day. Now, let’s make your business feel good to YOU.
