In this episode, I sit down with Gara Post, the visionary founder of The NOW massage boutiques — you’ve seen them, you’ve smelled the signature scent, maybe you’ve even had the pleasure of experiencing a massage there yourself. But beyond the aesthetics and genius of the brand, Gara and I go deep on what it actually takes to build an empire with integrity — all while raising a family, navigating marriage, and doing the inner work. We talk about:• Her personal evolution from jewelry designer to wellness entrepreneur• The power of therapy, mindfulness, and daily rituals• Running a business with your spouse — and staying married!• The art of scaling without sacrificing brand integrity• The healing potential of touch, and why self-care isn’t a luxury — it’s a necessity Plus, Gara shares what keeps her grounded, how she’s teaching her kids emotional intelligence, and why living in the NOW is more than just a brand — it’s a way of life.
