In this episode of Ghetto CEO, Candace Holyfield—better known as The Six Figure Spa Chick—opens up about the pain, pressure, and power behind building a million-dollar movement in the spa industry.
From losing over $1 million and her entire team of 7 years, to rebuilding her brand from the ground up, Candace shares how she navigated grief, betrayal, burnout, and the weight of being "the strong one" in every room. She talks candidly about therapy, trust issues, healing, and what it really takes to build a legacy while breaking down in silence.
This is not just a story about spa success—it's about surviving personal loss, rebuilding a movement, and redefining what rest, trust, and leadership look like for high-achieving Black women.
If you're a beauty entrepreneur, a service-based CEO, or a visionary who’s ever had to lead while secretly falling apart—this episode is for you.
