We had the good fortune of connecting with Lindsay Hatley and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Lindsay, how has your perspective on work-life balance evolved over time?
As a single mother of three boys, work life balance is an absolute necessity. When I decided to start my own business, Hush MedSpa, I made a promise to myself that I would remain as involved, present, and available for my children as I always have been. I also knew that starting my own business so that I could be my own boss was essential for the stability of my children as a was starting the process of divorce. My presence and affection would be very important for this emotional transition for my boys. My previous career was in the hospital as a Neonatal Nurse Practitioner, working only 7 (24 hour) shifts a month. This was a perfect work life balance for a mother with small, young children. I was home 24 days of the month and able to drop off and pick up the boys from school, take them to and from practice, and never missed any of their games. I was present for all the school parties, events, awards, surprise lunch dates, play dates, you name it I was there. As I started the divorce process, I knew that working overnight shifts was not going to be an option. So I made the very scary, and challenging decision to change careers for the betterment of our future. Starting my career as an Aesthetic Nurse Practitioner was a very difficult, challenging, satisfying, and exciting journey. I first sought after several of the best injectors to train with. I spent countless hours, and money, perfecting my injection skills and consultation planning. I even flew all the way to Norway to train with Julie Horne for her amazing lip technique! Even more challenging was learning how to train myself to have work life balance as a business owner. I was very diligent about setting a schedule. I am very detailed with this schedule to include my boys activities, working out, meal planning, family fun time, downtime, and business hours. If it is not on my schedule, it is simply not happening that particular week. I can not count how many times friends and colleagues have commented “I don’t know how you do it all”? And the answer is simple, I was not willing to take time away from my boys in order to become a successful business owner. Even more simply put, it HAD to work in favor of my boys. They are my priority, they are my purpose, they are my joy. I am extremely thankful that my business has allowed me the flexibility to create the life I always dreamed of.

Any great local spots you’d like to shoutout?
Frisco is a fun, family oriented city. I enjoy going out to eat at one of the many restaurants at The Star. I will often take my boys and let them play football on the turf field after dinner. I also enjoy traveling down to Dallas and taking a trolley ride through the city, throwing the football at Klyde Warren Park, and grabbing a bite to eat at Mi Cocina in Uptown. Most of my free time is spent with my boys fishing, riding bikes, playing at the park, and eating our favorite crab legs from Shell Shack in Plano.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
Shelby Miller with RUMA Aesthetics in Utah has been a tremendous help in my success. She is a very gifted injector, with a brilliant business mind. She has trained me numerous times on injection techniques. I am even more thankful for her mentorship. Shelby has guided me in learning to become a successful business owner. You are a combination of the 5 people you spend most of your time around, and she is definitely someone I look up to!
