The GrandValli Experience Has Begun!

The GrandValli Experience is officially here! Our very first podcast episode just dropped, and I had the absolute honor of sitting down with Lena Pyland, the owner of Lavish Braids Hair Lounge in Grand Junction, CO.

Lena isn’t just an incredible braider—she has a gift for transforming the entire experience of getting your hair done. You walk into her chair as one version of yourself, just looking for a fresh style, and you leave feeling like a whole new person.

I won’t lie—this was nerve-wracking! I’ve never done a podcast before, and even though I consider myself a decent conversationalist, having cameras in front of me and wanting to create something truly special was intimidating. But we did it, and I couldn’t be more excited to share it with you.

Take a listen and let us know what you think!

A little behind-the-scenes moment for you: I asked Lena what three songs are really speaking to her right now, and she shared these gems:

🎶 Not One of Them – Nija
🎶 Fly – Nicki Minaj & Rihanna
🎶 She Works Hard for the Money – Donna Summer

Maybe one (or all) of these resonate with you too? No judgment—we all have songs that reflect who we are in this moment.

That’s what The GrandValli Experience is all about: embracing your story, your journey, and finding the value in every part of it.

Check out our first episode and join us on this ride!
