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

Hi Kedrin, how has your work-life balance changed over time?
Work life balance is something I have always struggled with! My career was my baby for a long time and I would put just about anything else second to it. But now that I actually have a baby, it’s more important to find the balance. When I can’t find it, I have to create it! I’ve found in the short time being a mom, that I’m a better person in all areas when the life balance is present. You can’t pour from an empty cup.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
The Artistry, An Aesthetics House is a luxury studio for entrepreneurs in the beauty and wellness space. With limited rooms for rent, the space is exclusive to professionals who are passionate about enhancing clients’ natural beauty. When I found this building I could see The Artistry in it right away. It was a complete remodel, but seeing something I envisioned since I was in beauty school come to life has been so rewarding. The hardest part was going through the planning and permitting process pregnant, only to start construction after my son was born! I couldn’t be as active in the build out that I wanted to be.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
I love to be outside and active so we could start our day walking McCabe. Then have a sauna and cold plunge session at Urban Sweat. Grab a few sandwiches just around the corner at 51st Deli, and then have dinner at Ophelia’s! We have some of the best live music in Nashville. Whether that be listening to locals at the bar or going to a show at The Ryman, music would definitely be incorporated.
The holiday season in Nashville is really special to me. I love the way the city lights up for Christmas. Opryland is a staple place I love taking visitors during the season!

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
So many people helped me along the way! From finding the building to choosing the light fixtures, The Artistry, An Aesthetics House would not be here today if it wasn’t for the team I built in the one and a half years it took to make this dream a reality! Both of my parents are entrepreneurs that owned a business together. Dedication and a strong work ethic was instilled in me at a young age. I grew up watching them work so hard, about something they are so passionate about. This business was born out of a desire to shift my focus from solely my clients to other women in the beauty industry wanting to grow their businesses. I am truly blessed to be able to make this vision a reality!
