Why Self-Care Isn't Selfish | Gara Post, Co-Founder of The NOW Massage

What if taking care of yourself wasn't a luxury—but a necessity? This week on What She's Having, Jennifer and Britney sit down with Gara Post, co-founder of The NOW Massage, to talk about building one of the fastest-growing wellness brands in the country and why making time for yourself may be the most important investment you'll ever make. Gara shares the incredible journey from launching a successful jewelry company to creating a massage experience that feels like a vacation without leaving your neighborhood. She opens up about entrepreneurship, franchising during the pandemic, working alongside her husband, raising teenagers, and why women often struggle to prioritize themselves. Jennifer and Britney also share their first experience at The NOW Massage—and why it completely changed the way they think about self-care. In this episode you'll learn: • How Gara built The NOW Massage into nearly 90 locations nationwide • Why affordable luxury became the foundation of the brand • The biggest lessons from franchising during COVID • Why massage is more than relaxation—it's mental wellness • The guilt many women feel when investing in themselves • How to balance motherhood, marriage, and entrepreneurship • Gara's daily wellness routine for staying grounded • The importance of flexibility in business and life • Why putting your phone down may be today's greatest luxury • Gara's answer to "What are you having more of?" and "less of?" If you've ever felt guilty taking time for yourself, this conversation is your reminder that caring for yourself allows you to show up better for everyone else. <div class= "text-base my-auto mx-auto [--thread-content-margin:var(--thread-content-margin-xs,calc(var(--spacing)*4))] @w-sm/main:[--thread-content-margin:var(--thread-content-margin-sm,calc(var(--spacing)*6))] @w-lg/main:[--thread-content-margin:var(--thread-content-margin-lg,calc(var(--spacing)*16))] px-(--thread-content-margin)"> <div class= "[--thread-content-max-width:40rem] @w-lg/main:[--thread-content-max-width:48rem] mx-auto max-w-(--thread-content-max-width) flex-1 group/turn-messages focus-visible:outline-hidden relative flex w-full min-w-0 flex-col agent-turn" data-conversation-screenshot-content=""> <div class="flex max-w-full flex-col gap-4 grow"> <div class= "min-h-8 text-message relative flex w-full flex-col items-end gap-2 text-start break-words whitespace-normal outline-none keyboard-focused:focus-ring [.text-message+&]:mt-1" dir="auto" data-message-author-role="assistant" data-message-id= "b8e44576-9982-41d2-ac1d-7ca7e3dc98c2" data-message-model-slug= "gpt-5-5"> <div class="flex w-full flex-col gap-1 empty:hidden"> <div class= "markdown prose dark:prose-invert wrap-break-word w-full dark markdown-new-styling"> <h1 class="PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer" data-section-id= "qq1pyz" data-start="3141" data-end="3153">Timestamps</h1> <ul data-start="3155" data-end="4243"> <li data-section-id="1ags32t" data-start="3155" data-end="3215"> 00:00 Meet Garrett Post, co-founder of The NOW Massage</li> <li data-section-id="16zwy0g" data-start="3216" data-end="3260"> 01:00 Cleansing energy with Palo Santo</li> <li data-section-id="1l5xq27" data-start="3261" data-end="3328"> 03:35 Garrett's journey from fashion designer to entrepreneur</li> <li data-section-id="1xlrfdv" data-start="3329" data-end="3379"> 07:10 The inspiration behind The NOW Massage</li> <li data-section-id="1248qys" data-start="3380" data-end="3424"> 10:00 Opening the first four locations</li> <li data-section-id="17836we" data-start="3425" data-end="3462"> 13:30 The decision to franchise</li> <li data-section-id="py16tj" data-start="3463" data-end="3524"> 15:45 Surviving the pandemic while growing the business</li> <li data-section-id="kpzd1t" data-start="3525" data-end="3578"> 17:05 Scaling to nearly 90 locations nationwide</li> <li data-section-id="1h3pjpl" data-start="3579" data-end="3650"> 20:50 Jennifer & Britney share their first NOW Massage experience</li> <li data-section-id="fplee8" data-start="3651" data-end="3717"> 24:30 Why massage should become part of your monthly routine</li> <li data-section-id="14k2hq9" data-start="3718" data-end="3773"> 28:55 Why women struggle to prioritize themselves</li> <li data-section-id="41ok0r" data-start="3774" data-end="3821"> 31:15 The future of the wellness industry</li> <li data-section-id="ju8abq" data-start="3822" data-end="3868"> 36:00 Parenting, technology & letting go</li> <li data-section-id="hvtobh" data-start="3869" data-end="3930"> 40:00 Balancing motherhood, marriage & entrepreneurship</li> <li data-section-id="d8svt4" data-start="3931" data-end="3979"> 41:30 Working with your spouse in business</li> <li data-section-id="1oqzvf5" data-start="3980" data-end="4023"> 44:45 What's next for The NOW Massage</li> <li data-section-id="j7ba7s" data-start="4024" data-end="4066"> 46:15 What Garrett is having less of</li> <li data-section-id="1tku80m" data-start="4067" data-end="4104"> 46:50 What she's having more of</li> <li data-section-id="9efh4e" data-start="4105" data-end="4148"> 48:00 One luxury she'll never give up</li> <li data-section-id="1l0th92" data-start="4149" data-end="4192"> 49:15 Naming this chapter of her life</li> <li data-section-id="1g9x65i" data-start="4193" data-end="4243"> 51:15 Final thoughts & where to find Garrett</li> </ul> This episode is a perfect reminder that wellness isn't about perfection—it's about creating small, intentional moments to reconnect with yourself. </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="z-0 flex min-h-[46px] justify-start"> </div> </div> <div class= "[--thread-content-max-width:40rem] @w-lg/main:[--thread-content-max-width:48rem] mx-auto max-w-(--thread-content-max-width) flex-1" data-conversation-screenshot-content=""> </div> </div> Follow Gara and learn more: Instagram: @thenowmassage Website: thenowmassage.com Sponsors 🌿 Leaf & Flower Healthy hair starts with a healthy scalp.
