Collab with Gab Mon, 13 Apr 2026 16:38:14 -0400 https://www.buzzsprout.com/2558083 en-us © 2026 Collab with Gab yes 7ab3e3e2-4dcd-5eaf-9351-b820dce3475c Gabbie Travali episodic false Hi, I’m Gabbie, owner of Gavali Salon, mom of four, former workaholic, divorcee, double mastectomy survivor, and woman who has made every money and relationship mistake in the book… and still refuses to tap out.


Collab With Gab is my rebirth era in audio form. I talk real life and real business, not the filtered version. One week it might be salon stories, starting over, breast cancer, therapy, mom guilt, and moving for the 19th time. The next week it is how I grew my socials, how I help local businesses fill their events, and what I’d do if I had to build it all again from zero.


If you are a small business owner, creative, single parent, or just a human who feels like life has been a lot, you are in the right place. I share the stuff I wish someone told me at 18 when I was pregnant, dropped out of high school, and decided to build a life my kids could be proud of.


On this podcast you’ll hear me talk about:

  • Building and running a salon while raising kids and trying not to lose my mind
  • Collab With Gab behind the scenes, helping local businesses with content and events
  • Money wins, money mistakes, debt, and fixing your relationship with cash
  • Health scares, surgery, recovery, and taking care of your body after you ignored it
  • Boundaries, friendships, dating when I feel like it, and putting yourself first for once


There will be laughs, probably some tears, and a lot of “ok, here is what I learned so you don’t have to screw this up like I did.”


If you want to feel less alone, grow your business, or you are thinking “I need a reset and I don’t know where to start,” hit play.


Follow me, the salon, and Collab With Gab on Instagram, and if you want to work together or have your business featured, send me a message and let’s talk.

In this episode of Collab with Gab, I break down why change feels so uncomfortable, why things often fall apart right before they get better, and how growth usually starts with outgrowing people, places, routines, and even versions of yourself.

I share real stories from building and rebuilding my salon, losing people I loved, walking away from businesses, getting knocked down emotionally and physically, and learning the hard way that nothing thrives without attention, honesty, and presence.

We talk about why environment matters, why convenience sells, why being “good” isn’t enough in business anymore, and how repotting your life can feel messy, painful, and lonely before it finally starts to flourish.

If you feel stuck, burned out, disconnected, or like your life just doesn’t fit anymore, this episode is for you.

Growth isn’t pretty. But it’s worth it.
