Podcasts about studio owners

In this powerful episode of The Pilates Business Podcast, host Seran Glanfield challenges the traditional time management talk and dives deep into how studio owners can regain control of their time and energy. Instead of chasing productivity hacks and color-coded calendars, Seran explores the rhythms of life and business and how to align your schedule with what truly matters. From the burnout that comes with doing all the things to the real secret behind balance (spoiler: it's rhythm, not perfection), this episode is a must-listen for any boutique fitness business owner feeling overwhelmed, stretched too thin, or just plain exhausted. Discover how to protect your energy, set meaningful priorities, and delegate like a boss so you can build a Pilates studio (or yoga or barre business) that supports your life—not consumes it.Got a question for Seran?

Inspired by the game-changing book Necessary Endings by Dr. Henry Cloud, this episode is your gentle permission slip (with a healthy side of giggles) to lovingly let go of what's holding you back, so you can finally grow into what's possible.Through personal stories - including one particularly iconic performance by Michelle as a Munchkin (yep, we're still talking about it... and it's best to watch this episode on YouTube or the blog to really see why) - Chantelle and Michelle explore the uncomfortable, courageous, and deeply freeing work of pruning.Whether you're navigating tricky team dynamics, outgrown business habits, or relationships that just don't feel aligned anymore, this conversation meets you where you're at… and gently nudges you toward what's next.Because sometimes, growth doesn't come from adding more.It comes from bravely deciding what needs to end.You'll laugh, reflect, maybe wince in recognition, and walk away with practical strategies and soulful encouragement to help your studio - and your life - flourish with greater ease, clarity and intention.✨ Spoiler: You're allowed to want more. You're allowed to change. And you're strong enough to prune with purpose.Got a studio niggle right now? Leave us a voicemail, and we can help Solve Your Studio in one of our episodes.

Let's be honest - most studio owners didn't start their business to be behind a computer all day. You didn't step into this role to be buried in admin, putting out fires, or running from one urgent task to the next. You started because you love teaching. You love dance. You love mentoring and making an impact.But as the business grows, that passion often gets buried under responsibility. And I see it all the time. Studio owners who are incredible educators, full of vision - but they're stuck doing it all themselves, unsure how to step into a true leadership role without stepping away from the classroom.That's where AI comes in - not to replace you, but to support you................Want to join the Dance AI Membership?[CLICK HERE] to find out more

Send Mo a text about this episode!I met Donna when Kindred first opened its doors a few years ago- and I was honored to have the opportunity to teach a class in her space a few weeks ago. Kindred is ALSO the location for my upcoming retreat: Step Into Your Power in June 2025!I'm having Donna on the podcast because I love the community and space she is creating with intention. Her journey from being a teacher to starting her own business and having a studio is inspiring. It takes courage to follow your heart and take these risks. In this episode we talk about:-Her journey before starting the studio-What her spiritual awakening entailed and some of the experiences she was having that led her to her first Reiki session-A few of the biggest lessons shes had since started Kindred-The amazing array of offerings at Kindred-The non profit she's creating with a friend that will bring scholarship opportunities for people of color and the LGBTQ+ communityThe 411 on Donna:For as long as I can remember, I have always found helping others to be a rewarding experience. Early on, I felt the desire to be of service to others and discovered a joy, love, and ability to work with children. It was only natural to choose teaching as my lifelong career. I was a school teacher for 15+ years.Then, in the middle of life as a school teacher and married with 2 teenagers, I experienced a Spiritual Awakening. I realized I was denying a part of myself that I had been repressing since childhood as well as the understanding that I had a lot of healing to do. Early on in my awakening, I was drawn to working with energy and felt an additional calling, to assist in the healing of others. I made the decision to resign from teaching to pursue my healing practice full time and to eventually expand my private practice into Kindred Healing Space.  My goal with Kindred Healing Space is to create a healing and supportive community. I am a Reiki Master Teacher, Oracle Card Reader, Intuitive, Sound Bath Practitioner, and owner of Kindred Healing Space.Go follow Donna on Instagram and Facebook: IG: @donna.flows.reiki and @kindredhealingspaceFB: @kindredhealingspace Her website:https://www.kindredhealingspace.com/ and https://www.donnaflowsreiki.com/Do you have follow up questions?

What We Cover In This Episode: How identifying tasks that can be automated or delegated to free up your time is the very first step in achieving work-life balance as a studio owner [4:25] The importance of setting boundaries and clearly communicating them to staff and clients [6:57] What you can do as a studio owner right now to prioritize your self-care [12:00] How you can use available automation tools to begin working smarter, not harder [14:07] The way that delegating effectively and trusting your staff to make decisions will aid in this process [16:30] Why time-blocking is such a powerful strategy to use as a business owner [19:27] What you'll be able to achieve by unplugging regularly and fully stepping away from the studio [23:19] Some things you can do to continue investing in your personal development [24:31] Quotes:   “Trust your staff to manage the day-to-day operations without micromanaging. If you are going to tell your staff how to clean, even if they don't clean exactly like how you would clean, if they get the job 97 percent of the way done, just move on.” [Nick, 16:42] “Establish phone-free zones or hours to disconnect from work, emails, notifications, and plan regular days where you fully step away from the studio.” [Nick, 23:53] “Achieving work-life balance is not about doing it all, it's about doing what matters most. Remember, done is better than perfect. So, by streamlining operations, setting clear boundaries and prioritizing self-care, you can create a business that works for you, not the other way around.” [26:09] LINKS: Visit the fitDEGREE Knowledge Base Send Megan Your Playlist or Discuss the Podcast Here!  fitDEGREE's Business Portal https://calendly.com/fitdegree-support  support@fitDEGREE.com https://www.instagram.com/fitdegree/ ​​https://www.instagram.com/fitspot_guru/  https://www.fitdegree.com/blog  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChJ5rK6zWPXjbxtUQx3ys9Q https://www.tiktok.com/@megan_fitdegree
