Description

Amanda and Bec are going unfiltered as they reflect on some of the toughest situations they've faced as studio owners: from heartbreaking student departures to challenging staff dynamics and one very expensive legal wake-up call. This one’s for every studio owner who's been there, or is there right now.

You’ll hear us talk about:

  • What it really feels like to lose a long-term student you've poured your heart into

  • Why letting go of toxic team members might be the best move you ever make

  • How Amanda turned staff sabotage into an opportunity (and met the teacher who would one day buy her studio!)

  • Bec’s $40,000 lesson in misclassifying staff and why every studio owner needs to hear this cautionary tale

  • Why we must stop bending over backwards to keep people who are already halfway out the door

  • “Pause on a positive”: the perspective shift that’ll change how you handle the hard stuff

A must-listen for:
Studio owners navigating hard conversations, tough team calls, or the aftermath of hurtful exits — and anyone ready to take their power back and grow through what they go through.
