And somewhere along the way, we often put ourselves last.In this final episode for the year, I’m sharing a reminder for you as you head into the break. This episode isn’t about strategy, planning, or doing more. It’s about acknowledging what you’ve carried, giving yourself permission to rest, and finishing the year with intention rather than exhaustion.This episode is a letter to you. A pause. A moment to breathe before the year ends.In this episode, I talk about:The unseen weight studio owners carry year after yearWhy rest is part of leadership, not something you earn after everything is doneLetting go of guilt as you step away from the studioWhy the way you finish the year matters more than how much you squeeze inA reminder of what you’ve built and sustained, even when it felt hardI also share why I’ll be taking a short break from the podcast over the holidays, and what’s coming in the new year.If you’re ready to reconnect with your leadership, gain clarity, and spend time in the room with studio owners who truly get it, I’d love to invite you to the Business of Dance Conference.
