Back from holiday, full of ideas… but second-guessing everything? You’re not alone.

In this energising and heart-to-heart episode, Stacey and Rhee take on one of the hardest parts of leadership as a dance studio owner—sticking to your vision, even when it ruffles a few feathers. Whether you're restructuring your comp team, changing your schedule, or raising fees, someone will have an opinion. The question is—are you confident enough to move forward anyway?

With stories, practical tips, and a healthy dose of dance teacher truth bombs, this episode is your reminder that your studio doesn’t run on parent approval—it runs on your passion and leadership.

Key Takeaways:

• Confidence is the secret sauce. You had a vision—don’t let other people’s doubts drown it.

• Mrs. Smith isn’t forever. You’re building for the next five years, not next week’s car park conversation.

• Backpacks full of resentment are heavy. If you’re exhausted, it’s time to let go of what no longer fits.

• Your vision deserves better marketing. Speak it clearly. Write it down. Share it with conviction.

• Who you surround yourself with matters. Not everyone is meant to come with you to the next level.

This Episode is for You If:

• You're toying with a big change—but worried how parents or staff might react.

• You’ve ever lost sleep over feedback from a loud (but temporary) voice in your studio.

• You’re ready to reclaim your leadership, your energy, and your studio’s future.

• You know it’s time for a reset—and you’re looking for a loving nudge to do it.
