The Studio Owner's Self-Care Survival Kit: Your Summer Dose of Inspiration & Rejuvenation
Running a studio is like being a conductor, therapist, business strategist, and cheerleader all rolled into one exhausting (but rewarding!) package. Between managing schedules, keeping clients happy, and trying to remember if you actually ate lunch today, it's easy to forget that YOU need care too.
This month, we're serving up three delicious recommendations to feed your mind, body, and entrepreneurial spirit. Think of this as your permission slip to prioritize yourself while still growing your business.
🎧 PODCAST TO POWER YOUR COMMUTE
Why you'll love it: Emma doesn't just talk business—she talks about building empire while staying true to yourself. As someone who co-founded Good American and SKIMS, she knows what it's like to scale from startup chaos to serious success. Her conversations dive deep into the real stuff: managing growth, dealing with setbacks, and why your authentic voice is your biggest competitive advantage. Plus, she has this incredible ability to make you feel like you can conquer the world before you even finish your coffee.
Perfect for: Studio owners ready to think bigger, scale smarter, and get inspired by someone who's built multiple successful brands from the ground up.
📚 AUDIOBOOK FOR YOUR EVENING WALKS
Why it's perfect for studio owners: Even if you never plan to sell your studio, this book will transform how you think about building your business. Warrillow breaks down how to create systems that don't depend on you being there 24/7—imagine actually taking a vacation without your phone buzzing every five minutes! The book shows you how to turn your studio from a job you own into a business that runs beautifully without you micromanaging every detail.
Bonus: You'll finally understand the difference between being self-employed and being a business owner. Spoiler alert: one of them lets you sleep through the night without worrying if someone remembered to lock up.
🧘♀️ WELLNESS SERVICE TO TRY THIS MONTH
Salt Cave Therapy (Halotherapy)
What it is: Picture this—you're lounging in a dimly lit cave made entirely of pink Himalayan salt, breathing in microscopic salt particles while gentle music plays. It's like a beach vacation for your respiratory system.
Why studio owners need this: You spend your days in high-energy environments, managing other people's wellness journeys while probably neglecting your own. Salt cave therapy naturally reduces stress, improves sleep quality, and can help with everything from seasonal allergies to that persistent brain fog that comes from wearing too many hats.
The real magic: It's 45 minutes where your phone doesn't work, your to-do list can't reach you, and the only thing you can do is breathe and be still. When's the last time that happened?
Haven't tried sauna and ice baths yet? Start there! The contrast therapy is incredible for recovery and mental resilience—two things every studio owner desperately needs.
Your Challenge This Month
Pick one. Just one. Your future self (and your current stress levels) will thank you. Remember, taking care of yourself isn't selfish—it's strategic. You can't pour from an empty cup, and your studio needs you at your best.
P.S. - Still feeling guilty about taking time for yourself? Think of it as market research. The better you understand wellness services, the better you can serve your clients. You're welcome for the business justification. 😉
