In this episode of the Transform My Dance Studio Podcast, we’re taking you behind the scenes for a powerful Inner Circle conversation with studio owner and mentor Kelli Leighton.
Together, we explore what happens when you shift your mindset from survival mode to service-driven leadership. Inspired by executive coach Craig Burns, this episode dives into the emotional patterns, limiting beliefs, and default narratives that can hold dance studio owners back—from growth, from rest, and from the financial success they deserve.
Kelli opens up about:
- How she learned to stop taking feedback personally
- Letting go of the “hustle = worth” mentality
- Reframing help at home as a form of support, not failure
- What it really means to run a real business in the dance world
- Why it’s time to stop apologizing for wanting sustainability and success
If you’ve ever felt like you're carrying the weight of your studio on your back, this episode will remind you: You’re not alone—and you’re allowed to thrive.
