CONFESSIONS OF A STUDIO OWNER
I own a wellness business and sometimes I am absolutely fu***ng exhausted.
There. I said it.
I spend a ridiculous amount of my working life telling people to listen to their bodies, rest when they need to, breathe, create space and stop glorifying being busy.
Meanwhile, I can be teaching, answering emails, solving staff problems, planning trainings, checking numbers, making content, dealing with the broken toilet and thinking about next year — all before I’ve actually noticed that I’m tired.
The irony is not lost on me.
And I think there’s another slightly uncomfortable conversation here.
Sometimes the thing exhausting us isn’t that we need better boundaries.
It’s that we’ve built lives we actually really fu***ng care about.
I love my studios. I love teaching. I love creating things. I have ideas constantly. I want to say yes. I want to make things happen.
And that makes it dangerously easy to overstretch yourself.
Because burnout doesn’t always come from doing things you hate.
Sometimes it comes from being completely incapable of putting down the things you love.
I’m still learning that having the capacity to do something doesn’t automatically mean I should.
And apparently owning a yoga studio does not make you magically good at yoga philosophy.
Confession over.
