In this honest and heartwarming episode, I’m joined by Florida-based studio owner Jessica Canino, who shares her journey of raising her son while running a thriving dance studio. From babywearing at the barre to navigating recital season as a solo parent, Jessica opens up about the shifts in mindset, the lessons in time management, and the power of setting boundaries that have shaped her as both a mom and a business owner.

Whether you're preparing to start a family, deep in the toddler trenches, or just trying to figure out how to show up fully in both business and motherhood, this conversation is packed with relatable stories, real-world strategies, and encouragement for studio owners doing both.

 Key Topics:

• How Jessica organically grew her studio from an after-school program to a full-time business

• What changed when she became a mom—and later, a single mom

• How she learned to be intentional with her time (and what that looks like in real life)

• Creating core memories for kids and families while preserving her own

• Studio systems that support freedom and flexibility

• Why boundaries with clients, staff, and time matter so much

• The power of support systems: from family to studio community
