Two years ago, Lily was sitting in a lawyer’s office, her business partner had just pulled out, the lease was signed, the money was gone, and she was staring down the barrel of a $70k loan with a newborn on her hip.


Most people would’ve walked away.


She didn’t.


Instead, she backed herself, rallied a village, rebuilt her identity through movement, and turned Limber into one of the most heart-driven, community-led studios in the country.


In this episode, Lily opens up about the grit, the healing, the systems, the breakthroughs, and the brutal self-belief it took to go from teaching 10 hours a day and crying in breathwork sessions… to doubling her studio in six months and building a team that actually runs the business with her.


Here’s what we’re covering:


How Limber was born from rock bottom, identity loss, and a mountain of debt


Why Lily refused to quit, even when everyone told her she should


The wild early days: teaching 13 surf-club classes, Pilates in pubs & lugging rollers around town


The moment she realised having “no systems” was costing her thousands


How hiring a salesperson changed everything (and why she should’ve done it sooner)


The retention system that saved 110k+ a year in churn


Why contractors are killing your culture - and how she’s building a real “dream team” instead


Her breakthrough moment inside Academy that stopped her from quitting


How she doubled revenue & members in six months without burning out


The bold mission behind Limber - and how she’s turning her healing into her life’s work

… and the studio-number-two vision that will blow your mind
