We had a team education recently with Dr. Chelsea Pierotti, and there was one idea that really stuck with me afterwards.

Control the controllables.

It sounds simple. But the more I sat with it, the more I realized how often we do the exact opposite — especially when we’re teaching or running a studio.

If you teach, you’ve probably had those moments where something just feels off. People aren’t responding the way you expected, the energy isn’t quite there, or something you planned isn’t landing. And almost immediately, your mind starts trying to fix everything at once.

That’s usually where it starts to go wrong.

In this episode, I talk about what it actually means to shift your focus back to what you can control — and how much that changes your experience in the room. 

And the more I thought about it, the more I realized this doesn’t stop at teaching. It becomes even more important when you’re running a studio.

Because as an owner, it’s very easy to feel like everything is yours to manage. Your team, your clients, the business, the atmosphere… and at some point, that turns into trying to control things that you simply can’t.

Because it’s usually not the situation that creates the stress. It’s how we’re thinking about it.
