As studio owners, we often get caught in the race for more—more students, more programs, more recognition—without stopping to ask if those things are what we truly want. In this episode, Ginger explores the hidden gap between our deepest desires and the goals we chase, why so many women struggle to name what they want for themselves, and how the “improvement trap” can rob us of joy in the present.

Through personal reflection, real-life examples, and a powerful self-audit exercise, you’ll be challenged to pause, look at what you’ve already built, and consider what truly matters for your life—not just your business.

Are you lying awake at night worrying about your studio's cash flow? Skipping your own paycheck to keep the doors open? You're not alone – and there's a way out.

In this episode, Ginger gets real about the financial struggles that so many studio owners face but rarely talk about. From credit card debt to personal loans keeping your business afloat, she shares the painful truth about what happens when we keep making the same financial mistakes... and the exact moment everything can change.

What You'll Discover:

• The "pivot point" that transforms everything (and why most owners never reach it)
• Why being "bad with money" is a dangerous lie you're telling yourself
• The hidden emotions driving your worst financial decisions
• How to separate your identity from your studio's success
• A proven debt elimination strategy that actually works for small businesses

Real Talk Alert: This episode doesn't sugarcoat the financial reality many studio owners face. Ginger shares her own story of financial stress, emergency credit card use, and the decision that changed everything for her studio.

Is email marketing really dead? Not even close. In this episode, Ginger breaks down why email is still one of the most effective (and underused) marketing tools for dance studio owners. While many are chasing algorithms and likes on social media, you could be building relationships—and boosting revenue—directly in your customers’ inboxes.

From segmenting your list to increase relevance, to running successful email campaigns that result in real sales (yes, even last-minute program sign-ups!), this episode is packed with actionable advice you can start using right away.

What You’ll Learn:

• Why email marketing outperforms social media for actual enrollment and engagement

• How to use email to promote specific offerings like birthday parties, private lessons, and camps

• The power of list segmentation (and how it keeps people from unsubscribing)

• How to test interest in a new program—before you spend time building it

• Real results from a last-minute email campaign that saved a summer program

• How to integrate email with your paid ads for better lead conversion

Key Takeaway: You don’t need to go viral to grow your studio—you need a strategy. And email is a powerful, cost-effective one that leads directly to sales.
