When Teachers Ask for More Than You Earn


Listen Later

Are your teachers asking for more pay while you’re still not paying yourself enough?

In this episode, Chantelle and Michelle dive into one of the most uncomfortable (and common) challenges studio owners face: navigating teacher pay requests without sacrificing your own income or the health of your business. This is an honest, practical conversation about boundaries, profitability, and leading with clarity instead of emotion.

You’ll learn:

  • How to confidently respond to pay requests without feeling guilty or reactive
  • Why your current wage structure might be the reason you’re not paying yourself
  • A simple way to structure pay that rewards retention and supports studio growth

This is the kind of conversation that shifts everything, not just your numbers, but how you show up as a leader in your studio.
