In this episode, I’m sharing the questions I asked myself after a year that looked successful on paper but felt… off. I had full classes, amazing students, and met my income goals. But something wasn’t quite right.

So I reworked my schedule. I rethought how many students I actually want to teach, what formats bring me the most energy, and how I define success on my terms.

If you’ve ever found yourself filling every available time slot, feeling like more students equals more success, or wondering how to protect your joy while paying the bills, you’re not alone.

This one’s for you.
