    Weekly Roundup - The ClassPass Excuse (And Other Lies Studio Owners Tell Themselves)

    Welcome to the Weekly Roundup - a show powered by Artha Coaching. Is ClassPass really the problem? This week on The Weekly Roundup, that question sparks a much bigger conversation about the stories studio owners tell themselves when things aren't going the way they want. "We need more leads." "Our schedule is the problem." "People won't come if we change that class." "ClassPass is hurting our retention." But what if the data tells a different story? Josh, Terri, and Carol dig into why so many business owners make decisions based on assumptions, opinions, surveys, and fear instead of facts. From underperforming schedules to weak product definition to the subtle ways self-sabotage shows up in leadership, this episode is packed with hard truths and practical insights. Inside this episode: Why ClassPass is often an easy scapegoat—but rarely the real issueThe scheduling mistakes that quietly cost studios moneyWhy trying to please everyone usually backfiresHow unclear class offerings hurt retention and salesThe surprising connection between fascia, marketing, and communicating valueThe four biggest signs you're sabotaging your own growth If you've ever found yourself overthinking, procrastinating, second-guessing decisions, or blaming external factors for internal problems, this conversation will hit close to home. Sometimes the biggest obstacle in your business isn't what's happening around you. It's the story you've convinced yourself is true.

    Weekly Roundup - Your Business Isn’t Broken… You’re Just Flying Blind

    Welcome to the Weekly Roundup - a show powered by Artha Coaching. Your Business Isn’t Broken… You’re Just Flying Blind Most studio owners think the problem is marketing, competition, or getting more clients… but what if the real issue is that they’re running their business without clear visibility on what’s actually happening? In this episode, Carol and Josh unpack what it really means to “fly blind” as a business owner — from messy bookkeeping and ignored KPIs to making decisions based on stress instead of data. They talk about how avoiding your numbers creates bigger problems over time, why so many wellness business owners stay stuck in reaction mode, and how clarity changes everything. The conversation also dives into AI, business systems, emotional intelligence, and the difference between running a business intentionally versus constantly putting out fires. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, unclear on what to focus on, or like you’re working hard without real direction, this episode will probably feel very familiar.

    Weekly Roundup - Stop Assuming Your Staff “Should Just Know”

    Welcome to the Weekly Roundup - a show powered by Artha Coaching. Stop Assuming Your Staff “Should Just Know” This week’s Weekly Roundup dives into one of the biggest frustrations studio owners face: feeling like your team “should just know” what to do… but somehow things still keep falling through the cracks. Bridget, Carol, and Terri unpack why unclear expectations, inconsistent training, and vague communication create operational chaos — especially when staff are juggling multiple roles inside growing wellness businesses. The conversation gets real about front desk responsibilities, missed first-visit follow-ups, why “friendly reminder” group chats rarely solve the actual problem, and how strong systems create stronger teams. They also break down practical ways to improve lead follow-up, sales processes, and accountability without overcomplicating things. If you’ve ever caught yourself wondering, “Why isn’t my team doing this?” — this episode will probably give you the answer.
