I wanted it to feel like a voice memo straight from me to you. Because this is real life, real emotions, and a really big decision. After 19 years, I've made the decision to close my women's fitness studio, Venus. This wasn't something I decided overnight. It's been weighing on me for a long time. In this episode, I'm sharing the full story - the why behind the decision, what Venus has meant to me, and the lessons I've learned from building a business, a community, and a space that changed not only my life, but so many women's lives too. If you've ever owned a business, struggled with burnout, or felt like you were outgrowing something you once loved… this episode will hit home.
