I do pass of fees. No one has ever said a thing. But it’s also just been that way from the beginning, so it’s not a new thing for my clients. I imagine it would ruffle feathers if it was a new situation. I accommodate cash for packages (but they have to have a card on file for memberships) if someone asks, but I never take checks. They can do ACH too. I do not keep change in the studio either so if someone wants to pay cash they have to have exact change. I am also just one person doing most everything so just try to keep transactions as seamless and easy as possible. It also may be location specific too. Maybe New Yorkers are somehow less bothered by it?? 🤷‍♀️

lol just read the other comments. Looks like I’m not alone.

I couldn’t get into this one. I don’t know if it was the reader of the audiobook but it just wasn’t working for me.

Taylor Spaw Love! Thank you!

Awesome! Thank you so much for sharing!!

Love this! Thank you for sharing!

This kind of happened to me. I have one random 2 star review with zero content by someone who’s never been to the studio and doesn’t even live in my town. She does seem to be a real person though. I replied saying “I’d love some insight to your review as it seems you have never actually attended a class at the studio. Please email me.” And never heard from her. I’ve reported it twice as irrelevant since she’s never been and it doesn’t even say anything, but they haven’t done anything. It’s so so annoying. I’m sorry someone is doing this to you repeatedly!

So close and yet so far!

Also read “You are a Badass” by Jen Sincero!

You’re not alone! Here’s what helps me:

Take class! Doesn’t have to be what you teach. I actually often find more inspiration outside of my own modality.

Meditate. Even just taking a few min to be still and calm helps me to reenergize and hone in on what may be behind the funk.

Take a break. Just do it. Everyone will be ok. I myself, am closing my studio for all of Labor Day weekend, so I can take a break and be with my family before the craziness of the school year starts.

Go back to basics. I always find when I go back to the real meat and potatoes of teaching I am reminded why I love the work and that I don’t have to reinvent the wheel every class.

And you’re already doing the last one, which is talking about it. Being honest about it and not trying to hold it in or bury it will help you find your way through. ❤️
