117 | Building a Leadership Team in Your Dance Studio
In this episode, Ginger breaks down what it really means to build a leadership team in a dance studio and why it matters at every stage of business. She shares a practical way to think about leadership roles (owning an area, not just completing tasks), the roles she built over time in her own studio, and how a manager-on-duty system creates freedom, better customer service, and stronger staff support. She also explains why documenting SOPs and building succession plans are essential for sustainable growth.

116: The Reason That Dancer Didn't Re-enroll
In this episode, I share a conversation with a dance mom who pulled her daughter from another studio and why it came down to trust. She named two main issues. First, she wasn’t seeing real progress in her child and didn’t feel confident the training was as strong as it was being presented. Second, she felt uncomfortable with age appropriate choices in music, movement, costumes, and the overall tone being marketed to families. I talk about how studios unintentionally project their values through what they teach and promote, and how parents often won’t argue or complain. They simply leave. I also challenge you to take an honest look inside your studio right now, sit in on classes, spot check your team, and address the things you already know feel off instead of waiting until after recital. If you’re ready to clean this up and lead with more confidence, I can help. Visit gingerhaithcox.com/coaching to book a breakthrough call. We’ll look at what’s happening, what needs to change, and your next right step.

115 | Role Reversal: Your Business Has a Job
Ginger explores a simple but powerful role reversal for overwhelmed studio owners: stop treating every new task as yours and start treating it as the business’s responsibility. When you shift from “I need to do this” to “the business needs to do this,” you move out of solopreneur mode and into the director role, where you allocate resources like staff, systems, and software to get the work done.

114 | I Almost Quit Studio Ownership (A 12 Month Reflection)
In this 12-month reflection episode, Ginger shares a candid moment from the past year when she seriously considered stepping away from the day-to-day of studio ownership. She walks through the practical plan she built with her life coach to create an intentional “12-month exit,” including leadership coverage, documentation, communication, and clarity about what would come next. Along the way, she discovers something surprising: stepping back didn’t just create an exit plan, it helped her rediscover purpose, renew her leadership mindset, and reconnect with what she loves most about the work. What you’ll hear in this episode What it really felt like to lose emotional connection to the studio, even when things were going “fine” Why sabbaticals work in other professions and why studio owners often don’t have a built-in version of that renewal The 5-part “12-month exit plan” Ginger created to prepare to step away from daily operations How leadership conversations revealed the different future goals of key team members The difference between delegating tasks and delegating approval (and why approval is where burnout hides) Are you ready to get coached by Ginger?

110 | Well Fed, Well Rested, Well Loved
This week, we explore three essential pillars of self-care that every overwhelmed and under-earning studio owner needs: being well fed, well rested, and well loved. These aren’t luxuries — they are the foundation of how you think, lead, and show up for your studio and your life. You’ll hear why these three basics matter far more than we often admit, how neglecting them directly contributes to burnout and poor decision-making, and how simple, consistent shifts can dramatically improve your energy, clarity, and leadership. What You’ll Learn Why being well fed is about more than nutrition — it’s about consistent, intentional care How skipping meals, grabbing quick fixes, or running on fumes affects your emotional and mental bandwidth The connection between rest and your ability to think clearly, make better decisions, and run your studio with confidence How exhaustion mimics overwhelm, irritability, and self-doubt Why your relationships — including the one you have with yourself — determine your resilience and mindset What it looks like to become “the average of the five people you spend time with” How negative self-talk erodes self-trust and sabotages progress Practical, approachable steps to become more nourished, more rested, and more supported Key Points Self-care isn’t an add-on — it’s the operating system your whole business depends on. Nourishment, sleep, and healthy relationships multiply your capacity as a leader. Small, sustainable changes beat dramatic overhauls every time. You have far more agency in your daily life than your current habits may suggest. Take the Next Step Choose one small change to support yourself today — a nourishing meal, an earlier bedtime, or a meaningful connection. That one step can reshape the way you operate as a studio owner and as a woman. Feeling stuck or unsure what your next move should be? Let’s figure it out together.

109 | The Scarcity Mindset
In this episode of Life Coaching for Dance Studio Owners, Ginger explores how a scarcity mindset—especially around money—can quietly influence your decisions as a business owner. From childhood messages about “we can’t afford it” to adult fears about payroll, expenses, and investments, this episode unpacks how those old beliefs might still be driving your choices today. Ginger shares personal stories about learning to reframe her own money fears, including the moment she took a leap of faith to invest in her studio during one of its toughest years. You’ll learn how to recognize the signs of scarcity thinking, why your nervous system equates money with safety, and how to make smarter, calmer financial decisions that serve your business long term. What You’ll Learn: What the scarcity mindset really looks like for dance studio owners How childhood experiences shape your money beliefs Why spending and investing can trigger anxiety (and how to manage it) How to recognize when your “safety” instincts are actually holding you back Simple reflection questions to start shifting your financial mindset Takeaway: Avoiding investment isn’t the same as staying safe—it might be the very thing keeping you stuck.

Are you caught in a spiral of “shoulds” — I should post more, I should have known better, I should be doing it all? In this episode, Ginger unpacks the emotional weight of "shoulda, coulda, woulda" thinking and how it leads to guilt, burnout, and decision-making that prioritizes others over your own needs.

107 | Connecting the Dots: How Retrieval Cues Simplify Learning for Dancers and Teachers
In this episode, Ginger welcomes Dr. Emily Gray—dance educator, researcher, and creator of The Dance Dots—for an insightful discussion about how retrieval cues can transform the learning experience for dancers of all ages. Emily explains what retrieval cues are—tools that help the brain recall stored information—and how her system of color-coded floor markers evolved from a simple classroom need into a research-backed method that improves spatial awareness, reduces cognitive load, and boosts confidence in both classroom and performance settings. Together, Ginger and Emily explore how consistent visual markers support smoother transitions between spaces, calm nerves before performances, and make choreography recall easier for students and teachers alike. Emily also shares practical advice for adapting retrieval cues across different settings, including competitions and recitals, plus fun classroom applications using glow-in-the-dark Dance Dots. Key Takeaways: What “retrieval cues” are and how they enhance memory and learning. How Dance Dots can help dancers stay oriented in class and on stage. Why reducing cognitive load is essential for both children and teens. How to use retrieval cues consistently to improve choreography recall. Creative ways to introduce the concept through games and performance prep. The role of familiarity in reducing performance anxiety.

Feeling overwhelmed by marketing? You’re not alone. In this episode, I sit down with Rachel Lindteigen of Etched Marketing to unpack how dance studio owners can take simple, impactful steps to boost their visibility online — without getting lost in the tech or spending thousands on ads. Rachel shares: Why SEO (search engine optimization) is essential for small business owners — especially when you serve a local community. Quick wins you can do this week to move the needle, like fixing your homepage title tag, updating your Google Business Profile, and making your location crystal clear online. How to think about keywords and competition so you’re targeting the right searches that real parents are making. The big shift: how AI tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Apple Intelligence through Siri are changing the way people search — and what that means for your website. Why blogging and consistent content creation can exponentially grow your chances of being found. The importance of brand consistency across your ads, website, and social media. Encouragement for studio owners facing a tough year with lagging enrollment — and why raising prices (yes, raising them!) can still be the right move. Rachel also shares free resources and her SEO programs to help small business owners confidently take control of their marketing.

100 | Saying Yes to A Small Spark of Inspiration: One Hundred Episodes
One hundred episodes. Can you believe it? When I first dreamed of creating this podcast, I had no idea what I was doing — only that I felt called to give it a try. Sitting in an airport lounge with hours to spare, I jotted down my first 52 episode ideas and decided that even if no one listened, it was something worth putting into the world. Fast forward to today, and here we are together at episode 100. In this special reflection, I share the journey of taking a tiny spark of inspiration and choosing to bring it to life — even when fear, doubt, and uncertainty whispered reasons to stop. From learning that most podcasts don’t make it past five episodes, to pushing past the fear of rejection when inviting guests, I’ve discovered that growth doesn’t come from waiting for perfect timing. It comes from steady, faithful steps. This episode is about: Why making a decision feels so hard — and why it matters. The story of how this podcast began (and why I refused to let it fizzle out). Lessons I’ve learned after 100 episodes about courage, consistency, and following through. An invitation for you: what small idea have you been ignoring that might be the start of something big? My hope is that as you listen, you’ll feel inspired to say yes to the sparks that have been tugging at your heart. Because maybe, just maybe, your next big thing is waiting on you to take that first step. Thank you for being part of these first 100 episodes — I can’t wait to see what comes next for both of us.

96 | What We Want vs. What We Chase
As studio owners, we often get caught in the race for more—more students, more programs, more recognition—without stopping to ask if those things are what we truly want. In this episode, Ginger explores the hidden gap between our deepest desires and the goals we chase, why so many women struggle to name what they want for themselves, and how the “improvement trap” can rob us of joy in the present. Through personal reflection, real-life examples, and a powerful self-audit exercise, you’ll be challenged to pause, look at what you’ve already built, and consider what truly matters for your life—not just your business.
