Let's be real -- we ALL go through it. A student cancels, pauses, or ends their time with you (whether it's 1:1 lessons or a membership program). And truth be told, it doesn't feel good! In this episode, we're breaking down exactly what to do when this happens.

WE COVER:

• mindset awareness: what are you thinking about when this happens
• what our brain is going to tell us about ourselves
• why our "not ideal" students will often quit unexpectedly
• how to approach your schedule if it feels emptier than usual
• what to do if a student stops paying you unexpectedly
• how to maintain financial security if a student wants to terminate
• how to maintain financial security if YOU don't want to teach for a bit
• the #1 way to continue creating abundance

Feeling all the feelings when making big changes? You're not alone! Whether it's launching a new offer, raising your prices, or watching student clients suddenly leave your studio, these changes will often bring up a LOT of fears and anxieties. Let's talk about them!

This episode is a replay recording from a question I answered inside of our Q&A Broadcast. I had just walked myself through this process not too long prior -- great timing!

This is a mental process to use over & over again. Grab your notebook! This framework will change your life!
