This is the episode I've wanted to record for a while — because it's the one that feels most personal.
People sometimes raise an eyebrow when I say I lead with love. Like it's a nice idea but not a real business strategy. I'm here to tell you it absolutely is.
Tori Clapham is one of the most impressive women I know in the Pilates world — and we have quite a story. I sold two of my Barre Body studios to her, and today Peaches Pilates is one of our biggest studio partners in Sydney and Melbourne.
I have a front-row seat to one of the most exciting moments in the global wellness industry — and I want to bring you into it. Pilates has exploded. The global wellness economy is booming. And the opportunity for women who want to build a business in this space has never been bigger. In this episode I share what I'm seeing from the inside — the trends, the shifts, the opportunities — and why I genuinely believe we are just getting started. Whether you're a Pilates teacher, a studio owner, or simply someone who loves this world, this episode is for you.
Barre Body turns 15 in November 2026. Fifteen years of building, pivoting, failing, growing, and learning — and I have so much to share.
