On today’s show I am sitting down with Jenn Pike, who is a Hormone Nutritionist, Author & Brilliant Entrepreneur.
I have to admit, I didn’t know a lot about Jenn and her work before our conversation, but I am sitting here completely blown away by how brilliant and genuine this woman is.
Many of you have been patiently awaiting this episode, and now I know why. Jenn is a true visionary.
In addition to opening up about her many successes as a business owner of over 15 years, Jenn is also pulling back the curtains to share the challenges and tougher moments that brought her to where she is today.
Opening & ultimately selling her brick and mortar Pilates studio,
Reaching burnout multiple times,
& failing to give her family her best energy…
This is just SOME of the realness that Jenn and I are sharing in today’s conversation.
If you don’t know Jenn, she is…

Here are the 3 biggest takeaways that I hope you gather from this weeks conversation with Jenn Pike…
Before we started recording, Jenn and I were talking about “the dips” that business owners so often experience, but don’t always share. You know, those low moments in a day (which occur almost everyday in my workday if I am being honest) when you just feel like “it’s not working”.
Yes, even Jenn has those moments! She talks about a technique she uses, which is simply tapping in & taking a pause. Removing the earbuds, taking some deep breaths, and asking “why isn’t this working”.
This is something I am going to implement immediately, as I find that I tend to experience moments like this at least a few times per week!
Second, I loved her perspective on closing her studio and how she sees it as a completion and not a failure.
I think it’s so important for all of us to adopt this mindset shift when one chapter of our life closes and another opens. It’s not failure, it’s not something to regret, it’s simply a completion that is preparing you for what’s next.
Finally, I appreciate how Jenn is transparent about the challenges that come alongside opening a Brick & Mortar studio.
She said it was the hardest and most rewarding 5 years of her life, while she owned and operated her fitness studio. When she shared how tough it was in terms of finances, managing her team, dealing with landlords… it reminded me that it’s so important to support our brick & mortar shop owners when possible.
They make our communities what they are, add vibrancy to our communities, and they deserve to be celebrated.
