In this episode of The Pilates Lounge Podcast, Katie Crane sits down with mindset coach Julie Dempsey to dive into the importance of a positive growth mindset, especially in times of burnout— a challenge for both Pilates instructors and clients. They discuss powerful tools to shift self-belief, manage negative thoughts, and use visualisation and positive self-talk to drive personal and professional success. Julie shares her perspective on how essential it is for instructors to recognise their own growth, build a supportive environment, and embrace self-care without guilt. Katie and Julie also touch on the myth that busyness equals success, explaining why prioritising self-care and breaking down tasks can lead to healthier, more sustainable growth.
