I burned out at my VC job, so I opened a Pilates studio. I work more now  but it feels good to not have to say 'yes.'
"I was not getting enough sleep. I was not eating full meals. And I was putting more stress on myself than was even necessary. I felt like if I continued to treat my body this way, there would be some repercussions."
"It was weird to go from working in such technical areas to telling everyone that I'm doing Pilates now. It was a big shift and a big ego death."
"I took a lot of lessons from my previous experiences and knew how to run a team and scale. So we decided to come together."
