In this episode, we’re pulling back the curtain on big schedule shifts, exciting growth, and the very real tension of giving a lot… maybe too much. After three years of podcasting, countless hours of teaching, and years of building CAYA, we’re finally feeling the momentum. We talk about the slow burn of consistency, the fear and power of taking risks, and what it really means to invest in yourself. But we also get candid about the DMs asking for free consulting, the entitlement that can come with putting out so much free content, and the blurry line between generosity and boundaries. How do you give enough to hook people in without giving it all away? We’re learning in real-time—and sometimes the hard way. Giana shares about being new to San Francisco and the weirdness of trying to connect with studio coworkers, while Bradshaw recalls the moment Giana asked her out for a coffee… and how that one message turned into this whole thing. The irony isn’t lost on us—but there's a big difference between building real relationships and being asked to work for free. This episode is about knowing your worth, honoring your time, and figuring out how to create value and demand. All with plenty of tangents and hilarious stories, of course.
