“Some people only knew the version of me that tolerated chaos, overextended herself, and carried everyone else on her back. She’s gone. And so are most of the people who benefited from her. I’ve outgrown the rooms, relationships, and expectations that only worked when I was smaller, softer, and easier to access. That version of me built the foundation. This version runs the company. I’m not just a studio owner anymore. I’m the CEO.” — Jess Schindler, Founder & CEO, Citizen Pilates
