In this episode of the EmpowerMoms Podcast, Alex and Chauntelle sit down with Sarah and Kayla, the powerhouse duo behind Phoenix Fitness for the Arts (PFA) — a London-based studio blending dance, fitness, confidence, and community in a way that feels both energizing and deeply supportive for women.

They chat through the origins of PFA, what it was like to launch and grow a movement-centered business through a global pandemic, and how motherhood has shaped the way they run their studio. From heels and pole to strength classes and creative workshops, Sarah and Kayla share how PFA became a safe space for women to move without judgment, reconnect with themselves, and build real friendships.

This conversation is warm, honest, and packed with insights for anyone looking to build community, explore movement, or take the leap into entrepreneurship.
