This episode is all about choosing a Word of the Year (WOTY), a practice I have done for 7 years and why it can be even more powerful than setting a long list of goals. I walk you through how a WOTY has helped me stay centered when goals feel overwhelming, and why a word gives you something to come back to every day. Goals can feel scattered. A word brings focus. I share the story of how the word ease first entered my life (and eventually became my word for life), and why choosing a word can ...

Why Dance Is One of The Greatest Gifts You Can Give Yourself | Ep 66

This episode is a reminder to slow down and remember what a gift dance really is. We talk about gifts in all forms the obvious ones, the unexpected ones, and the quiet ones we forget to name. The gift of being able to move. The gift of returning to dance. The gift of music. The gift of your body showing up for you today. And the deeper idea that you are the gift, whether or not you fully believe that yet. I explore how dance helps shift imposter syndrome, builds gratitude for the body you’re ...

Reflection: The Most Powerful Tool Right At Your Fingertips | Ep 65

In this episode, we talk about how reflection becomes a tool for self-trust instead of self-judgment. I walk you through how to reflect in a way that makes you your own biggest cheerleader. I share how to write thoughts down without judgment, how to process what comes up in a way that feels supportive. You’ll hear some of my own reflections as examples, plus flexible end-of-year questions you can pick and choose from, including: • What you’re grateful for • Your wins and celebrations • What y...

A New Way to Set Goals Without Pressure or Burnout | Ep 64

In this episode, I teach you my favorite strategies for setting goals and staying on track for the year. I briefly go over how I do my reflection at the end of the year, choose my word of the year, how I break up my year into quarters (90 day sprints), and how I achieve gigantic goals with this small trick and shift. When review goals and how to differentiate between a goal that you want, and a goal that you feel like you should have. We accept that the goals we want can som...

Why Rituals Make Discipline Easier: Discipline That Feels Good | Ep 63

This episode is about creating a ritual around the thing you say you want to do... in this case, dance. When you don’t do it, the only person you’re really screwing over… is you. I talk about how ritual turns discipline into something that actually feels good. The makeup you do before class, the stretch that signals “we’re doing this.” The playlist, the snack, the little pre-dance routine that makes it feel special instead of forced. When it’s built into your schedule and treated like a non-n...

Starting Over Vs. Continuation: Stop Resetting Yourself. You’re Not Back at Zero | Ep 62

This episode is all about shifting out of the “I’m starting over” story and into the truth: you are not starting over, you are simply continuing. I talk about one of my dancers who’s getting back into class after an injury. From the outside, she’s doing everything right. Internally, though she hears a whole messy conversation telling her she’s “behind,” “not like she used to be,” “wasting time,” and “not doing enough.” And that’s the trap so many of us fall into. The emotional language ...

The Secret to Consistency: Toggling Your Intensity Instead of Burning Out | Ep 61

This episode is about the skill nobody talks about when it comes to consistency: learning how to toggle your intensity level. Most people think consistency means going hard, full-out, all the time… and then they wonder why they burn out and disappear for weeks. In this episode, I break down how I teach my dancers (and myself) to stay consistent without destroying your nervous system or your joy. Naturally, I make comparisons to the dance floor in terms of going "full out" and "marking it" Ste...

How To Build Your Dance Wardrobe As An Adult Dancer | Ep 60

Think of this episode as the follow-up to Episode 34, Why the Costume Matters, but this time we’re getting practical, playful, and a little rissky. In this episode, I walk you through exactly how I build my dance outfits: how I search for pieces, why textures and layers matter, how to balance comfort with confidence, and how to pick outfits that actually support your movement. We talk backups (and backup backups), sweat solutions, tape tricks, dressing-room burpees, and how the right outfit c...

Why It's Even More Important To Dance In December | Ep 59

December has this way of pulling us into giving, doing, hosting, wrapping, organizing, running around… and suddenly the things that make us feel alive get pushed to the bottom of the list. We tell ourselves, “I’ll get back to it in January,” when really we are setting ourselves up for a big disappointment when we do get back to what makes us us. This episode is a big reminder that dance isn’t something that takes time away from your life. It’s something that gives energy back to your li...

Making Mistakes Without Beating Yourself Up And Learning From The Information | Ep 58

The weirdest thing that ever happened in my 8 years of DJing happened during a wedding and I was shook. If you're anything like me, you beat yourself up when things don't go according to plan .. and this night, the plan was not this. It was a moment of pure curiosity. I see this come up the most in dance when people make mistakes. We know its not right, we beat ourselves up, we wonder and we overthink and that leads us to the potential of making more mistakes. Have you ever ...

How I Met The Love of My Life Through Dance | Ep 57

This is the first episode where I talk about dance the least but this is the most "More than Dance" episode because dance and my studio are the reasons why I was lead to my Joshy! This episode is all about my story with Josh and the era I call my bomb-ass-b*tch era I was "doing me,” I talk about how I got really honest with myself about what I actually wanted and how that pushed me into a totally different level of confidence, standards, and self trust. I share how I started creat...

The Shortcut: Finding Your Role Models | Ep 56

This episode is all about role models and how they show us what’s possible long before we’re ready to believe it for ourselves. I talk about the first time, I had a role model before I even knew what the concept what. Watching the "big girls" (the older girls) at dance. They had better costumes, bigger energy, boobies (let’s be honest), confidence, power and moves that made me think, oh… that’s where I could go. Remember comparison is not the thief of joy always, its obsession. The healthy ki...

Word Shift Series: "I'M BAD AT THAT": The Story We Tell Ourselves | Ep 55

You ever notice how fast we say it? “I’m so bad at that.” It rolls right off our tongue like we’ve accepted it as part of who we are. “I’m bad at balance.” “I’m bad at remembering things.” “I’m bad at organizing.” We say it so often that it stops sounding like a temporary struggle and starts becoming our identity. In this episode, I unpack what really happens when you keep repeating that story. Over time, those words carve deep grooves in your brain and make you stop trying before you e...

Word Shift Series: You and Your Excuses: Old, Fat, Not Sexy | Ep 54

This episode is about one of my least favorite phrases: “I’m too old.” and some other common excuses I hear at the studio: “I’m too old to dance,” “too out of shape,” “too young to start that.” These stories keep us small. I share how I once thought I was too young to open a dance studio because I pictured only older people doing that. We talk about where these limits come from, why we hold onto them, and how they show up in sneaky ways, especially when it comes to movement, expression,...

The Ripple Effect: Part 2: Making Someone’s Day Is Free | Ep 53

This episode is all about the second layer of the ripple effect, the power of helping, accepting help, and how those tiny gestures create energy that lasts way longer than the moment itself. I share the story of helping a woman set up her tent on the beach, how it instantly shifted her whole day, and how that one act somehow turned into a full-circle moment later (yes, even involving a mystery smell...you’ll see). I talk about how being a DJ has taught me the value of letting people help, and...

The Ripple Effect: How Small Connections Create Big Moments| Ep 52

This episode dives into the magic of the ripple effect. Something I LOVE to talk about! How tiny, intentional actions can spark joy, connection, and momentum in ways we don’t realize. I share a story from Martha’s Vineyard that reminded me how small gestures can shift someone’s day and even ripple into unexpected moments of positivity. On the dance floor, the ripple effect is just as powerful. I talk about noticing how someone’s energy, encouragement, or risk-taking in class can inspire every...

The Word Shift Series: SHOULD: What happens when you stop “should-ing” yourself | Ep 48

When you use the word “should,” you create pressure where there doesn’t need to be any. Should is not desire based; its approval based. It’s a word that pulls you out of the present and into judgment what you should’ve done, what you should be doing, or who you should be by now. In this episode, I break down how “should” keeps you disconnected from your actual desires and aligned action. I share examples of how this word has shown up in my own life, and how shifting from “should” ...
