68: Pole Dancing Empowerment | A Body Positivity and Community Story | Josie Elysia

Josie shares her deeply personal and empowering journey into pole dancing, a passion she discovered after years of hesitation. From her first class at Vertika Pole Studio in Windsor to becoming a near-weekly regular and aspiring instructor, Josie opens up about overcoming stigma, building strength, and finding joy in movement. She discusses how pole dancing reshaped her views on body positivity, helped her connect with a vibrant community, and even inspired her to launch a dedicated Instagram account. Beyond the pole, Josie is a dynamic force in Windsor’s creative scene—co-founding Support YQG, teaching at St. Clair College, and hosting local events. This episode is a celebration of self-trust, growth, and the power of showing up for yourself.
