#7 – Daring to Dream Big and Move Boldly with Hannah Wilcox
What happens when you finally achieve the dream you worked so hard for — and it no longer feels right?
When the thing that once set your soul on fire starts to feel like someone else’s story?
In this episode, I sit down with Hannah Wilcox, a professional ballet dancer who made the brave decision to retire at the height of her career.
We explore:
Her journey to becoming an elite ballet dancer — and the hidden struggles behind the spotlight
The courage it takes to let go of what no longer fits
How she found the strength to walk away and start over
The freedom that comes from honouring your inner knowing — even when it means leaving everything you’ve built
A glimpse into her new project: The Left Field Podcast
...and so much more.
If you’ve ever felt the pull to pivot, to walk away from something that no longer aligns, or to start over — this one’s for you.
