Dance as Freedom: Reclaiming Joy Through Movement


Listen Later

In this deeply personal and heart-opening episode, we’re getting into what dance really means—not just as art or performance, but as a sacred act of healing, resistance, and release. I’m sharing my journey of falling in love with dance, falling away from it, and slowly finding my way back home to movement. We talk about body confidence, emotional numbness, joy, shame, and the freedom that comes when you just… let go and move.

If you’ve ever felt disconnected from your body, or like joy has been hard to reach lately, this one’s for you. I’m reminding myself—and you—that healing doesn’t always have to be heavy. Sometimes, it shows up in the form of rhythm, sway, and a little two-step in your room when no one’s watching.

Let this episode be a soft nudge back into your body. Back into joy. Back into freedom.🕊️💃🏽
