HEELING The Podcast

Performing has always been one of my greatest fears in my dance career. I have experienced severe stage fright and anxiety as long as I can remember....but this past weekend, I really allowed myself to use my fear as fuel. I performed a Burlesque routine to "Trouble" by Elvis Presley in the Danceclub Asheville Showcase, and I have truly never felt more like my highest self. The fear of being seen is something that so many of us struggle with, but if we were just able to look beyond our temporary fear and see the power in stepping out of our comfort zone....we could have so many magical experiences and exponential growth in our lives.

TOPICS INCLUDE:

1. The Incredible Benefits of Performing 

2. Stage Fright & The Fear of Failure 

3. Letting Go of Expectations

4. How to Successfully Prepare for a Performance

It's almost Halloween witches! Which means, I had to have the Queen of Spooky on the podcast to celebrate this magical time of year with you all....Greta Smith-Greenfield. Greta and I met in Burlesque class in SLC, and have been friends ever since. She's a French teacher with a love for all things spooky, cozy, and witchy. Not only that, but she's a party-hosting maven, an avid adventurer, and truly the glue that keeps her various friend groups united. This episode is FUN, HILARIOUS, and yes....even a bit PARANORMAL. I truly believe that enjoying our life and having fun is an essential part of our healing process. If you're not having fun, what's even the point of it all? So grab a cozy beverage, maybe even a Halloween craft, and enjoy this episode with Greta.
