In this episode of Keepin’ It Real, I tell a story exactly as it happened. I met a man on a dance floor who knew how to command attention. I watched him perform for the room, decided I wasn’t interested in competing for it, and then did something different. I asked directly for what I wanted.

What followed had nothing to do with romance or fantasy. It was about choice. Clear boundaries. Mutual desire without pretending it needed to become something else. I talk about exploring sexuality without a relationship, why that felt clean and honest for me, and how comfortable I was being fully expressed in my body without apology.

This episode also cuts straight into the issue I see over and over with women. Restricted movement. Hesitation. Fear of taking up space. I explain why partner dancing exposes these blocks immediately, how confidence actually shows up in the body, and why most women are far more capable of freedom and pleasure than they allow themselves to be.

I also introduce my Discover Your Groove workshop, a free 30-day practice for women who are done overthinking movement and ready to feel at home in their bodies.

This conversation is not about being sexy or desirable for anyone else. It is about being clear, embodied, and honest with yourself. When you trust your body and stop shrinking, everything changes.

Memorable Quotes:

“If you don't actually give yourself permission to, like, really take up space, and you sense that that is a huge signal that there is some block in your body and there's some fear.” – Misty Tripoli

“The way that I approach dance is that it's very practical. There's no choreography, there's no weird shit. There's nothing like that. It's just, what can we do in your body? Where can we work with where you're at right now, in your body, today? “ – Misty Tripoli

“But now I'm empowered sexually, like now I feel and I'm more comfortable in my body, and my sensuality, than I'd ever been in my whole life.” – Misty Tripoli

Aging has a way of asking a question we don’t always want to answer: Who am I if I’m no longer trying to stay young? In this episode of Keepin’ It Real, I get honest about my own experience with Botox, the pressure women face to keep looking a certain way, and the moment I realized how exhausting it was to keep fighting time.I share what it felt like to lose facial expression, to look in the mirror and not fully recognize myself, and the deeper truth underneath it all, that clinging to youth can quietly disconnect us from who we actually are. We talk about the emotional, financial, and energetic cost of chasing an ever-moving standard of beauty, and why opting out can feel both terrifying and incredibly freeing.This isn’t an anti-Botox episode, and it’s definitely not about judging anyone’s choices. It’s about honesty, self-acceptance, and the relief that comes when you stop trying to be someone you used to be and start honoring who you are now. We explore the unexpected freedom of invisibility, the beauty of maturity, and the peace that comes with choosing reality over performance.If you’ve ever felt conflicted about aging, beauty, or the pressure to keep up, this conversation is an invitation to soften, reflect, and decide what feels true for you, without shame, without rules, and without apology.Connect with Misty:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mistytripoliFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheWorldGROOVEMovement/aboutTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@body_groove?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pcWebsite: https://www.mistytripoli.com/Key Timestamps:[00:00:00] Introduction.[00:00:41] Confronting the big question.[00:01:06] Reaching the age of irrelevance.[00:02:12] My experience with Botox.[00:03:39] Exhaustion from clinging to youthful beauty.[00:05:11] The freedom of invisibility.[00:06:18] How are you embracing aging?Memorable Quotes:“There's a part of it, this invisibility, you know, like being irrelevant is actually quite freeing, you know, not trying to impress anyone or trying to attract anyone, or thinking I have to be something to be important or be beautiful.” – Misty Tripoli“It's crazy, because so much of our value as women is our looks, and as we get older, there's this age of irrelevance, and you just kind of turn invisible.” – Misty Tripoli “I've always felt beautiful, and I still feel beautiful, but it's just different. It's like, it's not that youthful beauty anymore. It's this very mature, you know, seasoned, aged, wrinkled like a fine fruit.” – Misty TripoliProduced by Evolved Podcastinghttps://www.evolvedpodcasting.com/

What happens when you start owning your money, your body, and even your desires? In this episode of Keepin’ It Real, I open up about my sexual awakening, the realization that I’d been performing instead of receiving, and how learning to truly be with my own body changed my confidence, creativity, and relationships.

This conversation is about owning your desires without shame. If you’re ready to feel more alive in your body, clearer in your choices, and more turned on by your own life, this episode will take you there.

You can know all the spiritual money teachings in the world and still be broke if you’re not actually living them. In this episode of Keepin’ It Real, I get honest about the moment I realized that understanding abundance isn’t the same thing as embodying it and how that shift changed my financial reality. I break down what happens when you stop collecting concepts and start applying them in your body, your energy, and your everyday life.

You’ll hear how my relationship with Abraham Hicks moved from “interesting ideas” to a grounded daily practice, why affirmations never worked for me, and why frequency -not positive thinking- is the real language of money and abundance. I share the exact practice I committed to, what it felt like somatically, and how tuning into abundance instead of chasing it led to a very real financial breakthrough.

We also talk about money as feminine energy, why it’s meant to move, and what happens when you stop gripping and start trusting the flow. This episode is for anyone who’s done the mindset work but isn’t seeing results yet, and is ready to turn spiritual knowledge into lived experience, embodied power, and actual money in the bank.

Get ready for a real check-in on your money mindset because in this episode, I’m calling out the sneaky beliefs that quietly limit us. I break down how those old hand-me-down statements like “money is hard to get” shape our reality and show you how to flip them into affirmations that actually support the abundant life you want. If you’ve ever felt blocked around money and couldn’t explain why, this one’s for you.

I walk you through the simple practice that changed everything for me: rewriting the money story I was programmed with. You’ll hear how guidance from Tony Robbins and Abraham Hicks helped me catch my resistance, feel into better thoughts, and line up with abundance in a way that felt real-not forced. It’s honest, it’s practical, and it’ll open up some space inside you.

By the end, you’ll see that abundance isn’t about grinding harder, it’s about shifting the inner script that’s been running your life without permission. I’ll show you how to spot those old beliefs, rewrite them into something empowering, and tune into the frequency of abundance with ease and authenticity. This is your invitation to upgrade your money story-right now!

Self-love isn’t a trend. It’s a lifeline, and in this episode I break down the moment I knew I had to choose myself first. You’ll hear how “marrying myself” became a radical reboot that helped me stop losing my identity in relationships and start honoring my own needs. If you’ve ever felt drained, unseen, or disconnected, this episode shows you what real self-love can look like.

I share how salsa dancing, inner work, and Byron Katie’s teachings helped me dismantle the stories that kept me stuck in unworthiness. We dive into messy truth: why I kept abandoning myself, how I reclaimed my body through movement, and what it took to rebuild confidence from scratch. You’ll learn how embodiment, mindset shifts, and honest introspection create the groundwork for balanced, healthy love.

You’ll also hear how the World Groove Movement was fueled by community, purpose, and people who believed before the money ever showed up. From financial chaos to the birth of Body Groove, this conversation is a raw reminder that healing isn’t linear- but it is possible when you put yourself first. Tune in to learn how to build self-trust, reconnect with your body, and create relationships that actually support you.

What if the thing that breaks you wide open is actually the thing that sets you free? In this episode, I’m getting real about one of the hardest chapters of my life: the moment I found out my partner cheated on me and how that pain cracked me open to my truth, my body, and my purpose. We’re talking about what happens when your world falls apart and how you can use movement, truth, and a little rebellion to find your way back home to yourself.

I’ll share what it looked like to completely fall apart -feeling sick, lost, and disconnected from everything I’d built- and how one wild, simple nudge to “get high and go dance” pulled me out of the dark. That dance changed everything. It helped me release the crap I’d been carrying, reconnect with who I really am, and build something that actually feels like me- what later became the World Groove Movement.

If you’ve ever been betrayed, burned out, or just done pretending you’re okay, this episode is for you. We’ll talk about why community matters, why movement heals, and how owning your story is the most powerful thing you can do. No filters, no fluff, just real talk, real healing, and a reminder that you already have everything you need to rise again.

Ever felt like life knocked you down just when you thought you were finally getting it right? In today’s episode of Keepin’ It Real, I share how multiple “dark nights of the soul” have shaped my journey – and why those moments of breakdown can actually be breakthroughs. You’ll hear about the messy, real process of navigating financial struggles, ignoring red flags, losing everything I built, and still finding the courage to rebuild.

We dive into what it really looks like to trust your instincts, even when desperation tempts you to compromise your truth. I talk about the woman who saw my work and opened the door for me to teach in schools, and the business partner who taught me a very different lesson — one about boundaries, betrayal, and reclaiming my power. This conversation is raw and practical, packed with lessons on what to watch for in partnerships, how to spot red flags, and how to lean on community when you feel stuck.

If you’ve ever faced a setback that made you question your worth, this one’s for you. This episode will remind you that your path isn’t linear — it’s full of detours, wake-up calls, and second chances. Tune in to learn how to move through the dark nights, honor your gut, and come out stronger, clearer, and ready to share your gifts with the world.

What happens when you finally drop the mask and get real about who you are? In this episode of Keepin’ It Real, I’m sharing my own messy, beautiful journey from total burnout to living wide open. You’ll hear how I moved from darkness to light, set boundaries that saved my soul, and how that shift ended up landing me a call from Nike — yeah, Nike.

I’m pulling back the curtain on what it really takes to stop rescuing everyone else and start showing up for yourself. We’ll talk about the loneliness that comes when you choose yourself, why it’s actually a gift, and how meditation, dance, and yoga helped me find my way back to me. If you’re ready to stop saying “yes” when you mean “no,” this one’s for you.

And here’s the kicker — the minute I stopped hustling for approval, opportunities started chasing me. From teaching my own style of classes to traveling the globe with Nike, I’m proof that when you get unapologetically real, doors fly open. This episode will give you the nudge (or the shove!) you need to trust the process, let go, and see what magic shows up.

You are NOT broken — stop trying to fix yourself. In this episode of Keepin’ It Real, I share how I went from scared, broke, and totally lost to fully owning who I am. We dig into why connecting with your authentic self is the key to everything — your healing, your clarity, your power — and how to actually do it.

I get real about hitting rock bottom, losing everything, and how dance became my drug — the thing that plugged me back into Source and lit me up again. I share how I stopped doing “proper” prayers and started talking to God like a best friend (and yeah, I dropped some F-bombs). That’s when the vision for the Groove Method hit me — a global movement to get people out of their heads and back into their bodies.

If you’re ready to stop waiting for permission and start living like you mean it, this one’s for you. It’s time to take back your time, your joy, and your freedom — and I’m gonna show you how.
