In this episode, I catch up with my friend Ryan to talk about his winding, very real journey through performing, teaching, and growing up. We get into everything from being adopted in Texas and raised in New Jersey, to studying theatre at Wagner, discovering Pure Barre (where we met, trained together, and eventually became lead teachers), and how those early New York years shaped our friendship.

Ryan shares what it was like juggling college theatre, the Disney College Program, every position at Pure Barre, and the pressure to hustle nonstop — and how all of that eventually taught him what burnout actually feels like. We talk about navigating post-grad life, finding stability in creative careers, learning what truly fuels you, and figuring out your worth so you are able to say no.

It’s honest, funny, nostalgic, and full of the kind of perspective you get once you’re on the other side of it.

Join me and Tara Charvat while we sit down to look back on where it all started — from our childhood studios and college dance memories to navigating the transitions that come with growing up in the dance world. We talk about the pressure of perfection, learning discipline at a young age, and how those lessons followed us long after the costumes and competitions ended.

We also dive into how dance shaped our confidence, friendships, and identity, and how we’ve both learned to redefine success as our dreams evolved. It’s an honest and nostalgic conversation full of laughter, perspective, and the kind of real talk that reminds you it’s okay to change direction — even when the dream looks different than you pictured.

In this episode, I get real about what it’s actually like to start over — from moving across states to rebuilding routines and figuring out who you are in the in-between.

I share the behind-the-scenes of every big move I’ve made — college, New York, and finally Texas — what each one taught me, the meltdowns along the way, and the unexpected magic that happens when you let yourself begin again.

This one’s for anyone standing on the edge of change — scared, curious, or craving something new.

It’s the first solo episode — just me, a mic, and a whole lot of thoughts about letting go of control (and leftover Halloween candy). I talk about learning to deal with the things that don’t go your way, finding balance between frustration and peace, and how to reset when your brain won’t stop spiraling.

From Ratatouille costumes and overbuying candy to journaling, walks without headphones, and “it’s not that deep” energy — this one feels like a cozy catch-up with a friend who just gets it.

I also open up about how my Potentially Gabby brand started, how journaling helped me find my voice, and what it’s really been like trusting the universe in this new chapter.
