Special bonus episode! Kristen Marconi & Jess Bancroft are the wellness event producers aka “magic makers” for Daybreaker Sydney. Daybreaker is a morning dance community of over half a million members in 28 cities around the world that inspires humans to start their day unlike any other—by waking up and dancing in iconic spaces, sober, first thing in the morning. All their events start with a one hour yoga + fitness experience and then they dance together with a whole lot of other fun surprises for two hours bringing each event to a close with meditation, group intention, and performances.

The next Daybreaker event is going to be on the 28th of February 2020 in Centennial Park, and I’m excited to be collaborating with them on this remarkable event.
