Nova is a performance artist and coach, and the founder of Dreams in Motion, a dance and circus arts company that blends creative expression, mental wellness, and movement-based coaching to support personal growth — with intentional space-making for neurodivergent individuals and people of color. Drawing from her years in theater and circus arts, Nova shares how bold life choices, self-inquiry, and sacred solitude helped her reconnect with her authentic self. From acting school to founding her own business, she describes what it means to live “ten toes down” — grounded in purpose, identity, and creative flow.

We explore the importance of protecting your energy, listening to your nervous system, and how authenticity can be both a brave act and a radical form of rest.
