Welcome to Episode 129 where we talk to Joseph Corella, Choreographer, Broadway performer, dance teacher, and fitness instructor, but at his core, Joseph is a teacher.

Joseph Corella is a Choreographer, Broadway performer, dance teacher, and fitness instructor, but at his core, Joseph is a teacher.

Using his dance, theatre, and fitness background, he has traveled the globe, spreading this love and understanding of the importance of movement. Joseph's connection to movement started in his early childhood with extensive training in jazz, tap, contemporary, and ballet. At thirteen, he became a member of famed choreographer Marguerite Derricks' prestigious dance company, Tremaine Teen Company, and shortly thereafter appeared in Disney's Geppetto alongside pop superstar Usher.

Joseph then moved to New York City where he debuted on Broadway in All Shook Up and subsequently toured the US with productions of Grease (Dance Captain) and West Side Story. Other theatrical credits include: Surf: The Musical, CATS, Altar Boyz, Guys and Dolls, and much more. Building on his dance and vocal talent, Joseph studied at the Lee Strasberg Theater and Film Institute in New York City and honed his comedic skills with Upright Citizens Brigade.

As a choreographer, Joseph has been asked to choreograph on a number of high-profile projects ranging from the hit Lifetime reality show Dance Moms, the HBO special A Quinceañera Story, MTV Video Music Awards, CW's Hart of Dixie & much more! Joseph has also choreographed for numerous recording artists including Neon Trees & 98 Degrees!

Joseph's proudest accomplishment to date is creating 567BROADWAY! an all-levels dance fitness class. This idea was born out of Joseph's desire to create, encourage, and provide an inclusive sense of community where EVERYONE could have a safe space to dance and start their fitness journeys. 567BROADWAY! is a fun dance fitness experience that fuses the magic of Broadway with cardio and strength training to give you a full-body workout! Featuring hit songs such as "One" (A Chorus Line), "Born to Hand Jive" (Grease), "Bend and Snap" (Legally Blonde), "You Can't Stop The Beat" (Hairspray), and more, ALL LEVELS WELCOME!

What I have found is that joseph creative, warm, perceptive with the heart of a teacher. The proof of this is how It's hard to not feel welcome, accepted and challenged all at the same time. Definitely one of his gifts.

In this episode Joseph shares his journey to authenticity, and how dance was so therapeutic and healing along the way. We discuss what self-care is all about risking rejection and detaching from toxicity to be who you were always meant to be, yet the alternative to NOT honoring who we truly are is much worse. Finding who we are and using our gifts is how we organically become a person who can help others do the same. Using dance for expression and healing is one of the best ways to do this.

Key Elements:

• Joseph describes his journey of finding and expressing his authentic self.
• Talk about how setting limits and letting go of those who cannot support us.
• Discuss how "dance magic" is so therapeutic and possible for all of us to experience.

"When you dance,

you can enjoy the

luxury of being you."

Welcome to Episode 128 where we explore how being intentional helps us to feel grounded and empowered.

In this episode we talk about being focused on who you want to be and what you intend for yourself this holiday season. Being prepared and getting back to yourself, means taking your power back from maybe years of being compliant, of being enmeshed with family or others and losing who you are over time. Maybe its about people pleasing you want to stop and refocusing on yourself can feel scary invigorating or simply peaceful. Join us as we wrap up this month and prepare for the holidays!

Key Elements:

• Defining your intentions for the holidays, especially for yourself.
• Talk about finding the moments to live out these intentions.
• Discuss how preparing and rehearsing how we want to interact makes it more plausible that we can honor ourselves in the moment.

When your intention is clear,

so is the way.

Welcome to Episode 127 where we talk about going home for the upcoming holidays well…different.

In this episode we talk about how this is the time of year we may be "going home" in a sense – seeing family and old friends perhaps after a long time. With Covid, that may well be most people's reality and so this may be a big adjustment. I have many clients who have felt secretly relieved that they couldn't go home last year due to the pandemic because it gave them a reprieve. This year more people plan to get together, so here we go. If you've been working on yourself this year – maybe last - you just might be Going back DIFFERENT and that can be an interesting situation. We talked about how you may be changing, and how to operate in a now unfamiliar territory.

Key Elements:

• Look at how you might be changing, and how you can tell.
• Explore ways that you changing may be challenging for your family.
• Focus on ways to take care of yourself and metabolize this new reality.

There is a kind of "magicness"

about going far away and

then coming back all changed.

Welcome to Episode 126 where we explore how to embrace the letting go that's necessary when we outgrow relationships.

In this episode we talk about one of the "side effects" of growing and changing, and taking our lives in a different direction. When we heal, we want better, and so we begin to need better in our environments to support this new information. Our bar gets raised in terms of how we want to be treated, and how we value personal responsibility and whatever other new values we are now living out. We therefore may outgrow those we love; working through this process is what we cover in this episode.

Key Elements:

• Discuss signs you may already be outgrowing loved ones.
• Address the process of letting go of control of others.
• Talk about how to do this with family members around the holidays.

Welcome to Episode 121 where we explore the areas we most need to look at when we are focusing on changing for the better.

In this episode we get down into identifying some important areas to look at so we can see if we need to work on some things to become healthier. These areas I believe hold the components for a confident, healthy self. They are also crucial if we want to have healthy relationships. Know that when you start in one area, you will eventually get to all the others because growth begets growth. When we get healthier in one area it makes us look at the others. This is a great thing and can help guide you through the process. All you have to do is show up with an earnest heart and willingness to do the work.

Key Elements:

• Identify key problem areas that hold our core issues.
• Recognize the impacts of making changes in each area.
• Normalize some of our fears about changing.
