Pointe To Rise

Kristin Deiss and Michelle Loucadoux have a shared sixty years in the dance industry. Both have worked extensively as professional dancers and are well-versed and experienced in the realm of dance education. After working together in the education field for seven years, the idea of Danscend was born because of an overwhelming need that Deiss and Loucadoux observed in their students. No stranger to the need for mental health awareness, both creators wrestled with various issues in their professional dance careers as well. In Danscend, Deiss and Loucadoux have created a resource that they wish was available when they were beginning their dance careers, a resource that will benefit not only their students but also the dance industry as a whole. 

In this episode, Kristin and Michelle share the importance of one’s mental well-being is in the ability to show up as your very best self on stage off stage in the studio as a dancer and a human being.

So much ♥,

This episode is the most requested, the most listen to episode from the original Money & Art series with Christy and Susanne. 

Replay Thursday back from March of this year. Enjoy.

Today Christy & Susanne really explore the energy behind their beliefs of Money. 

Susanne opens up about her inner thoughts. "Money is energy, and I want to start with, here's how I felt when I heard that for the first time. It's like, are you kidding me? Money isn't energy. And how can, how can it be energy? Money is tangible. Money buys things, money. That piece of paper makes this world.

Susanne: [00:18:10] Like even it has to do with our filter, with our reticular activating system. If we don't believe we can, well, then it will show us only the example said will prove yes

Christy: [00:21:11] Cause that was the example I saw. Exactly. That was the energy that we were consistently in. And it is so hard to...

Susanne: [00:37:16] When you believe the path will open up within you will get ideas, you will know what to say. You will know instinctually what kind of actions to take.

So honoured you have joined us today,

So Much ❤

Susanne

Susanne shares how an event this past week reaffirmed her resolve to reframe old stories and events. From her readings, she pulls this quote, "First, if you want to change the fruits, you will first have to change the roots. If you want to change the visible, you must first change the invisible." ~ secret of a millionaire mindset.

Christy & Susanne connecting this week over events in their lives this past week. Come join us with no judgment. We are holding space to learn, laugh, and downright pointe at ourselves.

In the performing arts, we are so clung to a certain way success needs to look, and if we're not getting there, we never made it. In this episode, we challenge you to think about what success really means to you—not the industry, not your friends, not your parents, not your teachers, but you. Christy and I also share our former experiences and perspectives of what success looked like and what success looks like to us now.

Thank you for listening,

So much ♥,

Susanne & Christy
