I wrote a blog titled “Aerial Homelessness.” It’s the term I use when you leave your aerial community and feel a sense of emotional displacement due to the loss of relationships, a safe space and potentially, your aerial practice. I wasn’t expecting to receive so many responses from aerialists all over the world who feel this way. Ari reached out and I offered her to come on the pod and share her experience as a contract freelancer. She’s constantly chasing the feeling she had earlier in her practice when she had the magical combination of the right space and people to train with. Find her HERE
