In this episode, I'm speaking with Melissa Drake about a range of current topics including the Coronavirus and her new book, TranscenDANCE: Lessons from Living, Loving, and Dancing.

In her book, Melissa unfurls a narrative which is part memoir and part self-help relating dance to complex life stories and themes including trauma, codependency, self-sabotage, mental health, addictions, and recovery.

An absolute gem of a guest, this chat is full of banter and lessons for all — especially in these trying times — regardless if dancing is your thing or not.
