Dance your heart out! Tiler Peck, Prima Ballerina at the New York City Ballet, chats about the passion, dedication, and resilience that it takes to become a professional ballerina. She talks about how she's able to get through her long weeks (you will NOT believe the schedule of a ballerina!), and how she rests and recovers. Tiler dives into the debilitating neck injury that almost ended her dancing career, and how she made a recovery that 6 doctors told her she'd never make. Robin and Tiler discuss finding purpose in life outside of your career, how to prioritize your mental wellbeing, and why you should always bet on yourself. Get a dancer's mindset after listening to this one! More info at www.ivegotasecretwithrobinmcgraw.com
