In this episode of Life After Cheer, I’m joined by the fabulous Shay Kostobi! Shay is the co-founder of Fitness Career Mastery as well as the founder of Group X Conservatory. Shay and I discuss how to find your “superpower” and how you can apply it to the career that you have today.

Here are some tips for you:

1. [9:58] It’s one thing to perform and wow a crowd, but it’s a whole other thing to use the same skills to get them to do what you’re doing
2. [24:31] The thing about superpowers is that they typically point back to your core beliefs and values
3. [37:59] Teach your voice to say “yes, I can”; it’s okay to be wrong, it’s okay to fail, you can try again, it’s not the end of the world, etc.

For this episode of Life After Cheer, I’m joined by Marc Santa Maria! Marc is the vice president of group fitness at Crunch Fitness! Marc and I discuss following your passion, finding confidence through dance, and why fitness can be a good career path for former dancers and cheerleaders. 

Here are some practical tips for you:

1. [11:15] Trust your instincts; trust your heart, and you can do it; you will figure it out.
2. [21:11] Understand the bigger picture in making a lifestyle change - it’s more about what happens in the future, what my life will look like, etc.
3. [32:06] When you follow your passion and do what you love, it follows you; you build it, and you grow it, and it comes to define you.

For this episode of Life After Cheer, I’m joined by Angela Robbins! Angela is a consultant, CEO, and founder of Moxie Brands! Today,  we discuss perfectionism, including its dangers, and Angela shares her tips for dealing with perfectionism.

Here are some of our tips for you:

1. [08:05] There is a difference between just striving for your best effort and actual, true perfectionism
2. [19:55] You have to zoom out and think about how I can solve these problems, change the world for the better, help more people, etc.
3. [33:07] You are strong enough, and you know what is right, so listen to yourself; listen to that inner voice within yourself - if people are giving you specific feedback, though, you may not be able to listen to yourself

Happy February, Everyone! 

Even though it is February, it is still the beginning of the year. How are your resolutions or goals going so far? No worries if you have fallen off the wagon; we all do. We need to get up, dust ourselves off and reset! 

Today, I'm re-airing an episode from last month that I think is something we all need to hear. (Myself included)  I talk about why people’s resolutions for the New Year don’t work and what you can do instead of these unattainable goals. I will also update you on what is going on with me and my pregnancy! 

In this episode, I mention tips such as:

1. [02:17] Why wait until January to make a new year? This is something you can and should check in on every single day
2. [09:53] Sometimes slowing down is even more critical,and productive because it gives you the reset you need to be focused and motivated
3. [12:33] Don’t overthink things! Sometimes, you need to go for it and learn along the way.

In this episode of Life After Cheer, I come bearing a solo episode! In this solo episode, I discuss how to be a master networker. Networking is a gravely important skill, and being a former cheerleader can help with networking.

Here are some of my tips for you guys:

1. [1:39] To get to where you want to be, it’s not always what you know; it’s who you know
2. [6:54] What works best for me is being casual, being myself, and being genuine - for instance, keeping the emails that I write fun, casual, and light
3. [9:52] The key is in the followups; the key is to be personal in your way; just connecting and being of service to people is going to help you stand out from everybody else

In this episode of Life After Cheer, I talk with Lauri Harris, the executive director of USA Cheer, the governing body of cheer in the United States. Lauri has an extensive history within the cheering industry, starting off with doing varsity cheerleading. Together, we talk about the exciting future of cheer!

Here are some things Lauri and I talk about:

1. [8:50] If it’s not fun, if you’re not enjoying it, it’s not gonna work out for you - you have to find something that’s fun, that you’re passionate about.
2. [19:57] You don’t even realize just how many real-life skills you’re developing until you’re in the real world.
3. [36:19] Even once you’re not cheering anymore, you’re still a leader, you still have those leadership skills, you’re still a part of a team - whether it’s a part of a career or a relationship or friends or whatever it is.

In this episode of Life After Cheer, I talk with Colyn Fiendel, the athletic trainer, coach, and program director for Cheer New York - a non-profit organization comprised solely of all-volunteer LGBTQ+ and ally cheerleaders. Colyn and I talk about what to do when things don’t go according to plan, and just how to let go and move on.

Danielle 

Here are some tidbits I think you might want to remind yourself of:

1. [16:41] You are surrounded by people who are motivating you and lifting you up and giving you the confidence to become the best version of yourself
2. [22:18] Be in the moment, instead of just constantly thinking about what you can do better or what you can do more of.
3. [36:44] You have to take the highs and the lows and that’s going to teach you and help you be where you’re supposed to be, so you’ve got to take that path and journey.

In this episode of Life After Cheer, I talk with Ashley Steinberger. She’s been a past guest on the podcast as well as a registered dietician +  founder of The Cheer Nutritionist! Together, we talk about fitness and nutrition tips right for the new year!

In this episode, Ashley and I discuss topics such as:

1. [03:38] The biggest thing we need to remember with our new year's resolutions is that everyone goes hard when it comes to them - they make up this plan, they’re going to do all of these things, but it rarely ends up being sustainable.
2. [21:35] You are yourself, and the only person who should be evaluating your body and how you feel is you; you should be doing it for yourself
3. [30:41] Sometimes you just have to remember that you need to listen to your body, but when you work out it really doesn’t have to be an hour workout - even just a little bit can be enough.

In this week’s episode of Life After Cheer, I talk with Bridget Case! Bridget is a sports journalist turned Twitch streamer who uses her platform to advocate for mental health. She’s a former pro cheerleader for the NFL and the sports anchor for NBC and CBS station affiliates. Today, we crush those cheerleader stereotypes! 

Tune in for quite the conversation!

In this episode, we talk about the following:

1. [05:38] We’re so much more than the cheerleader, so much more than the professional dancer; there are so many more layers to us as human beings.
2. [23:31] When you’re trying to get a job, be yourself - say what you want to say, don’t say things that you think others want to hear.
3. [31:41] Sometimes, when you are so focused on creating that niche, you can lose who you are, and your passion for what you are doing; more people need to say, "screw the niche. I will be me, "and that’s what you’re coming for.
