Conquering Comparison In Dance Workshop: SIGN UP HERE

Comparison is one of the biggest hurdles dancers face — and the common advice to “just stop comparing” doesn’t actually work. The truth? Comparison is automatic. But you can change how you respond to it.

In this episode, I share a client story that sparked a powerful reframe: turning comparison into support. You’ll learn practical steps to:

✨ Notice when comparison shows up
✨ Recognize your own unique gifts
✨ Reframe envy into admiration and encouragement
✨ Commit to the process of building confidence and resilience

If you’ve ever felt stuck in comparison, this conversation will give you tools to shift your mindset, lift up others, and create a more supportive dance environment.

🎧 Plus, I’ll give you a sneak peek into my upcoming

 Comparison Workshop, designed to help dancers understand the roots of comparison, develop real-time tools to redirect it, and leave with a personalized action plan.

In this powerful episode, we’re challenging the outdated and damaging concept of the “ideal” dancer body. Inspired by a real conversation in my group coaching program, I’m sharing the unconventional advice that helped dancers feel relief, freedom, and power — starting with this: you don’t need to know your weight.

We’ll explore why the scale isn’t a true measure of your value, how focusing on numbers can harm your performance and well-being, and why it’s time to rethink audition requirements like listing your weight. Your ideal dancer body isn’t about a number — it’s about dancing your best, recovering fully, and feeling strong and confident.

You’ll hear:

• Why dancers are ditching the scale — and what they gain instead

• The truth about weight on a resume and what you can focus on instead.

• How to define your ideal weight in a way that supports both artistry and health

• The mindset shift that unlocks sustainable body peace and food freedom

This episode is your invitation to let go of unrealistic expectations and step into a more empowering, joyful approach to your dancer body. 💫

Your food relationship — how you think, feel, and act around food — shapes everything from your energy to your performance.

In this episode, we explore why this often-overlooked foundation matters before you focus on food choices or physique goals.

You'll reflect on the influences that shaped your current mindset, unpack outdated beliefs, and start imagining a more peaceful, supportive connection to food.

Whether you feel stuck in restriction, guilt, or confusion, this conversation will guide you toward more ease, joy, and confidence in fueling your body.

This year marks 10 years of The Whole Dancer!! It's an incredibly exciting time so my amazing assistant, Tatum and I decided to share an episode where she asks me 10 (it turned out to be more than that) questions in celebration of The Whole Dancer.

In this episode I share some things I've rarely (or never) spoken about and you'll get to hear more about my "why" behind The Whole Dancer.

Audition season goal: land a paid dance job.
Reality: it might take a few tries—and that’s okay.

In this episode, we explore how to reduce stress and stay motivated with an inspired backup plan—a path that still supports your dance career without feeling like a detour. You'll learn how to:

• Identify what’s missing (training, experience, exposure)

• Build a plan that excites you, not one that feels like giving up

• Use location, mentorship, and resources to stay on track

💡 A backup plan isn’t settling—it’s progress on a different timeline.

In the world of professional ballet today, there’s a structure that can leave dancers feeling stuck. Before you can get a paid company position, you often have to go through years of trainee programs, 2nd company positions, or other-named post pre-professional training programs. It’s a slow process.

This podcast episode will help you bring strategy to the experience.

In this episode, I’m opening up about my own experiences with body changes throughout my dance journey—navigating puberty, dealing with layoffs, and adjusting to life after stepping away from the stage.

But I know I’m not alone. So many dancers face intense aesthetic pressures and struggle with how their bodies change over time. We’ll talk about the emotional toll this can take and how we can all work toward embracing these changes with more compassion.

I’ll also share thoughts on finding support through therapy, coaching, and community. This is a conversation about resilience, acceptance, and finding strength in every phase of the dance journey.
