"We all start somewhere."

When Megan Fairchild started dancing at 4 years old, she didn't know she would become a principal dancer on the world-renown New York City Ballet.

I had the pleasure of talking with Megan Fairchild today about her take on some of the key factors that affect human happiness. We talked about positive emotions like inspiration and hope, we discussed resilience and diversifying your friendships, she talked about how her practice of meditation transformed her life at critical moments. She described the transcendence of flow experience during a full-length ballet performance. She talked about the mind-body connection and how much that affects her happiness. Ultimately she talked about how her mission in life is to push herself outside of her comfort zone no matter your age or stage of life.

I was deeply inspired by Megan and I hope you take the time to listen to this episode in its entirety!
