Ever felt invisible? Like you’ve faded into the background of your own life? Yeah, me too. In this episode of Keepin’ It Real, I open up about the gut-punch of feeling irrelevant—especially as we age. I share my own experience on the dance floor, where I once thrived, only to realize that the attention I once had? Gone. But this isn’t just about dancing—it’s about how we navigate change and the emotions that come with it.
But what if invisibility wasn’t a curse but a freakin’ superpower? I talk about flipping the script, ditching external validation, and finding real joy. When you stop worrying about who’s looking, you show up for yourself in the most powerful way—no pressure, no proving, just raw, unfiltered self-expression.
If you’ve ever felt sidelined, this episode is for you. I keep it real about the struggle but, more importantly, the freedom that comes with embracing this new phase of life. Tune in for a bold, body-positive take on aging, self-worth, and owning your power—on and off the dance floor.
