In this week’s episode, I’m talking about a recent setback I had after dancing in a way I haven’t been able to for 6 ½ years. While the celebration of dancing this way felt AMAZING, the setback that followed was unexpected… but this setback also revealed a few HUGE WINS and gave me feedback that I’ll now use as a SETUP for more!

[2:00] How setbacks can be a GIFT in your life

[3:10] Why I celebrate every single year of life & the gift of getting older… & the unexpected setback that came after celebrating turning 40 recently

[7:05] A special THANK YOU note for all of you who have been supporting me on my journey to dance again

[8:00] The surprising pain setback that hit me 4 days after dancing again

[9:20] The frustration and let down that came after realizing that parts of my body weren’t ready to dance again just yet

[10:13] How I used my brain to shift my focus and energy from the things my body was telling me I couldn’t do, to celebrating the things I COULD!
