Welcome to the premiere episode of the "Creating Victory Podcast," where we dive into the inspiring life of Amy Jordan—dancer, choreographer, author, and your host. In this debut episode, Amy shares her remarkable journey from facing life-altering challenges to dancing on the world's stages, embodying the spirit of our motto: "Get Over It and Make It Happen."

Diagnosed with type 1 diabetes as a child and overcoming a near-fatal accident that threatened to end her dance career, Amy's resilience has not only shaped her path but has also inspired her to give back through her art. Today, Amy leads The Victory Dance Project, a dance company that celebrates human potential and the power of movement.

In this episode, Amy opens up about:

  • Her early love for dance and how it has been a constant source of strength and expression throughout her life.
  • The challenges of managing health issues like diabetes and an eating disorder from a young age, and how these experiences have influenced her approach to wellness and fitness.
  • The life-changing day in 2009 when she was struck by a bus, detailing her thoughts and emotions through her recovery and her motivation to promise a "Victory Dance" if she survived.
  • The creation and impact of The Victory Dance Project, which aims to "Make the Impossible Possible with the Power of Movement."
  • The process of writing her book, "Dance Because You Can," and what she hopes readers will gain from her story.
  • The making of her documentary feature film, which has resonated with audiences around the globe, and the feedback that has touched her deeply.
  • What's next for Amy, including upcoming projects and initiatives she's excited about.
