Episode 15: Beginner’s Mindset

Welcome to Fit, Fierce, and Fearless, the podcast by GenX Pole Arts! I’m Zen (Nancy Adzentoivich), here to celebrate women over 40 finding strength, confidence, and community through pole dancing.‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ ‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ ‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ ‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ ‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ 

In today's solo episode, I’m sharing the personal story behind my stage name, "Zen," and why I founded Gen X Pole Arts. This isn't just about pole dancing — it's about reclaiming curiosity, energy, and passion, even when life feels heavy. If you're feeling exhausted, disconnected, or like you're stuck in a rut, this episode is a loving nudge to embrace a beginner's mindset and ask, "What else is out there for me?" Whether it's through movement, painting, singing, or anything else that lights you up, the invitation is simple: don't give up on yourself.‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ ‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ 

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• The real reason I chose "Zen" as my stage name

• How midlife can make us feel disconnected — and how to reignite curiosity

• The importance of adopting a beginner’s mind when life feels stagnant

• My personal story about boredom, the 80s, and why only boring people get bored 😉

• A reminder that rest is important — but so is reigniting your energy and seeking out joy

• How Gen X Pole Arts offers community, support, and inspiration for this journey

Rest when you need to — and then remember to ask yourself, what else is out there for me? Stay curious. Stay open. Shake things up. You are never too old or too tired to create a life you love.‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ ‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍
