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 this inspiring episode, I’m joined by the vibrant and hilarious William, a beloved member of our pole family, who shares his personal journey into pole dancing—starting from self-doubt and curiosity, all the way to finding joy, strength, and community on the pole.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
How William first got curious about pole and what pushed him to try it
The mental blocks and body image doubts many face before stepping into a studio
Why pole is not about what you wear — and what really matters instead
Embracing humor, authenticity, and a fart-friendly community 😄
Encouraging others (yes, YOU) to take the leap despite fear or insecurity
The power of showing up for yourself, just as you are
