We stan therapy of many forms on this channel; it could be seeing a therapist or some form of journaling.
If you or someone you know needs help processing emotions, or dealing with anything, we recommend therapy.
LOVE LANGUAGES! That's what we believe is one of the keys to a successful relationship - ANY relationship. Knowing the other how the person - be it family, friends, romantic partners - loves and would prefer to be loved is a great way to build and fortify a healthy relationship.
Photos of loved ones around the house, or even on our personal social media accounts mean A LOT. So why do (or don't) Krystle, Emeroy and Lauren hang photos around their homes?
On this episode of the Throwing Tantrums Podcast, Lauren, Emeroy and Krystle talk about anything and everything that has to do with relationships.
There are a few juicy Krystle stories here and there, and we get a peek inside Lauren's very interesting and exciting (?) relationship history.
Things and sometimes people make us feel angry. It's something not a lot of people enjoy feeling. Also, not everyone wants to be around an angry person... but it happens.
When it does happen sometimes it takes ME a while to get out. Max shares how they get out of that state of mind quicker so it doesn't fester.
The movie Turning Red really brought up some not-so-pleasant memories for Max and some parental concerns for me.
Listening to your children is important for your relationship with them, and for their development as a person.
Max and I discuss what actors have to go through to get the physique "worthy" of a superhero role.
Growing up being the only "female" child in a Filipino household, Max understands the pressure Mei (Turning Red) and the Madrigal Children (Encanto) feel to be the "perfect daughter" (Alexa, play "Reflection" from Mulan)
While being the "reliable one" may feel kind of nice, the inevitable pressure coming from all sides will definitely test you.
Settling a conflict with other people involves TALKING ABOUT IT. Talking about it is the sucky part, but that's what needs to happen.
If you've been able to resolve a conflict without discussing it, please tell us what sorcery you used.
Admit it: you thought you were such a grown-up when you were a teen. While it's great that we started to become more independent and think for ourselves, we still had a whole lot to learn. We viewed the world through one lens and it didn't always align with reality.
When our parents told us "You'll understand when you're older", we rolled our eyes and said "yeah okay". In our 30's, damn mom was right.
Therapy CAN be expensive. Therapy CAN cost more than just money. But to Max, finding the right reasons to invest in their mental health makes it all worth it.
Most of us love a good rom-com, or anything portraying some sort of onscreen romance. Some of those we aspire to have. But what those onscreen romances don't prepare us for is the post-honeymoon phase part of the relationship, where it gets REAL.
Max and I talk about how our relationship is post-honeymoon phase, and how doing the "right thing" for your partner sometimes isn't pretty or convenient.
Ever feel like you're in a constant battle against yourself?
You're not alone. Millions of people around the world feel like they're constantly fighting an uphill battle. But what can we do to make things feel more manageable?
Join us on our podcast as we discuss ways to help us feel more in control when things seem chaotic.

It wasn't exactly fate or destiny that brought me and Max back together all those years ago. How we got to where we are now in our relationship and our own lives, wasn't a fluke either. We both consciously made life-changing decisions. Making those choices and the resulting changes may have been jarring at first, but here we are, and we couldn't be any happier; polyamory and all.
We’re not going to lie, we were surprised by this topic too. But it’s something that is near and dear to our hearts, so we wanted to share with you what we know about it. It's a conversation that will likely be uncomfortable at times but also one that could change your life for the better if you let it.
In today's clip from the Vision Paradox After Hours podcast, we have a discussion about religion, God, the Law of Attraction... something we never thought we talk about on this podcast.
Survivorship Bias is a concept in which we focus on success stories and not failures. It’s important to understand that there are many more failures than successes in life. This podcast will discuss all of them with witty banter between hosts.

We're all a little bit crazy when it comes to relationships. Jealousy, anger, and fear are all normal parts of the human experience - but that doesn't mean they have to control us.

Whether you're looking for relationship advice or just want to hear some funny stories, this podcast is sure to provide a good laugh. So pull up a chair and join the conversation!
Do you ever feel like your passion is just a hobby?
You’re not alone. We all have passions that we love to do, but sometimes it feels like they are just hobbies and not our purpose in life. But what if there was a way to find out if your passion is actually your purpose? What would happen then?
This week's episode comes straight from The DancePreneuring Studio.
“The true mark of a leader is the willingness to stick with a bold course of action — an unconventional business strategy, a unique product-development roadmap, a controversial marketing campaign — even as the rest of the world wonders why you’re not marching in step with the status quo. In other words, real leaders are happy to zig while others zag. They understand that in an era of hyper-competition and non-stop disruption, the only way to stand out from the crowd is to stand for something special.”
-Bill Taylor
My guest on this session is Emeroy Bernardo, dancer and CEO of Vision Paradox and Artistic Director/Founder of Temper Tantrum Dance Company. He stands for something special and is special in the dance, creative and entrepreneurial world which is why he’s been able to accomplish many things and continues to do so.
Our conversation on leadership started from a comment that I made about being reminded of his leadership journey, then referring to my leadership lessons episode on Session #217, then him expressing that he could say a lot about that topic.
So, this episode came from that initial exchange and I am so glad to share his insights. He is a great example of how to effectively lead yourself and others to more success.
He stood in the gap for me and his other students when I met him coming back to dance in 2014, taking his classes, being challenged but also being encouraged. That is a mark of a true leader.
If you want to know his background, listen to my other episodes that are linked on the bottom and if you search for his name, Emeroy Bernardo, you will come across other interviews, his top selling dance courses on Udemy, as well as his channels on YouTube.
A few takeaways from this session: * Being an effective leader starts with leading yourself * Be intentional with your self-care and a morning routine * Enjoy your process * Be the example * Create a safe space for open communication and expression * Stay curious and learn something new * Don’t be so attached to the outcome * Strike a balance between being serious and having fun * Be aware of your self-talk * You have more control than you think over leading your own life

NFTs, Crypto, Web3 are all the hype right now.
And while it's providing a lot of opportunity for many digital artists, dance has yet to find it's place in the NFT world.

We will talk about everything from a paranormal event that happened during one of our meetings to when we stopped believing in Santa. You won't want to miss this episode!
How has your balance changed overtime?
It's a question that everyone wants to know the answer to. While you can see where you're at now, it's hard to track how much progress you've made over time.
In today's clip, the gang from Vision Paradox shares how their work-life balance has changed over time.
How do you think about risk? What role has it had in your life or career?
The answer to these questions may surprise you. We've all heard that "risk is relative" and while this statement is true, it's also incomplete. It doesn't tell the whole story. To give a better answer we must first define what risk really means for each of us individually, because our definition will determine how we perceive and react to risks throughout our lives.
In today's clip, the Vision Paradox team share their experiences with risk and how it's affected their lives
Most people quit on their dreams because they don't know how to continue. They get discouraged and lose hope.
You'll hear from the Vision Paradox team who have been there before and share what they learned along the way so you can learn from others' mistakes and successes.
Creating a great dance team can be frustrating.
A lot of the time you work with dancers who are not motivated or talented enough to do what it takes to create an amazing show, but you still want them on your team!
There is no magic formula for creating a GREAT dance team, but there are some things that will help make sure they have the best chance possible at success. In today's clip, Emeroy shares what has helped him successfully run his dance teams.
Making content is hard. It's so easy to get stuck in your head, or just never start because you don't know where to begin. There are so many ways to create content these days, but it can be overwhelming if you're not sure what steps to take first. You might even feel like giving up before you've started! In this clip, Emeroy gives advice for people creating their content but aren't sure how they should go about it.
One man, three businesses...
Krystle interviews Emeroy and gets him to talk about VP, one of his other passions.
What is Vision Paradox? Well it's Emeroy's Digital Marketing Agency that just so happens to handle all of Temper Tantrum's digital content.
Dance and Animation. Dance was a constant in Emeroy's life. Emeroy was also working in the animation and game industry. Living proof that you CAN do it all (or most things) if you want it hard enough.

Not all of us are comfortable asking for help. Though it is most often awkward, not being scared to ask for help most often gives you better deals. Be brave in letting people know your financial status especially if a service that you need is above your budget, you'll never know if they are willing to trade services or maybe give you a great installment option. This state of thinking really helped Crystal in a sense that as young as she is, she does not only manage her studio, but she owns it.

Once you dance, you learn, enjoy every inch of choreography, and goof along but things take more to be on the directing part. There are so many decisions to make such as sending people away.

This conversation, however, takes an interesting turn when they start talking about A.I. robots.

"I don't feel like it today."
That statement there is a two-edge sword.
On the one hand it's important to listen to your body and take care of your mental health.
On the the other hand, if you find yourself not "feeling like it" while you've also got goals you want to achieve...
You're only holding your self back. There comes a point where "I don't feel like it" becomes an excuse for laziness.

"You've gotta have the right mindset!"
You hear all that from "motivational speakers" on Instagram.
While I agree that it's 100% important to have the right mindset in whatever you're doing, that advice is pointless if someone doesn't know how to do it.
In today's video, Galit and I give several ways in how to start developing your mindset.

When you're following a path that many have taken, it can be easy to fall into the comparison trap.
I've had personal experiences where I feel like I'm "behind" compared to friends in the dance industry.
But then I ask myself, "Do I really want to take on what I think I want to take on?"
In today's video, I interview Sparkids Head Choreographer, Galit Friedlander. We talk about:
- How to get out of the comparison trap
- Do I need an agency to become a professional dancer
- Is it normal to get a regular job while pursuing your dance career
- What NO ONE tells you after college
- Why you aren't getting booked for auditions
- And much, much more...

Becoming self-aware when you're triggered is a tall order when you're in the heat of the moment.
But those of you who are dying to make a change in how you handle stressful encounters, then being able to be self-aware when you're in that triggered state of mind is a valuable skill.
In today's podcast snippet, Vicki Mae Alvarez shares a few tips in how you can be more self-aware when you're triggered so you can make a more responsible choice instead of a reactive choice.

Auditions can be NERVE-WRACKING.
It doesn't matter how talented you are or how much you practice if you can't perform under pressure. And nothing is more nerve-wracking than a panel of judges with ice-cold stares watching you as you perform your heart out.
In today's video, Chris Marcos shares how he gets mentally prepared for an audition.

As a dancer, creative, artist, it can be tough to appreciate the journey in the middle of struggles.
But it's those moments that make everything worthwhile. And appreciating the journey makes it more gratifying and keeps you sane while you're out there hustling.
In today's episode, Chris Marcos, who played the lead in musicals such as American Idiot and In The Heights, shares his insight of how to appreciate the journey as an artist and as a dancer.

When you're a dancer or creative hustling, personal care is one of the last things on your mind. You're focused on making progress and making things happen.
But if you're exhausted and overworked, your progress might end up coming to a screeching halt. Not all progress involves hustling. Even Leonardo Da Vinci said to "go away for a while." Some times rest IS necessary to help propel you forward. It's the 1 step back to move 5 steps forward mentality.
In today's video, Chris and Emeroy discuss the importance of self care for dancers.

What is the benefit of dance movement therapy?
According to GoodTherapy.com:
Dance/movement therapy, usually referred to simply as dance therapy or DMT, is a type of therapy that uses movement to help individuals achieve emotional, cognitive, physical, and social integration. Beneficial for both physical and mental health, dance therapy can be used for stress reduction, disease prevention, and mood management. In addition, DMT's physical component offers increased muscular strength, coordination, mobility, and decreased muscular tension. Dance/movement therapy can be used with all populations and with individuals, couples, families, or groups. In general, dance therapy promotes self-awareness, self-esteem, and a safe space for the expression of feelings.

Artists don't necessarily have predictable schedules. We don't clock in and out like everyone else.

I think self talk is one of the most underrated tools in our personal growth arsenal.
A lot what we say affects our physiology (https://psychcentral.com/blog/words-can-change-your-brain-2/) (https://www.td.org/insights/how-words-affect-our-brains).
In the moment of failure, when you have no one else to cheer you on, that's where YOU need to talk to yourself for a moment. That's where you need to be your own cheerleader. Your self talk in the middle of those moments are what can help you persevere through the most challenging of times.

Even though there's been a lot of great progress, there's still a lot of negative connotation around mental health and therapy.

Artists and creatives of all kind are bout to face haters. Everyone handles them differently. Some people ignore them while others lean in and engage right back.

Personal care for dancers is probably the last thing many performers think of when they're getting ready for a show.
Many performers have the "show must go on" mentality. As commendable it can be to tough it out, it might have a long-term negative impact for your dancing.
In today's video, Gil, Kassy, and I talk about the importance of personal care for dancers.
If it's anything I want you to take away from today's podcast: it's that anger is a secondary emotion.
It's one of the most powerful lessons I learned when I went to anger management. Beyond the anger is the primary emotion you're actually feeling, it might be fear, sadness, disgust, or something else.

There are a lot of instances where our bodies will hold on to certain past experiences.
As a dancer or performer, not only is it important to fully utilize our body for our craft, but also to listen to it.
Your body is a blabber mouth.
It definitely speaks up when you're injured or hurt. But it also speaks to you when you're not hurt, and those messages aren't always as clear as day. Which is why having a proper coping mechanism or seeing a therapist can help you see things from a different perspective.

Growing up, I always found dance as "theraputic." But I never thought it would be an official way of therapy. I've benefitted from the affects of going to therapy and being a dancer. Which is why I was fascinated when I heard about dance/movement therapy.

- What is dance/movement therapy.
- The benefits of dance/movement therapy.

Fuck being efficient. Learn to be effective first.
A lot of people are trying to get things done faster. Focus on the things that move the needle forward, THEN go focus on being efficient on THAT.
Today's question came from my YouTube show, EmeroyTV, but I felt compelled to share it. It's long, but here's the essence of it: How Do I Tell My Wife To Change Her Dance Career?
NO.
There is no justification in telling your wife to change her dance career because it embarrasses you.
That sounds like a YOU problem. If she's loving her dance career then you should be supporting the shit out of her. Don't project your insecurities and force change on her because you don't like it.
Spend time with the ones you love.
They don't come out with a new model every 18 months. To keep it real and God forbid, the might even be gone within that time frame.

Hiking with my son is metaphorical. i want him to get his hands dirty, i want him to enjoy the journey, and i want him to know that if he needs help, I'll be there for him.
While it's my responsibility to teach Jordan everything I can as he's growing up, he's indirectly teaching me some valuable lessons as well.⠀
EVERYONE SUCKS AT THE BEGINNING.
If you want to be great at whatever is you want to pursue you've got to tough it out during the awkward phase of sucking.
Some might have more talent than others, but that's no reason to not try.
Because I promise you the work you put in compounds and builds up to something.
EMPATHY is NOT SYMPATHY.
Sympathy = "Aw poor you."
Empathy = "Hey man, I get what you're going through. It sucks."
If you want to feel more connected to other people in your life, empathy is key.
But it's not gonna be easy. You've got to get over your own ego and judgement to truly put yourself in someone else's shoes. It's listening to understand, not listening to reply.
Getting back into something you're passionate about can be tough if you've been away from it for so long. It can almost feel like you're starting from the beginning.
In today's #GrowFriday episode on #EmeroyTV I jam out with some friends about:
- Returning to dance after 20 years of working corporate
- Annett, Emani, and Sultan's answers on getting started for beginners.
- How they all discovered dance and became obsessed with it.
- And much more
EVERYONE can be a personal brand now thanks to the internet. But are you using it to genuinely connect with your audience or are you using it for vanity?
In today's episode of #MoveGrooveGrow I chat with a fellow social media agency owner, Trenton Samuel. We talk about
- Social media and your personal brand.
- The importance of knowing your audience.
- A KEY element to have before taking anyone as a client.
- My company's 70/30 rule when it comes to posting content.
- Leveraging data to IMPROVE your content
- Letting feedback guide you, not define you.
The fact is for those of you who are hesitant to do you to do what you want to do because you’re afraid of some opinions from other people.
They’re already going to be passing opinions about you anyways.
People who are doing real things are too busy trying to build something for themselves don’t have time to put others down.
They don’t have time for that.
They’re too busy grinding and hustling. Thing is most people are too busy with their own lives to really give a shit so go out and do you
If you've ever said I'm over this... certain betrayal... this certain hurt, but for some reason something in the present moment triggers you. That means there's another lesson to learn.
Much like there are beginner to advanced levels in dancing, the same goes to mastering what triggers you.
VISION dictates your goals and actions.
BUUUTTT--
What if you haven't figured that out yet?
Ever wondered why certain situations trigger you?
I believe that whatever triggers you, is where the lesson is.
It's the "end of your comfort zone" all those inspirational quotes on Instagram talk about.
And here's the truth, if you don't figure out how to process what triggers you, it will keep coming back in one way or another. Why? Because it's a part of you, and your life doesn't change until you change.
Ever had a crappy 15 minutes, but you let it bother you for the rest of the day? this is for you.
When life punches you in the face what do you do?
Do you get angry? Try to numb it with alcohol or drugs? Ignore it and never process it?
There are A MILLION THINGS we can't control, and that feeling multiplies when shit hits the fan.
It's important that you focus on this ONE THING when times are both good and bad.
Sometimes you need to take a few steps back in order to be launched forward.
Cliche? Yes.
Does it make it any less true? No.
The worst thing you can do is to take those steps back and stay there.
It's funny how patience plays such an important roll in everything... but it's such a hard thing to practice.
It's even harder for many to be patient with themselves. You are at the center of how your life plays out... if you aren't loving and patient with yourself, things will be MUCH harder for you.
Why be your own worst enemy when you can be your own best friend?
This one is super short and to the point.
This is something that's always on my mind whenever me or someone I know is going through a rough time.
The funny thing is...
It's one thing to know what you can do, it's another thing to actually do.
Social media, more specifically, the internet, has definitely made it easier for us to connect with each other.
It's given people the opportunity to make money that we couldn't decades ago. But it's also become a place where many people are trying to show off their #BestLifeEver.
Ever wonder why?
You know you've got some work to do if you end up in jail. It was the last place I ever thought I would be... but it also turned out to be the best place for me to learn.
I'm not at all a religious guy. I do, however, believe in a God. I'm not here to push any belief or any religion, but I do believe that there is a higher power at work always trying to point me to the direction I need to go in order for me to grow.
Where you are is perfect. Whether it's good or bad... it's EXACTLY where you need to be in order to become the best version of yourself. Every situation we experience is feedback we can use to constantly improve.
A lot of us relate productivity with the amount of things we get done and the amount of hours we put in.
But one of the biggest things people overlook is that productivity is also a management of energy.
If you don’t have the energy, your 10 hours of work will be crap compared to someone who put’s 3 hours of work in but has had a quality nights sleep.
Imagine being able to be productive for about the MAJORITY of your day.
It doesn't matter how efficient you can do something. If it's not related to the overall goal then you're not being effective.
Our greatest responsibility isn't to find a good job, make lots of money, or get married... It's much bigger than that.
there are going to be days when things just don't go your way.
You might get into an argument with your spouse, get reemed by your boss, or get cut off in traffic.
Or even worse, you might lose a job.
Learning how to Pivot and shift can help you get out of your rut and towards the direction you want.
Finding purpose, happiness, success, and fulfillment isn't something everyone can find through the blueprint society gave us.
You got to be willing to quiet the white noise in order to find your true voice.
The first step towards anything new can be scary, but there's only one way to find out if it's the right path.
Should you put on your strengths or improve on your weaknesses? Here are my thoughts on that
There's a lot of things we all want to get done and scratch off on our to-do list. But sometimes constantly working and grinding can be counter-productive.
It's barely February and I'm already seeing people to clear the 2018 is a shitty a year. It would have to say to that
While it's great to current a lot of money or earn titles or even when championships, this one thing is much more important than anything else
You can have the most bulletproof plan... But you still never really know how things will pan out
It's very easy to point the finger at other people when you're feeling triggered and say you feel misunderstood. Instead of seeking to be understood seek to understand yourself
Today I saw the result of what happens when a company focus more on the product instead of the people.
How do you make sure you are always producing on a consistent level without burning out?
If you have got projects, family, meetings, and a million other things on your plate, how do you best manage your time?
If you are committed to creating success and feeling fulfilled then you'll realize that apps, hacks, books or another course aren't always the answer. It's people.
