SPACE 2 ELEVATE: Recent Episodes
Ola Papiór
Hello beautiful people, my name is Ola Papiór and for over 20 years my life has been all about dance and a creative lifestyle. I decided to use my voice and this platform to help us build strong and successful mindsets. In this Space2elevate you'll find conversations with other creatives on their journey as well as me sharing my thoughts. Enjoy!
In this episode, my flatmate Gabija Cepelyte joined me on our couch for a little talk.
We talked a little bit more about studying dance in the UK in different forms. We also talked about what does it mean to be a dance producer and how we can utilise our dance knowledge. Gabi also shared a little bit about how she is overcoming her barriers as a dancer. Make sure you follow www.instagram.com/space2elevate.

Amongst other interesting topics of course. 😏 I hope you enjoy it. If you do, let us know! :) @space2elevate on Instagram, see you there!

I'm super happy to share the first solo episode in the Space 2 Elevate. This time I talked more about the idea of rest and how foreign it can be to us sometimes. I also added a little bit more to the quote I posted on Instagram about building dreams and why that approach can be more valuable for us. I hope you'll enjoy it!

I’m talking a little bit more about the idea of 4 sets that can lead to balance and how that reflects on fear and time. Let me know your thoughts!

If you ask what character trait a dancer or creative has to have, confidence would be most likely somewhere in the top 5. In theory, we know how much power it has but in practice, we all struggle to harness it. I decided to create this episode to give us a little bit more understanding of what confidence really is? What does it give us? Where do we struggle with it? and how we can work on it? I work on confidence with a lot of my coaching clients as well. If you'd like to work on it with me visit my website www.olapapior.com and simply drop me a message through a contact form.
This episode might be a little different from others but I decided to be transparent and share how I feel. Authenticity is one of the most important values for me and I want this podcast to represent that as well. I'm letting you in a little bit more on my vulnerable side to show you that even after 20 years you can have some worries. Everything I said honestly proves how important it is for creatives to actively work on their mindset. Without it, it's extremely easy to get lost in this world.

I'm not gonna lie, I had loads of fun recording this episode. I went on a journey with an analogy that connects very well with the life of a dancer. I feel that everyone who does something creative might relate with it as well. Have a listen to find out what I compared dance to. It's amazing how everything at the end is still connected with self-work and self-awareness. I work a lot on this aspect with my clients in every ELEVATE program.

In this episode I went on a journey with our habits. To be more precise the one when we like to complain. What is the deal with that? Are we trying to cover something? Or we're afraid to be optimistic? I'm gonna try to question this and everything related to it. Hopefully leaving you with another perspective on your conversations. It's a good reminder that what we focus on is what will stay with us. I work on this a lot with my clients in every ELEVATE program.

This time a dived a little deeper into talking about the present moment and questioned if we appreciate it enough? I also took it further and made a little comparison with our creative work. How being present relates to our creative lives? Have a listen to find out. Also I finally managed to compare dance to wine... Enjoy ;)
In this episode I'm sharing a little bit more about a problem I started seeing and how it got me to discover a new path. I'm also gonna tell you a little bit more about the question that has changed a lot for me and why. All in the spirit of reinforcing you, my listener! You are great :)
This episode is a result of a very interesting question I was asked by one of my students. It sparked the whole waterfall of thoughts and I decided it'll be worth putting it into a podcast episode in case anyone else has the same question. Have a listen if you want to hear what was the mysterious question and see how you feel about it aswell.
In this episode I question our internal dialog. Our brain can trick us a little bit but once we know who we are really talking with then we're in charge. Tune in for some stories from my own experience and some ideas on how we can all be friends with these voices.
Hello beautiful people, my name is Ola Papiór and for over 20 years my life has been mostly about dance and creative lifestyle. I decided to use my voice and this platform to talk through some topics that might need some more attention than we think. My dream for this podcast is to be the light for those who need it and the motivation to seek for more. Enjoy :)
