Pointe To Rise: Recent Episodes
Susanne Puerschel
Hi, I am Susanne, a former international Ballerina, mother to 3 boys, turned entrepreneur. I am committed to raising the bar in the ballet community and starting conversations that not only empower dancers but create change in this industry. Get all the tools you need to take action, stop chasing what doesn't work, and turn your passion into profit. Connect to yourself from within, bust through your fears, and push yourself to new levels. Be prepared so when the music stops you have a plan that will ensure your success on and off the stage.
This is a podcast for anyone in the performing arts community who wants more in their life, business or relationships. I feel that these conversations need to be broken down and discussed so that we don’t lose sight of who we are and what we can be. I want my story to end in triumph just as much as I want it for every single performing artist.
Pointe at yourself to rise, to all that you are capable of.

To is a conversation of self-reflection around blame.
Do I own 100% responsibility for where I am right now?
Are we taking ownership of where we are and who we are interacting with?
How many times a day are you pointing fingers at everyone else other than owning
that you are where you are right now as a result of the choices you have made?
Stop blaming others you are in charge of your life.

I wanted to talk to you about stretching today. I was sitting at the beach a few days ago and I remembered what my word for the year was, and that was stretch, to stretch myself, to stretch my mind and all kinds of impulses and emotions came in. Not, only because I myself feel right now stretched so much - I ask for it this from a place of calm. Today I share how I reflect on this and more.

It has been a little time since we chatted and thank you for allowing me the grace. Lately, I just have not felt creative to chat at all. There has been a lot of learning going on in my world. With the birth of RISE I am learning daily tons of new ways to think and how I am choosing to step into the role of a tech founder.
Today I express my view on failure and how it has shown up in the past few weeks. Truly thank you for listening, and for allowing me to share a few moments of your time.

Stepping away and letting yourself create space to take messy actions is not only freeing, it also requires a lot of energy.
I found myself over the past weeks taking a lot of actions, unsure of whether they would lead to anything or not. And I not only gained so much clarity but I also learned the more I am willing to fail and miss step, the less I actually do and the more I find answers to questions I didn't know I had. In today's episode, you will learn - why messy action leads to clarity - why do we resist imperfect actions - my personal journey of imperfect action leading to R.I.S.E. Media.

Today's conversation is exploring the possibilities of blockchain technology with Lisa Seery. Lisa is helping us to weed through the jungle of new terminology and to form an understanding of what blockchain, web3.0, NFT, and Token actually stand for. So why did I invite Lisa to the show - because I deeply believe that web3.0 technology holds the answer to the consistent shortage of money within the arts. It is a technology that will allow us to eradicate the starving artist mentality and the earlier we empower ourselves with knowledge around it the faster we can act upon creating change that will impact future generations of artists worldwide. About Lisa:
Lisa spent 15 years working in the investment industry and climbing the corporate ladder before leaving her VP role to pursue her calling as a financial mentor to women. The majority of her career revolved around global asset management, stocks, trading, investment portfolios, and the technology behind those things.
The clients she had the honor of working with were the top investment banks and financial institutions in the world.
She also volunteered as a mentor and financial educator for underprivileged women in Los Angeles.
In her coaching practice, she combines her unique skills and experience as a health coach and investment professional to guide clients toward optimal financial wellness via education and accountability. Whether you're a new investor, experienced investor, or working to adapt new habits to transform your financial mindset, Lisa can provide you with the tools and guidance necessary for you to make informed decisions with greater peace of mind.
Unlike a financial advisor, she doesn't represent a financial institution and doesn't retain a percent of your investments as her fee. You can feel confident knowing her guidance is without bias.
Ready to take control of your money and feel really good about your finances? Resources for Lisa

Behavioral change is often gradual and slow and it takes a lot of awareness because if we're not aware of behavior we are not aware that we are actually creating a certain outcome. Behavior change is a big thing, but it rarely ever happens all of a sudden, it takes small steps to change a behavior that is not serving you.
We always have two choices. We can either be the victim of our circumstances or we are taking responsibility for our own actions.

Well, what a journey it has been so far.
Today we are celebrating 200 episodes of the Podcast with my dearest friend Rachel Josefina.
We talk about all items pertaining to the Performing Arts and how Focus really matters.
There was a time I would joke in the theatre that one's Focus needs more Focus!
How true is this statement is, for how unfocused Artists can be at times when their Focus is unclear.
Rachel and I have an upcoming virtual event for Performing Artists come to join us!

Thank you for joining me today, it's a quickie about current events that I feel need linking to the Performing Arts community. Do you know the term FinTech? Financial Technology has come into my world a lot over the past 6 months, it's basically using technology to remove the friction when processing payments online. What has fascinated me is how closely it resembles the mentality of the art on do a show get paid, rinse & repeat.
All businesses & arts need to be held accountable for how we earn, spend and operate. An example is something called a Data Room. This is a tool that holds all financials, basically a secure storage place for a company's documents. Now imagine that an arts company were to have one so a donor or investor could look, transparently at a company's records. How would this change the playing field?

Welcome back to a quickie with me! Today we talk about you are not a cause. Definition of a Non-for-profit, they generate revenue for a cause. Are performing artists are therefore a 'casue' I challenge you to question this definition and look to see if there is another way to fund the organizations.
We question;
- Can arts companies make money?
- Is the cause the target of the income?
- Can the income be more than it takes to cover the overhead?

What if you actively chose not to settle?
What if you didn't buy into the old story of
"it has always been this way"?
What if you chose differently? Would you then gear yourself up for your day differently?
Would this allow you to be that amazing artist you are by not settling for others 'old stories'

Thank you for joining me today.
I wanted to share with you the importance of not dimming your light to fit others. So much of our day, we are interacting with people and we find that we are trying to adjust to others' states of being rather than being in our own power and light.
What does it mean to you to be "ALL IN"? For me, it is re-writing the past stories that I felt I needed to carry as my own and truly allowing myself to evolve as a result of doing so.

We all have beliefs on how certain things must operate and how they have to be. When we're looking at how the performing arts industry is set up, it's all based on a whole bunch of beliefs that have applied 60 70 years ago, but we haven't yet looked to see if they are compatible in today's world, where we have way more research data, where we have more ability, where we have more resources to tap in to reshape the belief structure to fit for today and the future. This week I talk through how our belief system can be the driver of our careers, lives, and relationships.

- Strong high-performing dancers
- What skills you can create
- Do the research

In this episode of Rising 360, Gina and I dissect choosing a different belief as dancers within the performing arts industry. What it would do to our personal career, our life, how we show up, and how we train on a continuous basis. In addition, we talk about:
- The role of the reticular activating system of our brain is our filter as it only lets through certain kinds of noises or triggers.
- How ‘what if’ questions are literally a limiting belief to how beautiful and unique and how important it is for us dancers to embrace our uniqueness.
- The need to start changing our beliefs into powerful beliefs that won't hold us back since we can do whatever our minds can create.
- How we need to know what we want in life in order for us to activate our filter and see all the possibilities.
- The fact that opportunities will fully open for us when we embrace our uniqueness.
- How whatever we're experiencing in our life is because we are a magnet and our beliefs create that magnetic field.
- Inquiring within and inquiring without about our strengths as a starting point.
- The need to know our value as the basis to shift our beliefs since beliefs are everything.
- What tapping into new beliefs will feel like since we have not primed our brains to believe something different.
- How the mind will default into low vibration beliefs if we are not working on it.

In this episode of Coffee Chat, I dissect the habits of billionaires such as Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, and Warren Buffet, what it takes to be a millionaire/billionaire and the reasons performing artists are not there.
In addition, I talk about:
- The belief that being an artist equals struggling and the need to re-write that story.
- The amount of time put to reading as the number one habit for billionaires and it being a representation of continuous learning and knowledge acquisition.
- Quick decision making as a way to conserve brain and physical energy to be utilized elsewhere.
- How billionaires are conscious about getting enough rest and whether or not performing artists get enough rest.
- Envisioning our future, what on our agenda on a daily basis to get us there.
- Setting clear boundaries on who and how we spend our time, as a habit by successful people.
- The starving and lack mentality as the reason as to why performing artists believe they cannot be billionaires and why only a few make a really good living at it.

In this episode of Coffee Chat, I dissect how consumer behaviors have changed in the thick of the pandemic, drawing a bridge and connection to the performing arts.
In addition, I talk about:
- What life was before the pandemic, with human beings living as a collective, focusing on the 9-5 daily rat race with the main priority as bringing food to the table.
- How thanks to the pandemic, everybody has experienced self-reflection into reorganizing and changing priorities to things that matter.
- How society has adjusted how and with whom we are spending our time.
- How consumer behaviors have changed. Now, on purchasing, consumers focus not only on the product but how and by whom it’s made. Consumers have shifted their main drivers from price and quality, they have revised their main purpose and what’s important in life.
- The change in consumer behavior has given rise to ‘re-emerging consumers’.
- Four points that best explain the wants of these re-emerging consumers and the pressing and urgent need for the performing arts industry to align to this new group of consumers.
Getting to Know the ‘Reimagined’ Consumer

Susanne shares that over the past few days she has noticed herself reverting to old thoughts that no longer support her current journey. Through the conversation, she connects the self-comparison to how she is looking after herself within her week. Susanne challenges us to evaluate ourselves each day to better support ourselves.

Susan Ruhe is a BA and an RMT. She is an intuitive, myofascial release therapist, who taps into the physical and emotional traumas that lie deep within ourselves. She has been evolving her practice for over 15 years, helping her clients shift restricted areas found within the fascial matrix, to create more fluidity and alignment with the body. In doing so, she has been able to help her clients overcome the anxiety and trauma that they unknowingly hang on to, so that they can move beyond it. In 2020, when she was locked out of her beloved career, she transitioned into a virtual space, where she now teaches and guides clients on how to access their fascia system using their own hands.
Sue lives in London, Ontario in Canada, with her partner Jarrett and their daughter Avalina. She was recently published in a book called ‘The Great Canadian Woman - She is strong and free’. She is the co-host of the Everybody holds a story podcasts and the collaborative book project. Ultimately, her mission is to help guide the next generation of humans in understanding and loving their bodies.
In this episode, Sue speaks about her journey from dancing at a young age, while competing in Highland dancing to becoming an RMT (Registered Massage Therapist). She also talks about overcoming fears and life’s expectations that cause a sense of perfectionism as one pursues a dream or career. She emphasizes the importance of tapping into one’s higher self and listening to one’s intuition or soul, while on such a journey. She then thoroughly describes what fascial massage is all about and talks about how one can do it on their own.

This episode is the most requested, the most listen to episode from the original Money & Art series with Christy and Susanne.
Replay Thursday back from March of this year. Enjoy.
Today Christy & Susanne really explore the energy behind their beliefs of Money.
Susanne opens up about her inner thoughts. "Money is energy, and I want to start with, here's how I felt when I heard that for the first time. It's like, are you kidding me? Money isn't energy. And how can, how can it be energy? Money is tangible. Money buys things, money. That piece of paper makes this world.
Susanne: [00:18:10] Like even it has to do with our filter, with our reticular activating system. If we don't believe we can, well, then it will show us only the example said will prove yes
Christy: [00:21:11] Cause that was the example I saw. Exactly. That was the energy that we were consistently in. And it is so hard to...
Susanne: [00:37:16] When you believe the path will open up within you will get ideas, you will know what to say. You will know instinctually what kind of actions to take.
So honoured you have joined us today,
So Much ❤

In business and performing arts today, it feels like you got to fit in and leave your emotions at the door in order to get there. Christy and I challenge this notion. We look at the value of accepting and showing your emotions when you walk into the studio. This challenges the industry’s perspective which views emotions as a sign of weakness and inability to do the job. We bring our personal experiences in the industry and explain reasons why you should involve your emotions in what you do.

Effective collaboration in every level is essential for business success. Former dancers who try their hands on entrepreneurship need to learn one critical thing about collaboration. If your mindset is limited to collaborating with others in the same industry, then you’re missing out on a lot of opportunities. Susanne Puerschel brings in Josephine Bonnington-Mailisi to talk about this. Josephine is a dancer, aerialist and teacher. In this episode, she shares her great passion for dancing, circus and more. She elaborates on her vision, pillars of content, her life-long dreams and the concept of gaining financial freedom.

The topic up for discussion today is “Why investing in yourself is Essential”. In this episode, Christy and I talk about how you can get off the hamster wheel of having to do the same, boring thing for the rest of your life, switching off the never-ending desire to be good enough for somebody else to find yourself and your inner strength, and stopping the lack mentality. We uncover the value of service to others and the ripple effect of your energy state.
We then delve into the paramount need to invest in oneself and what it means. We look at ways in which you can invest in yourself, many of which are free, such as listening to podcasts, reading consistently, and sitting by the ocean. We reveal the value of your network and community in elevating yourself and each other.

Dancing is so much more than performance on stage. Jason Yap, creator of The Background Dancer podcast tells us why. Joining Susanne Puerschel on the show, Jason discusses how he created his podcast to help dancers prepare for a post-performance career. Ever think that arts and business don't jive well together? Think again! Of course, you need to learn about entrepreneurship. But once you do, you can easily offer your services and be rewarded justly for it. Are you ready to level up offstage? Jive in!

Dancing is an art and a tool for creativity for many people. However, the pressure of being perfect and the high standards in the industry create walls that limit the potential of young talents in the dancing community. Susanne Puerschel unpacks this topic with Ashley Mowrey, a mindset coach and educator for dancers. Ashley shares that through her life coaching, she helps her students through releasing self-doubt and quieting their inner critic. She is convinced that it is important to set your core values and check in on them to see if they align with the actions they’re doing and the path they are pursuing in life. She also notes how the mere act of enjoying the process and having a healthy environment can help a budding dancer tremendously in their journey.

Delving into her inspiring life journey, Jessica explains how to believe in yourself by doing simple self-care practices, knowing your skill sets and boundaries, and embracing a life purpose even bigger than yourself.

Ballet is a graceful dance form that everyone loves for its finesse and focus. But for dancers to bring themselves to the next level, many of them pursue teaching, which makes them realize the importance of serving others. This is exactly what Sarah Arnold discovered on her own ballet journey. Joining Susanne Puerschel, she tells how her passion as a ballet dancer led to a ballet instructor's life. She explains how her current endeavors allowed her to make dancing not only all about herself, discover the right way to motivate her students, and even transcend into healing and social issue. Susanne and Sarah also discuss the role of ballet in appreciating oneself, diving deep into how it plays out on self-care and taking a break in times of challenge and injuries.

We address the lack and hustle mentality in the arts today and how that is a result of not having self-love. We talk about the importance of feeling worthy and how self-love is more than just survival. We tie self-love into making money through having the worthiness to receive.

There is so much more to dancing than beautiful movements performed on stage. For some, it is healing and even science. Sophia Selene Martins has the research to back this up. She is an international neuroscientist, dancer, performer, and dance teacher, who, through her neuroscience of dance project and dance integrated healing method, provides neurocognitive and dance healing tools. In this episode, Susanne Puerschel talks to her about the things she learned from the neuroscience perspective about using dance for mental well-being and healing purposes. She highlights the importance of embracing arts as potential sources of information about human nature and the human brain, encouraging the community to step outside of the box and demand change. Join Sophia in this conversation and open your eyes to a world where Art and science can co-exist and why we should start integrating this fact into our lives.

In this episode of Money & Art, Christy and I talk about three ingredients for success—consistency, collaboration, and the ability to ask questions. We look at how our habits shape who we are and the type of energy we show up every day; the unhealthy competition among artists, which normally comes from a place of lack, and the detrimental effect it has had on the dance and ballet industry. We uncover how we can shift that mindset. We touch on the paramount importance of not being afraid to ask questions, regardless of how stupid you or other people think they are. We talk about how the ingredients lead to making more money in the arts.

Susanne chats openly about what she is currently seeing in the communities of dancers and performing artists as a whole, the lack of an empowered state of mind. She is seeing a lot of fear in the community, much resistance, and uncertainty on what will become the "arts".
Susanne asks herself what would it actually look like if artists would speak up more. Really truly step into their power? Collectively work with one another to tackle the overwhelming feeling of not being empowered to bring on change.

The topic for discussion in this episode is the quote “You Can Only Grow Your Business to the Extent You are willing to Grow Personally”. Christy and I discuss how dancers and artists need to be open to growth in order for their businesses and careers to progress. We go into detail about the inevitability of change around us and the need to adapt to it as artists. We expound on the importance of the energy we exude and how it affects our environment and teams. We further discuss Brené Brown’s book The Gifts of Imperfection and its lessons for personal growth for dancers and artists, taking tips on how to become a professional dancer today and how to be successful in your dance career. We look at what it means to live a fulfilled life and bring to light how the dance industry today is far from achieving that.

Susanne talks today about the journey of her most recent project. How it has made her reflect on how she spends her energy, with whom she spends it. How it has made her realize how she was hiding in stories she had created for herself to protect her old self. What does it mean to suffer for the Art form? And how she remembers what it is to be a woman, a person, a mother, a wife, a young girl, a silly girl for that matter, that loves to be outside.

What happens when art and business get to meet in the highest form possible? Think about that for a second. You can only imagine what the possibilities will be. We’re not just there yet, but beautiful souls like Lauren Brown are working their hearts out to make that possibility real. In this conversation, Lauren and host, Susanne Puerschel discuss the unfortunate fact that artists don’t really appreciate the business side of things when they clearly have the kind of drive that entrepreneurship needs. Lauren also shares a bit about the lessons she learned from her dancing career, as well as the uplifting work she is doing through a new podcast that talks about body positivity.

As dancers, we all dream of gaining mastery over that elite level performance, but the way we were raised in the industry has left us with the wrong idea of what it means. In her coaching work, Naira Agvanean reminds her mentees that they are humans first before they are dancers, that they have to take care of themselves too, to have fun and be fulfilled, that they have to let go of the obsession towards perfection and allow the true extraordinary artists within them to rise above. Like most of us, Naira has been thrust into ballet from a very young age and has seen firsthand how the system does not nurture this kind of encouragement in its dancers. Now, she is on a mission to help dancers develop a fearless mindset so that they can allow themselves to truly grow in their dancing journey and eventually live a successful and fulfilling life after the dance is over. Listen in as she trades thought-provoking insights on dance, mindset, and self-care in this conversation with Susanne Puerschel.

Christy and Susanne discuss the saying from Chris Harder, a successful entrepreneur, philanthropist, and podcaster, “When good people make good money, they do great things.” in this episode of Money & Art. We analyze the fact that any cause that you’re passionate about and that you feel there should be a change requires money. So instead of chasing recognition and seeking validation, a more gainful pursuit would be seeking more money which always contributes to that cause you’re passionate about and leads to a better quality of life.

When you try to fit yourself to a certain life like your foot is supposed to fit inside a pointe shoe, you’re depriving yourself of immense opportunities to grow into something better. For dancers and the dancing industry as a whole, there is always room to grow and we need to recognize that in order to be able to put out the best that the art can offer into the world. Joining Susanne Puerschel for a chat, Xenia Wiest shares her beautiful ideas on how to make the world of ballet better. Drawing from the lessons that she learned from her career, Xenia believes that there is so much that the industry can do to take better care of their dancers and bring out the best in them. She also advises young dancers to develop the will to strive after constant learning and progress and to not always chase after the perfection that doesn’t exist.

Today Christy & Susanne really explore the energy behind their beliefs of Money.
Susanne opens up about her inner thoughts. "Money is energy, and I want to start with, here's how I felt when I heard that for the first time. It's like, are you kidding me? Money isn't energy. And how can, how can it be energy? Money is tangible. Money buys things, money. That piece of paper makes this world.
Susanne: [00:18:10] Like even it has to do with our filter, with our reticular activating system. If we don't believe we can, well, then it will show us only the example said will prove yes
Christy: [00:21:11] Cause that was the example I saw. Exactly. That was the energy that we were consistently in. And it is so hard to...
Susanne: [00:37:16] When you believe the path will open up within you will get ideas, you will know what to say. You will know instinctually what kind of actions to take.
So honoured you have joined us today,
So Much ❤
Susanne

There are a lot of parallels between dance and life that the things dancers learn the hard way throughout their career are often the same things that form the core tenets of personal development. Joanna Vargas offers her wealth of wisdom and experience in both fields through two new podcasts, The Get Up Girl and Dance Your Life. While appealing to two different audiences, both podcasts teach its listeners how to embrace their imperfections and dance with the chaos. Throughout her career as a dancer and dance studio owner, Joanna has earned her way to the front at a time when choosing something different was not celebrated. We see that theme over and over again, whether it’s in dancers being shamed into performing like everyone else or women being force-fitted into roles that don’t speak to who they really are. This conversation between Joanna and host Susanne Puerschel challenges these patterns of conformity and teaches each one of us to choose ourselves and be comfortable in our own skin. Listen in and be inspired to dance your life the way you’re supposed to.

When we put ourselves into rooms virtual or in-person we invite the uncomfortable in. We ask for our story to be reframed, to realize that when we make it all about "I" we may miss the greater gift to see others. Why are you making it only about you?

Asking the right questions actually gives people the answers that they need to move forward in life. And by not asking questions, we are holding ourselves back.
- We learn about life through asking questions
- Quality of our life directly depends on the quality of the questions we are asking.
- Questioning makes us wiser. It helps us to learn more, and to be open to learning more.

Today, I would like to talk to you about comparison, I have read so many times that one should stop comparing oneself in order to open the door of being a better dancer, or all together to live a happier life. And I never really saw explained WHY and HOW.
- Comparison robs us of our precious time,
- Comparing yourself to somebody else's ability,
- Comparison also often results in resentment,
- Comparison deprives you of joy,
You will be able to change your mindset quicker and you will be able to take actions quicker to interfere. Nobody else is like you and that alone is worth a lifelong celebration. Instead of wishing for more of what others have. Understand what you have and that there is nothing out there that you are not able to learn.

Pain is a constant of life, and teaching ourselves to be numb enough to ignore them will not do us any good. For those dealing with chronic pain, the only way to overcome it is by facing it head-on and choosing happiness above anything else. Adela Tomlinson shares how she did this with Susanne Puerschel, detailing how she pivoted her career a number of times due to her Mexican descent, as well as the severe consequences brought upon her spinal cord injury. She also explains how her childhood ballet lessons play a huge role in handling the most painful moments in her life, the true cost of happiness, and how she influences her kids to foster a mindset of gratitude in all aspects.

It can get unbearable. You know, this is why we're seeing a lot of burnouts does this, why are we seeing a lot of dis / ease in the industry, because the pressure, you can take like, a tiny little bottle and you hold it out. It doesn't have to be heavy, but it depends on how long you're holding it out there, that at a certain time, you will not be able to hold it anymore, because the pressure is too much.

This episode was a tough one for Susanne to record, it centres around a life event that she describes as being the lowest point in her life and how the shame of that event followed her for 15 years. Until she asked for help nothing changed and hopes that by sharing you can see your past doesn’t define your present. In an industry that demands perfection, failure isn’t an option. Shame held Suanne back for rover a decade, but she has leaned to point at herself and take action, that mistakes are better than regret and it’s about how quickly you get up.

Welcome to my FIRST episode - I can’t believe the podcast is here! I am so excited to have you join me, as I introduce who I am and why I felt so driven to create the Pointe To Rise community. I will share with you a story that changed how I went from being unfulfilled in corporate America, fearful and unsure of myself as a woman and how I learnt to turn my back on perfection and take quick messy action. I talk about how ballet can be lonely, competitive and is known to be about pleasing everyone else. I do not want you to forget yourself!
Take back your power my love and don’t let anyone define you. Define yourself. Now let's get started.
