You don't want to feel exhausted and burnt out when all is said and done. To avoid the burnout you have to support yourself (or get support) through the season.

I was really surprised to see that I haven't talked about body image on the podcast much (at all?). This is an incredibly important topic and today's episode is quite actionable.

Very often, dancers think that nutrition knowledge is what they need to achieve their "best" bodies for dance. In a lot of cases, it's not the first (or most important) thing that you should focus on.
.
This podcast episode dives into that concept and helps you discover what might need your attention instead.

Every single week (if I’m being honest, almost every day), I’m connecting with clients who are going through the audition process. The dancers I work with are at every stage in their careers. I’m working with 17-year-olds going through it for the first time, dancers in their mid-20s trying to transition to a new company or a better-paying company, and even seasoned pros at the top of their careers looking for a more supportive environment to work in.
.
There’s certainly some variation in the different stages of life and career, but there’s also a big constant: the audition process sucks. It’s long, it’s stressful, and it’s full of uncertainty. This process leaves you questioning your body, your ability, your potential, and just about every decision you’ve made in your life.
There's a lot to unpack with this topic. I've addressed it before but never so blatantly. Give this a listen and let me know your thoughts!
If you're in need of support and you have a strong desire to change your body for dance, let's connect. Set up a free coaching consultation here.
When the new year hits, so do all the diet, exercise, and body-related messages. You start hearing even more about what foods are “good” or “bad” and what you “should” or “shouldn’t” be eating.
That’s why now is a great time to refresh and strengthen your food mindset. You can set yourself up for an easy-going holiday as well as a self-loving start to the new year.
Ready for support on your journey? Schedule your coaching consultation here.
Holiday meals can be stressful. The timing of them is challenging between Nutcracker, impending auditions, and upcoming casting decisions.
Here are some ways to calm your mind and enjoy the day.
If you'd rather read about this topic, check out this post on The Whole Dancer blog.
When it comes to your body, food, body image, mindset, and approach to life, it's possible you've got a lot of shifts you'd like to make.
There's so much information out there that can help you make those changes but something may be holding you back. This episode talks through the challenges with taking consistent action.
Ready for a bold action step? Set up your coaching consultation call here.
Coffee talk is a pretty loosely organized chat about topics that are relevant to you and The Whole Dancer.
In this chat you'll hear about:
- Food changes in colder weather
- Audition emails!
- More thoughts on your body changing

It is possible to dance your best and love yourself through the process. There are 5 areas that require your focus in order to do your best dancing and to enjoy every moment. Give this episode a listen to find out what they are.

So many dancers would love to know exactly what to eat. Well, good news and bad news is that there's no perfect eating plan that all dancers should adhere to.
In this pod ep. you'll discover some essential considerations to find out the best way of eating for you.
It's time to accept that your body will change. As you pursue dance and beyond, body changes should be expected and accepted.
This episode will provide some ways to work on acceptance, to be aware of expected changes, and to move through body change in an empowered way.
This is the return to podcasting at The Whole Dancer so I wanted to start with a topic that encompasses a big part of the mission and work I do with The Whole Dancer.
.
Can balance exist? I believe it can but it requires you to be super aware and intentional in your dance and life experience. You'll learn how to prioritize balance so you can dance and feel your best.
