Fun fact: one of my clients crashed and booked the lead ✨👏

Just show up! If they say no, that is okay and allowed! Sometimes, the day is jam-packed and there isn’t time. It’s not personal at all. Be kind and gracious whether you are seen or not.

You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take ❤️ It’s time to advocate more strongly for yourself.

I am here if you need support along the way 🫡

The version of you that is REALLY going for it. The version of you that’s not hiding. The version of you that shows up no matter what. The version of you that relentlessly goes for their dreams.

What would you be doing today if you were doing that version of your life?

I get stuck in the comfort zone too sometimes. It can feel really vulnerable to leave. But, I encourage you to take 5% responsibility to be brave today. To be more audacious. To begin taking bolder action.

If you need support, I am here to help. Book your complimentary Discovery Call today. I’ve got you, and we’ll work together to make this happen for you!

Save this for your next post-audition spiral ❤️

Trust that you did your best with where you were at that day. Resist playing detective, it’s a gigantic waste of your energy. Know that when it’s meant to be, it will. That person in your head (who you’ve decided is your competition) wasn’t perfect either.

It didn’t go as mistake-y as your brain is trying to convince you it did. The panel noticed sooooo much good about you. Way more than your brain is having you believe.

I guarantee you did way better than you think. Don’t over identify with that one thing that happened. The mistake doesn’t define you, nor is an indication of how the next one will go.

You are amazing, strong and beautiful. Now get off your phone, go for a walk and treat yourself to a smoothie.

I insist. 🍌

Let’s not underestimate how hard it can be to be the parent or caregiver of a competitive dancer! The emotional roller coaster is so real!

I want to say that I know you are doing great. I also want you to forgive yourself for the moments you’ve not been perfect. You are learning too! Cut yourself a good amount of slack 🩷

Making small shifts in your approach can and will make a big difference. Use these 3 tips to get started!

The one tip I would add, is to make sure you have a safe space to vent that is not in earshot of your child 😆 You are absolutely allowed to get your feelings out, but make sure that you and your trusted person can do that in a separate place.

If your dancer would thrive with more confidence, healthier self-talk, a less comparison-based mindset and practical tools to manage anxiety, we should work together! I have coached hundreds of competitive and professional dancers towards having their healthiest, most successful season yet!

Insert your challenging skill if it isn’t dance! It would’ve been pop singing for me 🫣

Becoming 5% or 10% better at this skill WILL make a difference.

Keep training. Keep going! I believe in you x infinity ❤️

I’m grateful to all the girls I was who brought me to where I am today. 🤍 Here’s your sign to forgive yourself for being so hard on yourself.

The things you’re feeling right now are not evidence of how everything is going to turn out. Use me as evidence!

I have so been where you are. I’ve doubted myself, felt behind, questioned whether things would ever work out, and struggled to see what was possible for me.

But I also built a mindset (with my coach!) that freed me to create a life more amazing and successful than I could have imagined back then.

That’s one of the things that makes me a great coach: I don’t just teach this stuff. I’ve lived it.
You are already beautiful, worthy and enough. You don’t have to become someone else to create the life you want.

And if you recognize yourself in me, maybe we should chat. I’d love to be your coach. 🤍

This is really important ✨

An audition is not a one-note test. It’s not a test at all in fact.

Come in. Be prepared. Take a big swing and make a great offer. Then, we want to watch you work. The way you receive notes, work through the material, bring a sense of play and collaboration: THAT is what sets you apart. That is what makes us excited about having you in a rehearsal room. Imagining you in the rehearsal room = one step closer to you being cast!

I get that you want to nail that one impressive note. I want that for you too! But in truth it’s not THE factor that books you the job.

You are way more ready than you feel! The fear you’re feeling is the healthy and needed fear that comes when you start to play bigger!

Diving in is the hardest part. But you are ready. And you have an entire support system here to help you along the way!

Stop hiding. Start going all in on the life and career you actually want 🥰

You don’t have to be perfect to be great.

I remember showing up at auditions and being SO nervous, and feeling mad at myself, thinking “I’m nervous. That means I can’t do well”.

But I learned that the two things can co-exist. I could be nervous and still have a great audition. And I don’t mean like a little nervous (my clothes would shake on my body style nerves!).

You can be tired and still do great work. You can make mistakes and still have a brilliant show.

Please remember that it isn’t one or the other ⭐️
