Move Groove Grow

It's been one hell of a few weeks, and I'm honestly exhausted but in the best way possible.EmeroyTV had a solid week last week with strong progress on reactions - I've got about 20 left to finish up. This week was minimal progress since I literally haven't been able to sit at a computer until now. I've been either on set, filming, or in rehearsals nonstop. But I did manage to film more Street Woman Fighter episodes with Max and Lauren on Tuesday evening. These episodes are incredibly long, but we're pushing through because I want to keep this series going with the three of us who started it together. Max and I also knocked out a couple podcast episodes for Awkward Tea Party that'll drop in a few weeks.Temper Tantrum just wrapped our most ambitious "Temper Tantrum Versus" episode yet. We challenged the dancers to learn instruments and perform as a band in front of a live audience. They had one week to master My Chemical Romance's "I'm Not Okay," and they absolutely crushed it. One group even learned an additional song on their own time. When the audience started singing along during the performance, I got goosebumps. This was our biggest production challenge ever - 9-10 cameras rolling simultaneously, 6-10 mics for audio coverage across multiple venues and shoot days.We're also gearing up for the Alhambra block party on September 6th if you're in the area. Unfortunately, our annual retreat got canceled due to scheduling conflicts, but we're planning a bonding day instead - something low-pressure where we can get out of LA and connect as a team outside of dance.My schedule as a dancer has been insane. Late night rehearsals from 4 PM to 12:30 AM, then right into Temper Tantrum work the next day. I'm choreographing for a music video this Saturday, and there are potential opportunities for judging and teaching at conventions coming up. Next week is going to be brutal with rehearsals from 6 PM to 3 AM on multiple nights, plus a Temper Tantrum performance on the 6th, followed by our new "Choreo Lab" project on the 7th.Visual Paradox filmed with our comedian client this past Tuesday focusing on reaction content, and we're experimenting with a new format tomorrow. We've got the podcast and reaction content dialed in, so now we're testing what else we can explore.Ochacha is deep in rehearsals for their September show, with auditions on September 7th for anyone with at least two years of dance experience who loves anime.The lesson this week? Recovery is everything. When you're juggling this much simultaneously, sleep becomes the difference maker. I've been using my sauna-pool-hot tub recovery protocol when possible, but honestly, sleep is what keeps me sharp enough to lead teams, perform, and handle client work without being mentally foggy.Sometimes you just have to trust the process and make sure you're taking care of yourself so you can show up fully for everything else

I dive deep into why traditional goal-setting fails and how identity-based transformation can change everything. After a challenging 2024 filled with personal loss and setbacks, I'm sharing the breakthrough insights that transformed my approach to achievement. Key Points We Explore: • The crucial difference between "wanting to achieve" and "becoming" • Why successful jerks still win (and what that really teaches us) • The scientific method of personal transformation • The coffee lover vs. coffee liker paradigm shift • How identity-based goal setting transformed my dance students • The low-hanging fruit approach that actually works • Why doing what's required beats doing what's comfortable Whether you're struggling with your 2025 goals or feeling stuck in your journey, this conversation will challenge everything you thought you knew about achievement.
