The Dance Coach Podcast

Today I am talking about uncertainty. We have some outcomes we are waiting for in the country, and people get very anxious when we are faced with this kind of uncertainty. You will learn why that it, what you are really afraid of when you don’t know what the result will be, and how you can move forward even if you never get the answer you are waiting for.

If you are a dance teacher or an athletic coach you have probably heard the question, “where is this supposed to hurt?” Well, in today’s episode I am talking about purposeful pain vs. pain with no purpose. The truth is there is no progress without discomfort. If you are comfortable you are not growing. But, there is a difference between the kind of pain that is a warning sign, whether physically or emotionally, and the kind that is required to reach our goals.

In this episode I am talking about what it takes to become a master at something. What does it mean to have achieved excellence, and how do we get there?

This week I talk to you about worth vs. value. I have had too many conversations with people that confuse the two. And it is wreaking havoc on their financial lives. The good news is that you can clean all of this up, and once you do, you will be on the road to making more money than you even know what to do with if that is what you want.  Most of us believe that others determine our worth. But it's not true. We are 100% worthy of love, joy, happiness, and all that other good stuff just because we are a human living on this planet.  We conflate our economic value with our self worth, and that screws us over every time. You are not your accomplishments, and what someone is willing to pay you means nothing about your worthiness.  Listen today to discover the difference between worth/worthiness and economic value. This one idea can change the entirety of your life.

Today I am open up the door on a conversation about money. What are your thoughts about money? Do you think money is inherently good or bad? I am going to share how your thoughts about money affect your current financial situation, and what you can do to change your relationship with money.

Who are you? How you answer this question makes up your identity. What do you think about when you think of yourself. In todays show I am expanding on last weeks topic around how we see ourselves. We get to define ourselves in whatever way we want. But be careful about what you say to yourself about yourself because it affects how you show up un the world and the results you are able to create.

In today's episode I am pulling apart the "starving artist" narrative we have been fed our entire lives. These kinds of ideas permeate our culture and posit that living as an artist, while enjoyable, is no way to make a "good' living. Whatever that means. So, the question is, do you identify as a starving artist? Do you believe you have to sacrifice for your art? Do you think that the only way to make money as an artist is to "sell out"? If you have thought any of these things you have to listen to today's episode.
