It's shameful to have to be a corporal being. It's like, oh, you want to do this extra gig on Monday night, come dance around at some party, and you're like bucks, bucks. Okay, now, I'm not in the business of giving advice. Sorry, there's a truck going by right now, it's loud, but one is that if you're not happy, that's it.
Ever wondered how someone in the demanding world of ballet copes with emotional turmoil? In this episode of 'Grey Maybe', host Jillian Schmitz sits down with ballet teacher and professional dancer Nancy Dobbs Owen. Nancy opens up about her experiences growing up feeling emotionally unprepared, the intense pressures of the ballet industry, and her ongoing journey towards recovery.
From eating disorders and body dysmorphia to the unique challenges faced by teachers and leaders in addressing these issues, Nancy's story is both raw and inspiring. The conversation also touches on her role as an intimacy coordinator and the protective barrier that eating disorders can create. Jillian and Nancy highlight the importance of breaking cycles of shame and supporting each other through recovery.
If you're looking for a heartfelt discussion that tackles tough subjects with empathy and hope, this episode is a must-listen.
