Ready to dance?
So, I’ve been gone for a little while from the world of blogging and sharing my online dance & fitness programs…
I’ve been teaching a weekly dance class here in Des Moines, Iowa…and working as an Executive Director of a cultural dance non-profit organization (so fun)!…
AND–now I am on the biggest adventure of my life so far: being a mom.
Hello, booty-shaking motherhood
It’s been a very up & down journey to become a momma at this time in my life.
In my younger adult years—I’ve really loved focusing on being a teacher, building a nonprofit (and then re-building one), and having music & dance as an “evening career” for most of my life!
So after a huge journey of nurturing my thyroid health and supporting my digestion…feeling
And I finally felt more “emotionally available”…
And having joined the circus and gotten much joy from it…
I finally felt ready/able to be a mom.
However, wanting to be a mom & becoming a mom when you’re a little bit older are two different things!
However, wanting to be a mom & becoming a mom when you’re a little bit older are two different things! I’m excited to share more about my fertility journey with you and share more about my still-huge love of:
Eating for Energy and Moving your Booty to feel GOOD (and look good, too!)
One thing that I’ve been working on these past few years is the nutrition side of things. I feel like I found mastery-level teachers with strength training and dance, and those teachers have sped my progress in those fields.
I think after several years of intensive nutrition study, and a ridiculous amount of reading & lots of writing—I found both mastery-level teachers…
Plus now a new motivation & determination to share:
This ding-dang coronvirus-pandemic.
It’s calling me back online to share my joy & energy…my inspiration around taking care of your health, mindset & energy…and my love of music art dance & creativity…
Even though I am incredibly busy with my now new toddler…and rocking all things with one hand mainly…
I have an incredible amount of stuff I have been creating over the years (and the past 10 of sharing online) that I can put out here for people to enjoy. In the near future, you’ll be able to work with me more closely if you want to, as well.
For now—I’m just focused on sharing what’s easiest to share right now…and finding ways to make the best of staying at home, caring for and celebrating this new human with the ongoing uncertainty this pandemic is creating…
So, no time like the present to share some health-care & booty movement joy!
A little cheerfulness for you
