2.4 Imposter Syndrome
This episode is going to talk about imposter syndrome, using my own story and growth through A Ballet Education as well as talking about it on different levels: as a dance educator, a student, a professional dancer. Imposter syndrome can be so dangerous inside of our art form, and it doesn't help that ballet is here to break you down... so, give yourself space, credit, and encouragement.

1.12 Season Finale: Pursuing your dreams and staying inspired
The season finale of Season 1! I don't know why podcasts count 12 episodes as a season, but the first season is coming to an end and will be back with Season 2 (Spring Edition). In this episode we are going to talk about pursuing your dreams and finding a way to center yourself and not get caught up in the hoopla that surrounds ballet on social media.
