    Ep. 169 Never Give Up Again!

    Hello Everyone!, Today we talk about what makes us actually want to give up. It happens to all of us, the determination slips, the motivation just isn't what it used to be. We associate those emotions with how much we may actually want something when in fact, it could be how you are spending time. This can look at the pockets of time in the day that are actually wasting your time, and the lack of systems you have in place in your life. We often think, to get good at something or to work hard means the the journey needs to feel hard. While ballet is hard as we know, I don't want the systems in place to feel hard or effortful. I want them to feel easy, so I can keep doing them, keep improving and keep achieving what I have set out to do! This episode will help you achieve all of that! So let's dive in! ------- JOIN OUR MAILING LIST! NEW PLATFORM COMING :-) https://mailchi.mp/balletwithisabella/isabella-platform-sign-up

    EP. 168 How To Visualise The Future You Want

    The Power of Visualisation: See It To Become It What if the most powerful training tool you have costs nothing, requires no studio, and works while you sleep? In this episode, we dive deep into the science of visualisation and why your brain doesn't know the difference between vividly imagining something and actually doing it. We cover four types of visualisation — outcome, process, negative, and creative — and exactly how to use each one as a dancer. I also share a story from my own childhood that I didn't even have a name for at the time, and how it quietly made me better at movements I'd barely tried. If you've ever been trapped in the 'what ifs' — what if I mess up, what if I'm not good enough, what if I don't deserve this — this episode is for you. Grab a pen and paper. You're going to need it.

    EP. 167 Failures & Mistakes Are Not Your Identity!

    Hey Everyone! We need to talk about failure. Not in a "dust yourself off and try again" motivational poster kind of way. Really talk about it. Because so many of us — especially as dancers — have spent years quietly believing that every mistake we make says something about who we are. A wobbled pirouette, a bad audition, a class where nothing went right. And instead of letting it go, we become it. This episode is about untangling that. Failure is not your identity. It is information. It is redirection. It is, honestly, one of the most powerful tools you have — but only if you stop running from it and start getting curious about it. In this episode we're talking about: 🎙️ Why we attach our sense of self worth to our mistakes — and how to stop 🎙️ The difference between having a bad experience and being a failure 🎙️ How embracing mistakes (rather than burying them) is what separates dancers who grow from dancers who plateau 🎙️ Practical ways to reframe failure in the moment — on and off the dance floor 🎙️ Why the most successful, most celebrated artists in the world have failure woven all the way through their story Because here's the truth — the mistake doesn't define you. What you do with it does. Whether you're a dancer, a student, a creative, or just a human being navigating life, this one is for you. Pull up a chair.

    Ep.166 Day 7: Becoming the Confident Dancer

    Hello Everyone! You made it to Day 7. And something has already shifted — even if you can't quite name it yet. This final episode is about bringing everything together. The work you've done this week — facing the performance anxiety, stepping out of comparison, separating your worth from your results, quieting the overthinking, releasing the fear of being seen, finding your way back from burnout — it has all been leading here. To you. The confident dancer. Not the perfect dancer. Not the fearless dancer. The one who knows herself, trusts herself, and shows up fully anyway — on the hard days, in the difficult rooms, under the lights, and in the quiet moments when nobody is watching but her. Confidence is not a destination you arrive at and stay forever. It is a practice. A daily decision. And in this episode we talk about exactly how to keep making it — so that everything you've reset this week becomes not just a moment, but a new standard. This is not the end. This is where you begin. ------ Follow For More! balletwithisabella.com @balletwithisabella on all socials Join our mailing list ⁠https://mailchi.mp/balletwithisabella/isabella⁠

    Ep. 165 Day 6: Burned Out? "Why Am I Even Doing This?

    Hello Everyone! Welcome to Day 6 . You used to love this. You used to live for it — the classes, the rehearsals, the music, all of it. And somewhere along the way something shifted and now you're showing up out of habit or obligation or guilt, going through the motions, wondering when it stopped feeling like yours. If you have ever stood in the studio and genuinely asked yourself why you're still doing this — this episode is a safe place to land. Today we talk honestly about burnout in dance — what it actually is, how it creeps in, and why it is so often misread as laziness or lack of passion when it is actually the opposite. We talk about how to find your way back to yourself and back to the love that started all of this. And we talk about what it looks like to rebuild your relationship with dance on your own terms — not the terms of a schedule, a syllabus, or someone else's expectations. The love is still there. Today we go and find it. ------ Follow For More! balletwithisabella.com @balletwithisabella on all socials Join our mailing list https://mailchi.mp/balletwithisabella/isabella

    Ep. 164 Day 5: Fear Of Being SEEN!

    Hello Everyone, Welcome to Day 5 of The Dancer Reset Series! Let's dive in. Day 5: Fear of Being Seen You love to dance. But something happens when you feel truly watched — really seen — and it stops you. You make yourself smaller. You pull back at exactly the moment you should be expanding. You hold something in reserve, even when everything in you wants to let go. Fear of being seen is more common among dancers than almost anything else. And it makes sense — to dance is to be exposed in a way that most people never have to be. But it is also the very thing standing between you and the dancer you are meant to be. In this episode we go beneath the surface of performance anxiety and into something deeper — the fear of full visibility. We talk about where it comes from, what it is really protecting you from, and how to begin dismantling it so that you can do the thing you were made to do, fully and without apology. The stage does not want a smaller version of you. It never did. 🌐 balletwithisabella.com  📩 Join the mailing list: mailchi.mp/balletwithisabella/isabella 📸 Instagram: @balletwithisabella  ▶️ YouTube: youtube.com/@balletwithisabella

    Ep.163 Day 4: Don't Overthink & Align Yourself

    Hello Everyone, Welcome to Day 4 of The Dancer Reset Series. Hopefully we are feeling good! Let's dive in to episode 4 Day 4: Why You Overthink Under Pressure The combination starts and your brain won't stop. Check your arms. Is your core on? What comes next? Why does everyone else look so relaxed? You're thinking so hard about every single thing that there is no space left to actually dance — and the harder you try to switch it off, the louder it gets. Overthinking under pressure is one of the most common and least talked about struggles in dance. And in this episode we get into exactly why it happens. We cover what is going on in your nervous system when pressure triggers the overthinking spiral, why trying harder to stop thinking actually makes it worse, and the specific mental tools that help you get out of your head and back into your body — where the dancing actually lives. Because you already know how to do this. Your body just needs your mind to get out of the way. 🌐 balletwithisabella.com 📩 Join the mailing list: mailchi.mp/balletwithisabella/isabella 📸 Instagram: @balletwithisabella ▶️ YouTube: youtube.com/@balletwithisabella
