Taking Up Space & being Unapologetically Yourself: Ballet, Body Image, and Embracing Your Worth

TW: Eating Disorders

In this heartfelt episode, we’re joined by Grace—dancer, dance photographer, and advocate for self-compassion. Starting her ballet journey as a young adult, Grace now finds joy in jazz, lyrical contemporary, and ballet, using dance as a source of structure, focus, and self-care.

Grace opens up about her experiences with body image and eating disorders, sharing how ballet has taught her to value her body and build confidence. Together, we explore the emotional and technical aspects of dance, emphasizing the importance of creating safe spaces for dancers at every level and age.

Whether you’re a dancer or simply seeking inspiration, Grace’s story is a powerful reminder to take up space unapologetically and embrace your worth.
