    Rest Stop #5

    Rest Stop #5

    Time for another Rest Stop. And we're back in Hohenwald! What are the chances? This rest stop is a little different than previous episodes. In this rest stop, I'm sharing (for the first time publicly) about my struggles recovering from a major spinal fusion, why I believe it doesn't take a professional dancer to make it in this industry, and why pole dance is so important to me. Find out more about the work I do and how I've made it to this point.

    This episode was a bit hard to record as its something I don't easily talk about but I hope someone out there gets something from it. If so, then it was all worth it. Thanks for listening!

Fulfilling a need in the pole & aerial community

As a new pole athlete, this is gold. I feel I’m being connected to the wider pole world thanks to Tara. So inspiring and informational!

An Amazing Podcast!

The first episode I listened to was Episode #21 featuring Colleen Jolly, where I learned about virtual PoleCon and the IPIA! Since then, I’ve listened to the entire series and I’m completely in love with the show! It is incredible to hear all the stories of people in the pole and aerial industry! The show is educational and it’s truly inspiring. Tara is a fantastic host and so much hard work is built into creating this amazing show. If you’re new to the community, this is a great way to learn about the people in the industry! I highly recommend everyone to listen!
