Ballet with Isabella
About this episode

Hello Everyone!

Today we are going to be discussing how big struggles can lead to some of your biggest breakthroughs.

Any successful person will tell you, they have always had some of the toughest times in their life which have shaped them to who they are and that has led them to the success they have now.

It's like when you listen to any CEO they always have no money and are on the street almost just before they have their big break led by true goals and go on to be pioneers.

Dancers may have high struggle with injury or toxic environments. We learn so much from these places, it shapes us to where we end up. How you learn from these experiences is key.


It's always darkest just before the dawn :-)


Let's dicuss!
