938. Breaking Down the “Save Your Tears...

Heal Squad
About this episode

Happy Wednesday Heal Squad! Welcome back to part 2 of our conversation with Nia Sioux, where we delve deeper into the lessons she’s learned from her time on Dance Moms and how it’s shaped her outlook on life. Nia talks about the infamous "save your tears for the pillow" mantra and how it symbolizes the silencing of youth, especially in high-pressure environments. 


She shares her thoughts on the older generation's critique of younger people being "too sensitive" and discusses the real impact of social media on mental health and why mental health issues seem more prevalent today, touching on the importance of allowing yourself to feel emotions without dwelling on them. Nia reflects on her relationships with the original Dance Moms cast and Abby, and whether she’d ever consider returning to reality TV. This episode is a candid look at navigating the complexities of being in the public eye while staying grounded in authenticity that you don’t want to miss.
