Joy, are you there? It’s me

What is it with adults? The second we start to have to pay bills, we forget how to do things for pleasure and joy…

When was the last time you just went out and did something without it needing to mean anything? 

Me, your fellow scorpio sister, is guilty of this too. Always down for the deep and meaningful; but maybe we are missing out on some magick moments if we are always seeking this too. 

There’s something I hear often from people interested in our space… 

“But I can’t dance.”

OR my favorite is the raised eyebrows that say it all… “I could never!”

You know the friend!

We stifle our potential by trying to control the outcome…of things we haven’t even TRIED yet.

Story time.

When I first started pole dancing, everyone at the studio I was at, was hardcore into competitions. As a former collegiate cheerleader, I was into that. So I set off to train for one. 

I’ll tell you what… I never wanted to quit something faster in my life, and it’s because I put wayyyy too many expectations on being “good” at something that I really just wanted to freaking enjoy. (Totally my own doing btw.)

And at that point, I couldn’t see that desiring joy, was not only valid, but totally more than enough. 

I competed for years and I did make a small name for myself to teach and travel this way, but let me tell you… when I stopped caring about that sh*t; how “good” I was at something that was actually so much more multidimensional than a measurable scale of  “good” and “not,” everything changed and I found so much more…. Peace. And love, for myself and my body. And a much more fulfilling embodiment practice. 

In fact, it wasn’t till I stopped “being good” at it all and just let myself “be” that I found true, self-sustainable growth, and this beautiful community was born. 

Is this resonating with you? It might be time for you to take that first step and join our waitlist linked in bio🤍✨
