In this episode of the All Out As Is Podcast, I’m walking you through how to write cleaner, clearer, and more effective step sheets that actually translate the way you intended them to. We’re talking about common mistakes choreographers make, how to improve clarity, how to structure counts and directions, and the little details that make a huge difference for dancers and instructors learning your work. I also share some of my favorite tips for testing your step sheets, organizing tags and res...

This week on the All Out As Is Podcast, I’m joined by special guest Cherrie a line dance instructor, community builder, and beautiful example of what can happen when you say YES before you feel fully ready. ❤️ When Cherrie moved to Japan, she never imagined she would one day be leading dance classes, teaching partner dance, and creating a space where people from different cultures and backgrounds could feel connected, confident, and seen. In this episode, we talk about: ✨ Building confidence ...

High school drama at the dance hall? Let’s outgrow it. This episode is about protecting your peace, staying on the dance floor, finding your people, and remembering why you started dancing in the first place. Tough skin. Tender heart. Stay out of the gossip. Say yes to new people. Ask someone to dance. Travel to new dance spaces. Be part of the fun, not the friction. Because every person walking into a dance hall is carrying a story. And o...

What if the rules you’ve been trying to follow… were never meant for you? In this episode, I share a moment that could have stopped everything. A conversation that questioned my worth, my right to teach, and even my audacity to charge for what I loved. But instead of shrinking, I chose something different. We’re talking about: • Breaking free from the “invisible ladder” of expectations • Navigating criticism, doubt, and loud opinions • Choosing courage over...

Why do we resist the very things we know will make us feel proud, connected, and aligned? 🤍 In today’s vulnerable episode, I’m unpacking something that’s been showing up in my life… resistance. Resistance to sending the follow-up. Resistance to reading the bedtime story. Resistance to sending the loving text. Not because I don’t care. But because being seen, caring deeply, and leaning in requires emotional vulnerability. What if resistance isn’t a stop sign… but a breadcrumb...

I talk about how easily one moment, one comment, one thought can hijack an entire day if we let it. I’ve been there. I’ve watched a perfectly good day unravel because I gave too much power to something that didn’t deserve it. This episode isn’t about pretending things don’t hurt or forcing positivity. It’s about learning how to feel what’s real without letting it control your life. I break down why affirmations used to feel fake to me, what they actually are, and how they wo...

I had no idea this conversation would hit the way it did. In this episode of the All Out As Is Podcast, I’m sitting down with Rachel Ratelle, an endometriosis warrior and women’s health advocate, and we go deep into what it looks like to lose the version of yourself you thought you’d be, then rebuild your life with honesty, support, and community.

In this episode, I open up about nerves, confidence, mental health, and the deeper fears that still show up even after years of teaching, performing, and leading. I share the moments that shaped me — from shaking in the parking lot before class to the instant confidence that hits the moment I step onto the floor. I talk about how dance became a lifeline in the seasons where I felt lost, overwhelmed, and disconnected from myself… and how healing often begins the moment we decide to “step in” a...

In today’s episode, I’m getting really real about my journey... from being in one of the darkest seasons of my life to sitting here in Italy, teaching, dancing, and living out dreams I once thought were impossible. I’ll take you back to the train station where everything came full circle… the same place where years ago I was broken, hopeless, and ready to give up.. and the same place where now, I found peace, purpose, and freedom. You’ll hear how line dancing became the spark that...
