I sat down with Heather, founder of Echo Dance Collective, for a deeply honest conversation on dance, burnout, and coming home to yourself.

We talked about how dance becomes more than movement—it becomes medicine. A way to remember who we are, connect with younger parts of ourselves, and move through what words can’t always touch.

Heather shares what it really takes to build a creative life that’s sustainable, soulful, and community-led. We touched on the highs and lows of expression, what happens when burnout hits.

We explored:

• Why connecting with your younger self can shift everything

• What it means to feel safe in your body and your art

• The birth and vision of Echo Dance Collective—and what’s coming next

This episode is for anyone who's ever used creativity to survive, to connect, or to come alive again. It’s gentle, reflective, and full of heart.
