Remember when I told you the work is never done…
I’ve got a perfect example for you!
Last year I stepped wayyyyy outside of my comfort zone.
I was interviewing to be a co-host on a podcast when the lady asked me about my dancing. She mentioned that she held a burlesque show and would I be interested in auditioning.
My face immediately got flushed and my heart started to race…I told her that I was super nervous just by her asking me that.
Well long story short…I sent in a dance video and was asked to join the show before she even held auditions for anyone else.
Whatttttt….
Y’all, outside of cheerleading competitions in high school and my pole family (and there was that Men In Black performance) I’ve never danced in a show.
So, fast forward to the first rehearsal…I was the only newbie dancer in the show.
As I was learning the choreography the mean girl slowly tried to creep in…
“You look nothing like these other girls here.”
“You can’t even pick up the moves, everyone else is getting it.”
“You’re not a dancer, you just do pole classes as a student.”
“You should just quit and not come back.”
Baabbbaaayyyy it was a struggle…you hear me!!!!
But the creator of the show smiled as I left and complimented me on my ethics and ability to be teached.
I sat in the car and let my vixen soothe my doubts.
“Do you not remember how good you looked with that a$$ tooted in the air?”
“Girl we are sexy, we don’t have time for this.”
“Girllll it’s the first rehearsal, why are you trippin’?”
“You get a solo…you are the shitttttt!!!”
With that I drove on to my next destination.
Without my vixen I may have sat in the car, cried, and talked myself out of showing up for the next rehearsal.
There are a million reasons why we don’t explore and expand…peek outside of our comfortable box.
It’s not safe…
It’s something we can’t control…
It’s a lot of judgment that could come from those we love…
I’m here to shout from the rooftop “DO IT ANYWAY!!!!!”
Want a little push?!?!? Head over to my private podcast The Pleasure Zone and challenge yourself to try some things that make you scared, but feel ohhhhh sooooo good!!!
Love Ya’
