Episode 112: Sam - Challenging Herself As A Dancer

Well, what

I'm impressed, though, is that you're so willing to keep trying new things all the time.

Is that something that's just, like, inbuilt in you?

I think maybe, yeah.

I think it's good.

I am quite, you know, like being here today.

This is not my kind of, I'm not a sharer.

So it's good to try something that puts you outside your comfort zone.

So I know that this isn't something I would have agreed to maybe a year or two ago.

But I know now that I'm trying to do some things that are more challenging.

So...

See, I love that because I personally think there's a lot of people that kind of try to avoid emotions, avoid uncomfortable emotions and things that are harder.

When in fact, I think you just need to get through them sometimes.

And by getting through them, it then gives you a sense of confidence because it means that actually I'm feeling uncomfortable doing this interview like you may.

But at the end of it, you'll feel so much better that you've given it a try.

Yeah, and on the whole, things aren't as scary as you think they are.

Yes, exactly.

And then it gives you the opportunity then to move and grow, which is...

Right.

So

you've had a lot of growth in the last year then?

Yes, well, I have.

I've been doing lots of...

So I've done some personal therapy training as well, so there's lots of things going on dance-wise and work-wise.

I worked in IT, but I've retrained... as a personal therapist.
