Summary

In today’s episode, Jacqueline Valdez joins the conversation to share her journey of resilience, movement, and empowerment. From professional dance to overcoming a life-changing injury, she found new purpose through Pilates, yoga, and pole fitness, earning the title "The Pole Ballerina."

We talk about the importance of consistency, finding purpose, and building a community that truly matters. I also share my approach to overcoming pain, navigating struggle, and shortening resistance to create a life of impact, fulfillment, and ease.
