Meet your host

Hey! I’m Lauren Ritchie.

A mental skills trainer, dance educator, adjudicator, writer, & unshakable optimist dedicated to helping dancers and athletes become their best.

I started the podcast for one reason: to connect.

I had a rough transition from the competitive world of dance into the professional industry and needed mentorship, mental skills, and perspective. I needed information, support and people that I simply couldn’t find and did not exist.

The podcast is built to:

- share the BTS and authentic stories of seasoned professionals

- inspire dancers and dance educators

- promote the diverse paths that are possible in a dance career

- highlight the mental framework and mental tools required to have long, healthy career

- connect the dance community

The podcast has enriched and changed my life in more ways than I could have ever imagined. It continues to be a source of inspiration and action within my own teaching and my life. I hope you enjoy xx
