15. Letting go of "proving" and living a life true to YOU with dancer Isa Freiberger

Gina Casbarro

YOU'RE NOT ALONE! That's how I walked away from this podcast interview with professional dancer Isa Freiberger feeling.

I met Isa back in Madison, WI when I took a salsa workshop she was teaching. I almost didn't go because I was intimidated by the class title "Spin Technique"... and wow am I glad I did!

Isa has a perspective on dance and on life that is so authentic and relatable and I can't wait for you to get to know her in this interview.

IN THIS EPISODE WE TALK ABOUT:

  • How to tap into that artistic and creative spark, even if you don't think you're an "artist"
  • The importance of doing your art for YOU not the external validation
  • How it's never too late to pursue what you love
  • What it looks like to surrender the need to constantly produce in a fast paced, digital world
  • The importance of living in accordance with your values and your truth, even if it goes against the grain

and so much more!
