Dancing through life ft. Gracie Fontaine
This week, Sophie and Mary sit down with Gracie Fontaine, an alumna of the University of Tennessee's dance team and a two-time national champion who made a lasting impact on the program. Gracie shares her journey from a college dancer to her exciting new role with Fox Sports, where she will merge her passion for social media with SEC football, working alongside her mentor, Clay Travis. Gracie opens up about how God led her away from pursuing the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders and directed her on a new path after graduation, ultimately bringing her to Nashville. She discusses overcoming unhealthy mindsets, navigating body image struggles as a female athlete, particularly as a dance, and making healthy lifestyle choices. Gracie also talks about managing social media backlash, finding strength in faith during challenging times, and offering advice to aspiring young dancers dreaming of dancing in college. As a dance coach, social media influencer, personal assistant, and nanny, Gracie is a true multi-talented force. Join us for an inspiring conversation filled with insights on passion, purpose, perseverance, and the many lessons she has learned along the way.
