Welcome to another episode of the Showbiz Side Hustle Podcast! In this inspiring instalment from our "Spotlight" series, host Nicole Louise Geddes sits down with Kirsty Anderson: dance educator, Level 4 Pilates instructor and founder of KLA Fitness. Kirsty opens up about her deeply personal journey, sharing how a sudden, life-altering injury shifted her career trajectory away from the traditional showbiz stage and towards a path of teaching, healing and making a real difference in her community.

Recorded as part of the "Spotlight on Success" book collaboration, this episode dives into Kirsty's story of resilience, self-discovery, and the power of pivoting with purpose. From navigating the challenges of hypermobility to reinventing her passion for dance through education, Kirsty brings honesty, positivity, and hard-won wisdom, reminding us that the end of one act is just the beginning of another.

Whether you're a performer facing setbacks, an aspiring entrepreneur, or simply seeking a boost of motivation, this conversation is packed with raw reflections, practical insights, and a strong message: keep believing in yourself, follow your own path, and trust the journey. Get ready to be uplifted and inspired to shine—no matter where life’s spotlight finds you!
