The Bionic Ballerina: A Journey with Scoliosis featuring Meredith Montana

In this episode Elizabeth and Meredith open up about their personal journeys with scoliosis -- stories that are uniquely their own, yet deeply connected through shared resilience.  They explore the physical, emotional, and spiritual challenges they've faced along the way, from the shock of the diagnosis to navigating body image, chronic pain, and the search for identity and healing.  Through honest conversation, they shed light on the unseen layers of living with a curved spine and how their experiences have shaped who they are today.  Whether you're living with scoliosis or love someone who is, this heartfelt dialogue offers hope, connection, and the reminder that you're never alone.

Diagnosed with scoliosis at age 11, Meredith Montana (The Bionic Ballerina) and Founder of The Bionic Project, went from a promising ballet student to facing a rapidly progressing spinal curve that reached 73 degrees.  Refusing early surgery, she wore a SpineCor brace throughout high school and college while continuing her rigorous dance training.  After performing the lead ballet role in Oklahoma!  during college, she chose to undergo spinal fusion surgery at age 21, receiving 24 screws and two titanium rods. Just six months later, she returned to dancing and soon graduated with a BFA in Musical Theatre.  She trained at the Rockette Summer Intensive, performed for Cher in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, and walked in New York Fashion Week, and now dances professionally with Black Haus Creative.
