Arizona Reflections, Dance Studio Owner Connections & This-or-That Fun with My Daughter

In this special episode of Starbound Unscripted, I’m sharing a moment I didn’t want to rush past.
I recently returned from a Dance Studio Owner Conference in Scottsdale, Arizona, where I had the chance to connect with fellow studio owners — including members of my personal dance studio owner squad, Squad 13 and Pod 1, from across the United States and Canada. The conference was a reminder of how powerful community, culture, and shared experiences truly are.
While in Arizona, I also stayed with my daughter, Chamberlynn, and we decided to capture a little slice of real life together on the podcast. Chamberlynn grew up as an elite gymnast, also spending time in cheer and dance, and has coached gymnastics, cheer, and dance as an adult. She’s trained under some of the best in the world and brings a unique perspective shaped by years of experience both on and off the floor.
This episode is lighter, personal, and unscripted. We chat, laugh, and jump into a fun This-or-That rapid fire segment — touching on life, performance, coaching, and even shows we might star in someday.
No deep lessons. No overthinking.
Just connection, conversation, and a moment worth remembering.
🎙️ If you love real conversations about life, performance, and the people behind the scenes — this one’s for you.
