This week we’re talking about Amy running her half marathon and why it meant more than just crossing the finish line.
We get into what it feels like to train for something after ballet, when no one’s watching, no director’s giving notes, and the applause is replaced by early mornings and quiet miles. And how seeing friends on the sidelines — holding signs, cheering, just showing up, can hit deeper than any standing ovation ever did.
It’s about endurance, identity after dance, and redefining what support looks like when the stage is gone but the drive is still there.
Thanks for hanging out with us on Beyond the Pointe.
