Psychology's always been my thing - it's my degree, it's the lens I look at everything through. But four life lessons from years of pole dancing? Turns out I was living the theory in my body long before I ever built this podcast explaining it.

This week I'm looking at where my SHIFT framework actually started - not on Instagram, but years ago, in a pole studio. Acting before I felt ready. Setting the tone of a room just by controlling my own. Learning the hard way that trusting yourself beats performing for a crowd. And finding out the plateau is where the real work happens, even when nothing shows on the outside.

If you've got a 'pole' of your own - any skill you've stuck with - the lessons are probably already in there.
