Also, I cackle in this episode...a lot. Dicky's episode will be available for download starting August 2nd!

🧘 Next up we have psychotherapist Terry Hyde. Terry is a former member of the Royal Ballet and creator of the app Help4Dancers.

💊 Psych Meds 101. A soon-to-be-announced psychiatrist will be talking us through all things psych meds. What's a beta-blocker and why does Katy Perry use it? What are the differences between anxiety and depression medications? What are pharmacogenetic tests and should you get one? All these questions and more will be answered in this super informative episode.

👏 Listener favorite, executive leadership coach Michael Ian Cedar will be rejoining us to discuss the difference between management and leadership in the arts. I share my "Aha! Moment" when I learned the difference between the two, and how it changed my whole approach (and reduced a lot of anxiety!) to my work.

Thank you Kristin L. Cheers at Bridges in Memphis for creating this...

"I’ve seen many people say they wish not to see the body cam video tomorrow. Unless you take certain measures to limit sensitive content, you will more than likely see it against your intentions. So here you go. Do what you need to do now in order to prevent possibly seeing the footage. Take care of yourselves."

Another great article from our season two guest, Kathleen Maguire Gaines. Applies to all forms of teaching, not just dance!

When applied correctly, tough love can be an effective teaching tool. But you must maintain an important balance between toughness and love.

“It makes me really sad, the narrative we tell children who want to go into the arts. We limit their choices so much. We are naturally interested in a lot of things, we’re curious people. When you tell people you can only go into the arts if you can’t imagine doing anything else ― why would we tell anyone that? I can imagine myself doing a million things, because I’m a creative person. We then limit their ability to imagine themselves in anything outside of this very strict path to being an artist.”

Carla Stickler shares how to make a big career leap and how to sell your seemingly unrelated experience in job interviews.
