S2 Ep. 06 | Staying Delulu (In the Best Way): Confidence, Rejection, and Going For It: Johanna's Interview

In this week's episode of The Studio Podcast, Sandy and Blanca chat with Johanna, a classically trained ballerina turned Disney performer. Johanna talks about coming back to dance as an adult, navigating audition rejection (without taking it personally), and finding your zone of genius through movement and community. We also get into why barre feels like "the best of both worlds," how hard workouts train your mindset for real life, and Johanna's next chapter- bridging creative movement with speech pathology. 

 

What You'll Hear in This Episode:

• How returning to a childhood passion (dance) can unlock joy, identity, and confidence

• Real-world lessons from Disney auditions: self-advocacy, rejection resilience, and staying "delulu" (in the best way)

• Why a strong studio community keeps you consistent (and makes the work more fun)

• The mindset behind tough workouts- and how it transfers to life and business

• Creative career crossovers: using dance/movement inside speech therapy

• A simple way to spot your personal zone of genius (and actually use it)
