Today, as I watched Saumya Kamble’s Red Bull performance for the bazillionth time, something shifted in me. She’s such a PHENOMENAL dancer. Her skill is unmatched. I’ve watched the same performance more times than I can count, and I get out of my seat, screaming with amazement every time. AND it wasn’t her skill that shifted things for me, today. It was her freedom.

As I watched her performances today, I recognized the absence of something that resides within me. It was so refreshing to see the absence of societal shame.
She was having so much fun, doing what she clearly loves. She is free in ways that so many people (particularly women) are not. And I love that. I want that.
Today, as I watched her, I tapped in to my own desire for uninhibited passion and joy.
Due to the introduction of shame in my life—through my upbringing, family, church, school, life experiences, etc.—I stopped living full out. I learned early on to only show so much, only do so much, only share so much, only trust so much….
Watching her dance, I saw the beauty of being uninhibited. I saw how she was able to show up fully and the impact it had on all who watched.
I was moved through her dance to release my own inhibitions, so I can show up more fully, have a greater impact, and live my life with more passion and joy.
So thank you, Saumya. I dedicate this episode to you.
I ended up processing a lot of what I experienced on today’s podcast. I think I explain it better on the actual recording so I’ll end this here.
Please check out today’s podcast. If you read this far, there’s likely something in it for you.
Blessings!
