• Ep.155 Your 90 Day Challenge

  Hello Everyone! In this episode, we’re diving into a powerful 90-day challenge to believe and become the person you truly want to be. Too often, we say we want a certain life — more confidence, discipline, freedom, success — yet our daily actions don’t align with that vision. This challenge is about changing that.Over the next 90 days, you’ll start showing up as the person you want to become — not someday, but today. You’ll ask yourself: What actions would that version of me take? What choices would they make? How would they think, move, and speak?We’ll break down how to shift from intention to alignment — from hoping to becoming. Because transformation doesn’t come from waiting; it comes from consistent, deliberate choices that match the life you want.If you’re ready to stop standing in your own way and finally live as your highest self — this episode will give you the roadmap to start.✨ Start becoming your best self today:👉 www.balletwithisabella.com💜 Follow along for more mindset and training tools:Instagram: @balletwithisabellaJoin the Ballet With Isabella Membership: balletwithisabella.com — your secret weapon for transformation.

• Ep.153 Working hard but being overlooked?

  Hey Everyone, In this episode of A Dancer’s Mindset, we dive into a topic that so many dancers face but rarely talk about—what to do when you don’t get instant recognition. In a world that often praises quick results, it’s easy to feel disheartened if your hard work doesn’t pay off right away. But here’s the truth: instant gratification isn’t the goal. Growth in ballet (and in life) comes from consistency, patience, and resilience. I’ll share mindset shifts, practical tips, and encouragement to help you stay motivated and focused on your journey, even when external validation feels far away.Because remember—you’re not dancing for applause, you’re dancing for progress and growth ------Book an Intensive with Isabella & the BWI Team https://buytickets.at/balletwithisabella/1801743✨ Ready to go deeper?
