Are you hiding behind happy? Do you feel like you always have to lift everyone else up, or people please, or should only be seen when you’re happy? If this is you, you’re not alone – studies show 40% of us frequently suppress our negative emotions, all to put on a happy face for everyone else.
Today’s guest, Allison Holker, says she and late husband Stephen “twitch” boss know this all too well. And today on this episode of The Jamie Kern Lima show, Allison is sharing parts of her story, she’s never shared before, with the intention she says of inspiring and helping others, who might also be struggling alone, before it’s too late. She’s also sharing how she says tWitch gave her permission and his blessing, to share them.
From So You Think You Can Dance, to Dancing with The Stars, Allison Holker is an Emmy-nominated choreographer, dancer, host, actor, and author.
It’s an honor to have these conversations and create a space for others to share their stories with you and me together. The intention of the show is to be a force for good and a force for love in the world, and my prayer is that this episode is both, for you, today.
