Abrie: Las Vegas Performer Heals Body Image Through Therapy

Abrie's been a professional dancer for as long as I've known her.  A few years ago she moved to Vegas to pursue some BIG dreams.

 

She talks about what it's like being a professional performer in Sin City, the good, the bad, the ugly.  How she deals with the burnout of being seen and perceived.  We talk about her move into fire dancing, how it feels performing solo vs in a group.  And how following some nudges led her into the trip of a lifetime.

 

We talk A LOT about therapy.  How it helped her in healing an eating disorder, and changing her body image in an industry focused on her body.

 

My biggest takeaways from Abrie's advice on body image and acceptance:

+ Being able to remove yourself from your thoughts

+ Remember when you're looking at yourself that it's ONLY LOVE

+ Using solo sex to find your way back into your body

+ Being intimate with yourself is an act of self love

+ Finding your people releases so much body image pressure

+ Go where you're valued

+ And go to therapy
