We kickstart 2024 with a thought inducing Episode with Yumi Sykes - who fuses ballet and pole in her performances.
We talk imposter syndrome, dealing with the critical voice and talk strategising and goal setting for 2024.
It’s also very ironic that I’ve spent many a day wanting to be able to dance more soft and subtle, whilst Yumi has had moments questioning her own style and feels a need to go more dramatic, more comedic. Proof that those self worth thoughts ‘Am I enough?’ ‘Is my art any good?’ etc. are prevalent amongst creatives.
Why can’t we embrace our critical styles and celebrate our uniqueness?
What is this strangeness that makes us want to, instead of embrace our strengths, pick at our weaknesses like some strange scab that’s very tiny but annoying?
Can we stop picking at ourselves and create the art our hearts want us to?
