What you'll hear:

• a whole bunch of what it's like for me as a teacher

• Lessons learned from the festival
  • You gotta use what you have available to you that day.
  • Cyr wheel is the shit
  • You have to be ok with sucking if you ever wanna be great
  • Chantal McCormick is a force of nature (this is not news)
  • There is magic being in the room
• Some rooms you can get into:
  • Full Circle Aerial Hoop retreat with Jenny Tufts at Sweet Retreats in Mexico, two retreats to choose from baby
  • BOSSUP2024! October 10-11 in Redondo Beach, CA. Hosted by Jill Coleman and Dr. Shante Cofield, it's gonna light a fire under your ass.
• Also, I have to quit vaping again. Once more into the breach, dear friends. Wish me luck.

Don't go back to sleep.
