It’s not surprising that at some point my best buddy Lisa Hammond would grace the airwaves of PS, but we’re not just sharing banter. Currently in her second year of her Masters in Psychology from Derby University, I wanted to get Lisa so she’s can flex her pysc muscles and talk to us about the reasons we feel the way we do about competition. The anxiety, the reasons that motivate us to do it, even our animal instincts behind it.

Ok, i’m not for a second asking you to do so. But really, could you, would you? Getting naked on stage is a new thing for me. Yep I’ve done it. A bit of a defferent podcast this week as it’s a bit of a retrospective of my new experience performing for Austrian choreographer Florentina Holzinger.
Each month, I get my naked ass out in front of 800 people, and…..I love it. Let me tell you why. -
Right…get this around your head… ‘Are you really thinking for yourself? Or are you thinking based on what you think people think you should think’. Yep. So what does that mean in relation to your choreography? Are you choosing whats right, authentic and organic to you?
