34| Georgia: Beyond the Barre, running a Ballet School, shock of motherhood, sleep training, postnatal anxiety, feeding difficulties and importance of a village.

Season #4

Welcome 'Miss Georgia' owner, founder and teacher at GC Dance and Balanced Ballerina. Today Chloe and Clare get to live their full 'centre stage' dreams, talking all about life as a ballerina, and the mental strength it took Geoegia to walk away from all she had every known. Georgia shocked literally everyone, when she quit the path of becoming a professional ballerina, left a locker full of pointe shoes and leotards, and flew back home to walk the path of university (something that had never been on her radar). After years away from the sport, she was offered a job teaching ballet, which ignited a flame which she says was the slow burn back to loving dance again. Flame ignited, the 'Type A' girl boss was thriving to build the dance studio she never had, filled with positive coaching and mentors she felt the dance world was lacking. Georgia opened her first studio at 23! starting open adult ballet classes, welcoming all ages and levels to enjoy the structure, empowerment and joy of ballet. Georgia's type A personality has made running a business, teaching and studying a joy. However, nothing prepared her for the wild ride of Motherhood, sleepless nights, feeding struggles, lack of routine and learning to slow down and let go. Georgia talks openly about her anxieties around leaving the house with her beautiful son Beau, their failed attempts at sleep training, switching over to formula feeding, and how she wouldn't have been able to do it without the help and support from her own Mum. Another amazing woman and Mother pathing the way, we know the Patty's will love this ep.

Love, Patty xx
