When she was 9 years old, she saw the Nutcracker danced by New York City Ballet, and she knew, this is what I want to do.</p><p><br></p><p>She talks about how she joined New York City Ballet at the age of 17&nbsp;and progressed to being promoted to soloist.&nbsp;After an illness forced her to step away from dancing, she made a return to the stage at age 31, performing as a soloist with Miami City Ballet. She also reflects on her transition to life beyond ballet and how she is currently rediscovering herself.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>If you're interested in Dream Life Designers (Annaleid's life coaching program), send her a DM on Instagram: <a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/actuallyannaxo/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">@actuallyannaxo</a></p><p><br></p><p>KM and friends: <a href=\"https://www.kmandfriends.com/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.kmandfriends.com/</a></p><p>Kathryn's YouTube Channel: <a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/@kathryn_morgan\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.youtube.com/@kathryn_morgan</a></p><p><br></p><p>By sharing her story in this podcast, Annaleid hopes to support other (former) elite athletes or those approaching retirement.
