The Normal World of Hannah Martin","description":"<p>In this episode of&nbsp;<em>The Normal World</em>, host Annaleid Bakker interviews Hannah Martin about her elite rhythmic gymnastics and professional ballet career.</p><p><br></p><p>Hannah started rhythmic gymnastics at the age of 8, when she discovered that the sport embraced her flexibility. She worked her way towards going to the Commonwealth Games and World Championships to represent her country. She talks about leaving the sport at 14 and pursuing her passion for ballet. After graduating from Elmhurst Ballet School, she joined the Birmingham Royal Ballet. We also spoke about the year she was injured and the challenges she faced when she had to rediscover herself outside of ballet. </p><p><br></p><p>If you're interested in Annaleid's aligned self-leadership coaching program, send her a DM on Instagram: <a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/actuallyannaxo/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">@actuallyannaxo</a></p><p>Or check out her newest podcast: <a href=\"https://open.spotify.com/show/6UXfjWZKGaNVgG6aDsCYBV?si=f8cc92f9051248da\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Powerful in Balance</a></p><p><br></p><p>Make It Happen academy: <a href=\"https://make-it-happen-academy.teachery.co/make-it-happen-academy\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://make-it-happen-academy.teachery.co/make-it-happen-academy</a></p><p>Hannah's YouTube Channel: <a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCi6M1DBGeFMNW0tGaLoQ11g\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.youtube.com/@hannahmartinRG</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.
