In this episode, I talk with my cousin Rachel Helten! Rachel is a dance artist, choreographer, teacher, healing facilitator and mentor. In part 1 of this conversation, Rachel shares her story with us, we talk about our own experiences in dance and what gets in the way of us experiencing joy. In this conversation, Rachel and I don't shy away from the fact that joy and pain are 2 feelings that come hand in hand, and so we do talk about how dance has also hurt us both in some way.This conversation is at the same time funny, gentle and kind. I hope you come to understand why Rachel is one of my favourite people with this podcast!Patreon!https://patreon.com/DearBramblingPodcast?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLinkRachel's Socials: www.rachelhelten.comhttps://www.instagram.com/rachelhelten/Links to podcasts with Sarah Helten (Rachel's sister):Part 1: https://open.spotify.com/episode/0OcL5krcG4DigWml3PtXRp?si=e3dc7533ec4f4f13Part 2: https://open.spotify.com/episode/2WMv9VXSMVynKmVoIvbQb3?si=zfWnAo9hSICbNByfg1xCsQ Luc's Socials:https://www.instagram.com/lucatronasaurus_rex/https://www.twitch.tv/lucatronasaurusrexhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkR-ub1FB32Pkq_2G7ziLRgCedar and Sound:https://www.instagram.com/cedarpictureandsound/Grezure Music:https://www.instagram.com/grezuremusic/HostessMisaki:https://www.twitch.tv/hostessmisaki

Hello everyone!Welcome to part 4 of My Irish Dance Story! Thank you so much for listening. Today I have a special guest, Oona from the Instagram page @wmh_x_0!In this episode, Oona and I talk about our experiences in the competitive Irish dance world. We talk about a whole bunch of different topics, such as grief, self-worth and shame. We also try to focus our conversation into thinking about words and phrases that the competitive scene choose to build their culture off of and we talk about how some of those words don't fit our lived experiences.This conversation will be a two-parter, so tune in next week for the second half of our conversation!This was a really healing conversation for me, and I wanted to extend a wholehearted thank you to Oona for coming onto the podcast and chatting with me. It's been amazing knowing that I'm not alone in my weird, specific pain. Thank you for validating my experiences.If you'd like to check out the other parts of the My Irish Dance Story series, check out the links below.Previous Episodes:Part 1: https://open.spotify.com/episode/04glNNu8U3PpRMa51lpi7c?si=29b8c0c591684071Part 2: https://open.spotify.com/episode/6KapP9m1yRkKabZG1heEFf?si=83984860d30a49fePart 3: https://open.spotify.com/episode/0KqLj5sfYomQCqU2Qk6cUh?si=OOC18arGQsiCSLIhVfh2agPart 3 Continued : https://open.spotify.com/episode/6zmK5xO4qxudMCkRNI15on?si=2ed99d35bd94439fPatreon!https://patreon.com/DearBramblingPodcast?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLinkOona's Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/wmh_x_0/Luc's Socials:https://www.instagram.com/lucatronasaurus_rex/https://www.twitch.tv/lucatronasaurusrexhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkR-ub1FB32Pkq_2G7ziLRgCedar and Sound:https://www.instagram.com/cedarpictureandsound/Grezure Music:https://www.instagram.com/grezuremusic/HostessMisaki:https://www.twitch.tv/hostessmisaki

Allan makes his podcast debut with Dear Brambling Podcast and I'm so honoured to have him! In this conversation, Allan tells us a bit about his story growing up back in Ontario.
