Description
In this inspiring episode, we sit down with Jennifer Kuroiwa as she opens up about her journey through mental health challenges, insecurities, and finding joy in activities like yoga, ice skating, and, of course, ballet. Jennifer’s ballet story is anything but typical. At five, she tried ballet and decided it wasn’t for her. Decades later, ballet came back into her life—this time on her 40th birthday when she took her first live class with Broche Ballet. The timing was perfect, and Jennifer fell head over heels in love with ballet. But what gave her the courage to start as an adult, after years of feeling "too old"? Tune in to discover the two funny coincidences that helped her take the leap and how ballet has transformed her life since.
