In this ep, Courtney and Sarah got together for a chat about the all too common mindset around "my way or the highway". They spoke about how this shows up in the studio from a day-to-day student perspective with ballet techniques, styles, teachers' beliefs, and what it means to "make it".  Please remember Courtney and Sarah are not mental health professionals, and anything you hear them say in this episode should not be considered medical advice.
