Send us a text

When I first met Kate Flowers, CEO and co-founder of Azara Ballet Company, I never imagined how deeply our stories would resonate with each other. Together, we share our personal journeys of breaking free from gymnastics & ballet's body conscious culture, embracing body positivity, and overcoming addiction.
Kate opens up about her struggles with body image and how she discovered the importance of fueling her body with nutrients. We discuss the societal pressures that conditioned us to feel worthy only when fitting certain standards. We also delve into our experiences with substance abuse, the glamorization of alcohol, and the impact of trauma on addiction. Our conversation explores the challenges and triumphs of sober living, finding joy in activities without alcohol, and the significance of breaking toxic cycles for ourselves and our peers.
Through our connection, we've realized the incredible power of forming meaningful relationships with like-minded individuals. Our conversation is filled with vulnerability, inspiration, and a crucial message for creating a more positive and inclusive world within the realm of ballet and beyond. Listen in and join us on this heartfelt journey towards self-love, mental health, and a better understanding of our bodies.
