In this episode, I sit down with Portia, founder of Belly Motions and one of the most inspiring teachers I’ve ever met. While many know her for her incredible talent as a bellydance fitness instructor (seriously, she’s the reason I stopped scrolling one day), what I really wanted to dig into was something deeper: her resilience.
Portia shares what it’s like to face negativity, criticism, and even being bad-mouthed - yet still find the strength to keep showing up, keep teaching, and keep building. We talk mindset, grit, and what it takes to not only survive in the dance fitness world but thrive in it.
This isn’t just a story about business - it’s about refusing to let other people’s opinions define your path, and the power of becoming unstoppable.
🎧 Tune in if you’ve ever wondered how to push through the hard stuff, find your own resilience, and stand strong in your passion.
