What if you took the time and energy that you currently spend focusing on the way your body looks like, and utilize it to do the things that really matter to you instead?

Valerie talks about her own experience as a dancer with a body that is larger than the strict standards that our society's dance industry allows for. She gives the most amazing tips of how to release yourself from the inner critique and free yourself to follow your true passion.

She also has some good advice on what to wear to your workout if you do feel uncomfortable with how your body looks like - and it's not what they tell you in fashion magazines, for sure!
