Episode Details

Jeremy gets to chat this week with extremely talented Mario Ismael Espinoza. Mario shares their journey from being a professional dancer to moving into social work, and blending body movement and mental health. Jeremy and Mario talk about some of the similarities and differences of dance and sports performance which also covers some of our thoughts on identity formation and transformation. We also chat about meaning-making and spirituality, not coming from a place of scarcity, but from authenticity and connection.

As always, Jeremy has all his practice info at Wellness with Jer, and you can find him on Instagram and YouTube. To show your love for the show you can pick up some merch! We appreciate support from likes, follows, and shares as well! None of my online work would be possible without my media maven Kenny, so check out their work as well at kenlingdesign.com
