Season 3 still feels like a dream♥️

I took this improv video the week before I started back at work. Physically, I was exhausted. Emotionally, I had reached what felt like a new low at the time. My heart was broken and aching. What is love? Ever present, but not always felt. When did everything get so heavy? So much grief. How am I supposed to let go? I felt depleted. Even so, there was a huge part of me that was excited and determined to tackle what was next for me. I had a lot of things that I was ready to say and share through my art. Little Kali was hungry again.🥹

On my second day back at work, I suffered a relatively minor injury while dancing something that I loved. I kept pushing through until I literally couldn’t anymore, which wasn’t wise and was being reflected in many areas of my life. Up until this point I’d been lucky enough to have never experienced an injury that I wasn’t able to work through, let alone one that took me away from work. I’m grateful that it was only for a few weeks. Regardless, I was beside myself. My body had never “failed” me before. Big lesson there; you can plan all you want and bulldoze through your limits, but at the end of the day your body has the ultimate say. Listen.

Peace. Balance. Ease. Love. It’s what my body needed as much as my mind and soul did. I’ve been healing much more than just my Achilles and will continue to do so. With great grief came great love, and vice versa. Love was there when I needed it the most. Seemingly out of nowhere. In the most unexpected of ways. Love and grief had always gone hand in hand. My heart still aches ✨and✨ I’m grateful I’m able to feel everything so deeply and make sense of all of this. Leaning into patience and trusting the universe. 🙏🏽🧡

So my month in New York at @verdonfosselegacy has come to an end.
There are so many things that one could say about this legacy and still I can’t find the right words. I’m beyond grateful for everything that everyone taught me. I’m also proud of myself, so happy that I decided to go on this adventure and to challenge myself this way.
It has been an incredible honor to learn some of the repertoire from the most amazing faculty ever and being able to learn it with my fellow dancers who shared the studio, the sweat, the laughter and the hard work with me was the best gift. Each and every one of them was a great inspiration.
My heart is so full I think it could burst with joy.
I really feel blessed and lucky.
❤️

Wrapped up the regional season @savageidxtour and had such a great weekend with my friends. Loved the faculty and the classes! Good people, energy and vibes…

This year was full of challenges, surprises and growing pains. But I made the best memories, lots of new friends and learned so much about myself.

I can’t wait to share some of my summer travels and news about a bigproject I’m working on. But as I wrap up this really exciting year I just want to say thank you to everyone who supported me this year and always especially @summerrennerdisher @misscolleen3 @mad224dance @rossana_nesta @kbear0409 @dancertab @r.b.carr @chaveli.p.

My dance friends/family, J+J squad, fellow Swifties, my Instagram-fam and IRL supporters I love y’all so much. Thanks for following along and always being there.

Stay tuned… we’re just getting started!

Representation matters—especially in leadership.

From national leadership to elite athlete and performing arts care, women in Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation (PM&R) Sports Medicine are shaping the field 🔥

Shoutout to Dr. Melody Hrubes @melodyhrubes and Dr. Carly Day for being incredible physician leaders, clinicians, and advocates! Loved our collab!! Check out the comments for more info about them.
