from Paring Down: Realistic minimalism, decluttering, & intentional living · host Cloud10
Today I’m joined by my dear friend from high school, Deja Riley! Watching her career evolve from a professional dancer into a powerful voice in the fitness and wellness space has been so motivating. Deja shares how her time in the entertainment industry shaped her perspective on movement, which is why she now helps people connect to movement in a way that feels joyful and accessible. In this episode, you'll learn: • About Deja’s transition from dance the fitness industry • The mindset shift from performance-based success to what just feels good • Practical ways to make fitness feel approachable, flexible, and enjoyable. Deja reminds us that movement doesn’t have to look a certain way to be meaningful and bring more joy to our lives. PARING DOWN (SHANNON LEYKO): Sign up for my newsletter! The L.E.S.S.
