Heather Morris - Bystanding Up

Heather is known for her dancing; on Glee, Dancing with The Stars, being a backup dancer with Beyonce; she’s been dancing since she was one. Now she’s one of the producers on a scripted Podcast; a dark comedy called “The Bystanders.” Amazing cast with Jane Lynch and Kristen Chenowith, Michael Hitchcock and Oscar Nunez! Find it here: https://bleav.com/podcast-show/the-bystanders/. We talk a little about a lot on this show. From parenting skills and redirecting kids, to dealing with absusive people to having brain-heart coherence to The Bystander Effect and making a dark comedy podcast about it. Heather talks about the fact that dancers are often treated like shit, and how she is so connected to what she’s doing that whatever crap she gest just rolls of her back. And The Bystander Effect is when people see someone being hurt or in danger in public and rather than help that person, people stand by and capture it on their phones. Maybe there is a connection between this head and heart coherence we feel when doing what we love and getting involved to help others in danger and in need. Later in the show, we talk about Heather’s favorite songs that she’s danced to on Glee and how she deals with people who are afraid to dance. Jennifer also talks about having rehearsed responses to deal with bullies, or people who create conflict, and the same kind of rehearsed lines in parenting kids for life situations. And finally a new mic next week and I won’t sound like I’m in a submarine off the coast of Antarctica, let there be sound. Heather was a joy to talk with, talented and real. We had some good skills along the way too. More about Jennifer and her classes, podcasts, media books, support services here: https://connectedparenting.com/ subscribe socialize and please share!
