HOLIDAY REPLAY: S2E20 with Tanner Haney - Moving Through Fear and Finding Freedom

from JUST DO YOU. · host Eric Nicoll

The holidays are a time to reflect, release, and reclaim what brings us joy—and this episode is exactly that.Formerly titled “One Song, One Dance, and a Moment of Courage,” this conversation brought us so much joy, along with a powerful call to action as a reminder to never shrink yourself in fear!In this special holiday replay, I sit down with Tanner Haney, a Los Angeles–based actor who challenged himself to dance in public for 30 days straight ... right in front of total strangers ... and ask them to film him. What began as a bold personal experiment quickly became a radical act of self-acceptance.After coming out, Tanner found himself wrestling with the fear of being fully seen and the pressure to tone himself down ... a pressure so many of us in the LGBTQ+ community still face every single day. This year, as his birthday approached, he made a courageous choice: to stop shrinking and start reclaiming his joy, freedom, and authenticity, one dance at a time.We talk about fear, vulnerability, the healing power of movement, and what happens when you stop hiding and start showing up as your truest self. In our current climate, this conversation feels more important than ever and is a reminder to live out loud and stay true.If you’ve ever dimmed your light to feel safe, let this holiday replay be your reminder: JOY IS BRAVE. Give yourself this beautiful gift and unwrap the courage to be fully seen.Happy holidays to you and yours and know that you are seen, you are valued and you matter ... AND always remember to JUST DO YOU!Welcome to the conversation.To follow Tanner, visit:  https://www.instagram.com/tannerhaneySend us Fan MailThank you for joining us and we can't wait to welcome you back again next week!
