Taking Up Space - TRAILER

What do you do when grief is so heavy that nothing can shift it — not walks, not dinners, not time with friends? For Jeanique, the answer was dance. Originally from Curaçao, where music and movement are part of daily life, Jeanique knows firsthand what it means to lose yourself — and what it takes to find your way back. In this episode she talks honestly about masking, burnout, and losing both her mother and her sister within two years. She shares why she returned to the dance floor in the week after her losses, the judgment she faced for it, and why she'd do it again. She also tells the story of how strangers kept surrounding her at clubs, asking how she could move so freely without a drink in hand — and how that moment sparked a series of women's workshops combining breathwork, somatic movement, and intuitive dance.
