from More Than Dance · host Krissy Phillipino

This episode is all about the power of “yes, and” and asking yourself one simple question:Are you saying yes enough in your life?I talk about how so many opportunities pass us by because we’re closed, tired, overwhelmed, guarded, or stuck in our ego. We say “I wish I could” instead of “yes, and how could I?”We explore “yes, and” through dance, improv, contact improv, and real life  where movement is a conversation, curiosity leads the way, and not needing to worry about being wrongThis episode breaks down how to:adopt a yes-and mindset without abandoning your boundariesseparate yourself into your higher self when resistance shows upsay yes even when it’s uncomfortable, imperfect, or tiringhold two things at once: “yes I want this” AND “I need rest”stay open while still honoring your energycheck when your no is coming from ego vs self-respectI talk about practical examples going to class even when you’re tired, leaving early when you need to, starting conversations, small gestures of openness, and how “yes, and” creates more connection in rooms, relationships, and community.This isn’t about saying yes to everything.It’s about saying yes with awareness."Yes, and” can sound like:• Yes, I want to go... and I’ll leave early.• Yes, I care.. and I need to do this first.• Yes, this is hard... and I’m still showing up.When you live in “yes, and,” you stay open to different paths to the same destination And that’s where growth, creativity, and momentum live.Follow:Krissy: @krissyphillipinoKDFSTUDIO: @kdfstudio
