Ep. 90 - “If Only I’d Started Sooner..." Reframing Regret as an Adult Ballet Dancer, with Merry King

Send Hannah a question or say hello! Ever wish you’d started ballet sooner? You’re not alone. But today's guest is living proof that "late" might actually be right on time... In this episode of After Class , Hannah sits down with Merry King , a university professor who decided in her 30's to chase a lifelong dream of dancing professionally. Together, we unpack that familiar ache of “If only I’d started sooner,” why so many adult dancers carry it, and how reframing your timeline can transform the way you show up in the studio (or on the stage). Whether you're returning to ballet after a long break, or just beginning to fulfill a life-long dream, I know Merry's insights and hard-won perspective are just what you need to hear. If you’ve ever questioned your timing or regretted your path, this conversation is for you.
