Megan Fairchild, THE BALLERINA MINDSET

Zibby is joined by Megan Fairchild, a principal dancer for the New York City Ballet, to discuss her memoir, The Ballerina Mindset. Megan shares how the book grew out of her podcast, Ask Megan, to answer questions from mothers of young dancers and the advice she offered there for how to train without harming your body or mind. Megan and Zibby talk about the importance of meditating or just finding time to focus on yourself, the ways in which Megan reframed her relationship with eating and exercise that everyone can adopt, and what lessons she hopes to pass on to her three daughters.
