Pointe To Rise
Arts & Culture Podcasts
Hi, I am Susanne, a former international Ballerina, mother to 3 boys, turned entrepreneur. I am committed to raising the bar in the ballet community and starting conversations that not only empower dancers but create change in this industry. Get all the tools you need to take action, stop chasing what doesn't work, and turn your passion into profit. Connect to yourself from within, bust through your fears, and push yourself to new levels. Be prepared so when the music stops you have a plan that will ensure your success on and off the stage. This is a podcast for anyone in the performing arts community who wants more in their life, business or relationships. I feel that these conversations need to be broken down and discussed so that we don’t lose sight of who we are and what we can be. I want my story to end in triumph just as much as I want it for every single performing artist. Pointe at yourself to rise, to all that you are capable of.

Who are you blaming?
8/2/2022
To is a conversation of self-reflection around blame.
Do I own 100% responsibility for where I am right now?
Are we taking ownership of where we are and who we are interacting with?
How many times a day are you pointing fingers at everyone else other than owning
that you are where you are right now as a result of the choices you have made?
Stop blaming others you are in charge of your life.

Ready to Stretch your mind as well as your body?
7/26/2022
I wanted to talk to you about stretching today. I was sitting at the beach a few days ago and I remembered what my word for the year was, and that was stretch, to stretch myself, to stretch my mind and all kinds of impulses and emotions came in. Not, only because I myself feel right now stretched so much - I ask for it this from a place of calm. Today I share how I reflect on this and more.
Thank you for listening,
So much ,

Is the fear of success actually real?
7/12/2022
It has been a little time since we chatted and thank you for allowing me the grace. Lately, I just have not felt creative to chat at all. There has been a lot of learning going on in my world. With the birth of RISE I am learning daily tons of new ways to think and how I am choosing to step into the role of a tech founder.

Why does Action lead to Clarity?
6/14/2022
Stepping away and letting yourself create space to take messy actions is not only freeing, it also requires a lot of energy.
I found myself over the past weeks taking a lot of actions, unsure of whether they would lead to anything or not.
And I not only gained so much clarity but I also learned the more I am willing to fail and miss step, the less I actually do and the more
I find answers to questions I didn't know I had.
In today's episode, you will learn
- why messy action leads...

Conversation with Lisa Seery
6/10/2022
Today's conversation is exploring the possibilities of blockchain technology with Lisa Seery.
Lisa is helping us to weed through the jungle of new terminology and to form an understanding of what blockchain, web3.0, NFT, and Token actually stand for.
So why did I invite Lisa to the show - because I deeply believe that web3.0 technology holds the answer to the consistent shortage of money within the arts. It is a technology that will allow us to eradicate the starving artist mentality and...

Conversation with Damien Simon
6/3/2022
So excited to introduce Damien Simon to everyone, he is a music composer/performer that lives in Florida and well let me tell you such a pleasure to chat with him. It has not been very often that I get to talk to a composer and hear how he looks at creating his art. For so much of my career I just knew the music was there and of course, knew a person composed it. Though to chat through his process and how that supports various performing arts!

Change is not linear
5/31/2022
Behavioral change is often gradual and slow and it takes a lot of awareness because if we're not aware of behavior we are not aware that we are actually creating a certain outcome. Behavior change is a big thing, but it rarely ever happens all of a sudden, it takes small steps to change a behavior that is not serving you.
We always have two choices. We can either be the victim of our circumstances or we are taking responsibility for our own actions.

Conversation with Jillian Murphy
5/20/2022
How do I even start to express the joy I had in connection with Jillian again. This is Jillian's second visit with us, she is a major part of why this podcast is even here.

The wealth of passion that flows from her to our community on the importance of not overthinking our actions. Jillian allows the conversation around reframing of our 'why' is such a gift.
