In this episode of the Art of Authenticity, we are joined by the wonderful Jacqueline Sinclair! Jacqueline is the Artist Director at Joel Hall Dancers in Chicago and has pursued a life in dance as long as she can remember. We chat all about her journey to this point and the decisions she made along the way that have defined her. We also talk about finding the passion for dance in high school and her early and instinctual attraction to jazz. Jacqueline repeatedly says that from that age she ‘just knew’ that dance is what she wanted to do and had to find a way to make this a reality. This ‘knowing’ that she refers to is difficult to pinpoint but is also something ever-present in her life. She does identify the intuitive feeling and the influence that the act of dancing had on this intuition and she had serious epiphanies while actually dancing, accessing trance-like states and what she calls her sweaty realizations. For a tremendously inspiring conversation, be sure to join us!

In this episode, we are tackling the subject of self mastery and this means we are talking about getting down to knowing the authentic you, under all the guises and personas we have in society. Knowing your authentic self means understanding your self worth and knowing your truth and this in turn can lead to mastery of the things that you authentically want and need. What are you currently mastering in your internal dialogue? You could be mastering the hero and the victim, or fear. Are you mastering the art of feeling like an imposter? All too many of us are on a journey where we are mastering things that are not in alignment with our truth, success, and fulfillment. We need to get to a point where we can see under the mask to the ever present force within us, only then will we be able to make decisions and take actions that serve this real part of each of us. For this and more thoughts on the matter, tune in!
