Ep 31: Amy Hazel: The Power of the Mind in Pole, HA Recovery, and Motherhood

This week Jenna was so blessed with the opportunity to talk to the iconic Amy Hazel! Pole dancers all over the world know Amy for her flexibility, athleticism, colorful style, and prolific competitive career, which includes titles from Miss Pole Dancer Australia, Aerial All Stars, Pole Theatre, and more!

In this episode, Jenna talks with Amy about her career as a professional pole dancer, what her lifestyle was like at the height of her career, and the changes she had to make in order to shift gears and make her dreams of starting a family come true. Amy talks us through her journey to recover from hypothalamic amenorrhea, and how she kept her new goals in mind in order to overcome the challenges that recovery presented. Finally, we chat about her motherhood journey, through her first pregnancy and postpartum experience, into her second current pregnancy, and what she is looking forward to in the future!

Amy is a true inspiration: she is mentally tough and her journey is evidence of the incredible power of a strong mind! She is also a delight: she every bit as kind and genuine as she seems on Instagram!
