Recently I had the chance to sit down with Bri from Apolla Performance and professional dancer Chelsie Hightower, who you might recognize from So You Think You Can Dance and Dancing with the Stars. Chelsie and I found each other when a mutual friend connected us because she knew I would resonate with the mission behind Chelsie's clothing line. Inside Out works to produce dancewear that encourages the next generation to know their worth. That mission for understanding your personal value and worth struck home for me, so I immediately wanted to connect and work with Chelsie. That brought us both to Apolla's Beyond the Steps show where Chelsie, Bri and I worked together to try and answer the question, “how do we encourage mental toughness in our dancers while still validating their feelings and emotions? It was such a good conversation I wanted to share it with you here so this is my conversation with Bri and Chelsie about encouraging mental toughness in our dancers. _____________ Mentioned in today's show: Dance Inside Out  Dance Elevated Apolla Performance __________ Did you enjoy today's episode?

Sweet sweet Chelsie Hightower. Easily one of the most chill, grounded, and positive people you'll ever meet. And a super amazing dancer. So much so that she spent 8 seasons on Dancing with the Stars as well as multiple seasons on So You Think You Can Dance. She's worked with amazing people that are at the top of their game, while maintaining her humility and groundedness. Despite seeing all these successes, Chelsie was very open with me about feeling inadequate to be on the show. She felt a lot of anxiety through the process, but used it as fuel to perform to the best of her abilities. Finally after years of personal growth and development, she realized that everyone had their inadequacies and were all "faking it till they made it." Learning these valuable lessons, she's creating multiple dance programs teaching young girls that you don't have to place your value on any external award from dancing. They can learn that they have infinite value already and dancing can be an expression of the value they already have. Powerful messages. Chelsie has an incredible story and I'm grateful she came on the podcast and shared! Hope you enjoy!

Chelsie is a driven, fun, extremely talented dancer, friend and woman. She has seen so many highs and also so many lows. She goes into detail what it was like to have achieved so much and yet still struggle with feelings of self doubt and not feeling her worth. I love her honesty and willingness to share her insight and experiences and her drive to help others feel better especially in the dance world through her teaching.

In this episode, Henry speaks with Dancing with the Stars' Chelsie Hightower about some big lessons she has learned about life. Since the last podcast episode they did together (http://henryammar.com/27-going-for-your-dreams/), they've grown to be close friends. Chelsie shares her story about some major lessons she has learned this year. Check out this conversation with Henry and Chelsie!

She competed on two of the most popular dance television shows of all time. She taught a rodeo cowboy, a rapper, a “Bachelor,” and Michael Bolton how to dance with millions watching. But on this week’s episode of “All In,” Chelsie Hightower discusses the anxiety she faced when the cameras stopped rolling. "I think that I'd felt like, whether I could articulate it at that time or not, I felt like I'd lost God's trust in me and His love for me...I learned that His love is far different than I thought it was." 1:06- The Story of Morgan and Chelsie's Friendship 6:38- Guided to Dance 15:02- "So You Think You Can Dance" 16:45- Anxiety Resurfaces 23:00- Losing Footing on the Foundation of God 36:12- "Dancing With The Stars"  42:28- Running on Empty 44:14- A Prayer in New York 47:59- The Love of God 51:52- What does it mean to be "all in" the gospel of Jesus Christ?

"The minute I'm trying to live up to people's perception of me, and not just be me, the more inauthentic I feel." I am grateful that my friend Chelsie wanted to record an episode on this podcast, because I just knew she had solid insight into worthfull living. You may know Chelsie already if you're a longtime fan of TV shows like So You Think You Can Dance or Dancing with the Stars. She competed on both of them for years and is truly an extraordinary dancer (I can say that because I was a fan of hers way back in college). Chelsie has ridden the wild rollercoaster of fame, media, influence, celebrity-dom, and more. She's learned to manage anxiety in a healthy way, pass on opportunities that don't feel good anymore, and reconnect to what matters the most to her - again and again. I have a feeling you'll resonate with what she's learned about self-worth; the truth is, we're all learning the same worthfull lessons, no matter what our journeys look like. Show notes How each of our timelines will look different for developing emotional intelligence (4:43) The difference between our perception of our worth and others' perception of our worth (7:31) Why fame doesn't reflect true worth (12:15) The danger of relying on social media to validate our worth (14:01) The importance of face-to-face connection for healthy relationships (19:25) The difference between being confident and having a big ego (26:53) Why you don't have to be perfect to be liked (31:30) How to own your worth so that it replenishes you (35:45) What happens when we share our talents to be in service (versus to look good) (43:05) Links we mention Chelsie's "Bleeding Love" dance on So You Think You Can Dance Chelsie's Emmy-nominated dance on Dancing with the Stars Lindsey Stirling Dance Elevated Morgan Jones Follow Chelsie Instagram

Chelsies' StoryIf someone had told me when I was a child that I was going to be dancing and performing on two national TV shows in my late teens to early twenties, I would have thrown up in my mouth. Not only was I shy to the point that I wouldn't make eye contact with anyone I didn't know, but I HATED dance class with a passion.​I was born in Las Vegas, Nevada on July 21, 1989. I grew up in a strong Christian home with 5 rambunctious, spirited older brothers who didn't mind practicing there football skills on me, and routinely tackled me in a passing in the hallway. When I was 6 years old, my family moved to Orem, Utah. Looking back, it's safe to say there was never a dull moment in the Hightower household and I am extremely grateful for my childhood. If I had to describe it in 3 words, laughter, love, and chaos would best summarize our times together.​When I was 9, my family moved to a new neighborhood in Utah, which also meant I had to attend a new school. Coincidentally, this school offered the only elementary after-school ballroom program in America. That is how I was first introduced to ballroom dancing. At first, I was the worst one in class. I was the last to pick up the steps and had to stay after class so the teacher could help me learn the steps. Soon after I got past that first initial awkward learning phase and being cut in the very first round of my first competition, I discovered my talent. I went from getting cut in the first round to taking first place in almost every competition in which me and my partner had entered, in a fairly short amount of time.​When I was 11, I won my first national title. Soon after, I was re-introduced to jazz, ballet, and hip-hop, in which the three styles became MY ENTIRETY. I auditioned on a whim. A friend had called and said she was auditioning and I thought, “Might as well try it out.” I made the highest team for my age category with merely no experience. It wasn't long before I completely fell in love with the whole experience and it became my life. All I wanted was to be great. I ate, slept, and breathed dancing. Within a short time, I was earning scholarships from various dance competitions and conventions, which, to us, were as big of a deal as it got.​2 years later, fate stepped in and an opportunity to go back to ballroom came into my life: a great partner and sponsored training with some of the best coaches in the world. There was no question it was an amazing opportunity, but it also meant that i would have to leave my jazz studio entirely and was I willing to leave my best friends and a passion I couldn't imagine, at the time, living without? I was 14 and it was the hardest decision I would have made up to that point. To leave that studio, my passion for that style of dance, and all my best friends, and step back into the “ballroom” world, which is vastly different. But I felt strongly and knew ballroom was where I was supposed to be, so I took the leap of faith and that would be my life for the next two years.​We traveled all around the world for competitions. My world became filled with fake tanning solution, the Russian language, and expensive dance dresses. My partner and I worked hard and quickly became one of the top 3 couples in the country, before eventually becoming the National Ten-dance champions. We earned the opportunity to be a part of Team USA in the biggest competition in the world, the British Open in Blackpool, England, and the opportunity to represent our country at the worlds. Well, all good things come to an end and my partner and I split after 2 years of competing.​I was 16 by this point and soon after the split I started my teaching career. Coaching younger couples at first until eventually I was teaching couples who were much older then I was. I loved being on the other side; being able to teach what I knew about dance and even about life to students whom I took great care in. I helped in achieving national titles for some of these starlings and was rewarded to see the substantial growth in each. When I wasn't at the studio teaching I was actually able to have a social life, which was a little uncommon for me and be heavily involved in high school activities, dances and the likes. One of the best years of my life.I was 17 when I started dancing with my second partner and within a short 4 months we became international finalists. We had 3 crazy months of living, training, and teaching students in North Carolina. On weekends we'd fly up to NYC to train and compete. At the end of the summer we moved back to Utah and trained for another 3 months, until my partner decided to move back to North Carolina and I stayed in Utah to finish my senior year.​3 months after that the famous “So You Think You Can Dance” auditions came to town.​I was nervous when I auditioned but I felt peace, reflecting on the doors that were opened to me and where the pieces had fallen in my life, feeling this was something that was “meant to be.” I made it straight through to vegas that night and the top 20 was to come soon after. I made it to the top 6 on that show being one of the 2 contestants who had never been in the bottom 3. Those three months were some of the most magical moments of my life. To add to the magic, two of the duo's I had danced in, “Bleeding love” choreographed by Tabitha and Napoleon and “A los Amigos” choreographed by Dmitry Chaplin, were nominated for Emmy's several months later, which was a huge honor to be a part of.​Sytycd tour was to follow. Thousands and thousands of screaming fans at our shows every night, seeing the country, and making life-long friendships with my fellow contestants, made up the next four months.I was on my way home from tour about to board the flight when I got the call from Dancing With the Stars to be on there next spring season. It didn't look likely since I was still contracted with Fox, but I put the call in anyway to see if they could make a miracle happen. Nigel was great and let me out of my contract.​It was a whirl-wind when I first started and a bit over-whelming. None the less, I was ready and excited to take on the challenge.Which brings us to the present day. DWTS is truly a dancers dream job, and I am so grateful to be a part of it. I am constantly striving to improve and work on my art form as there is ALWAYS more to learn. My partners have included Ty Murray, Louie Vito, Jake Pavelka, Michael Bolton, Romeo Miller, Roshon Fegan, and Helio Castroneves all of whom I have had the opportunity of creating close bonds with and learn valuable life lessons from.​Thinking over these more recent years there are so many memories and treasured moments that I will always hold close to my heart. When I was nominated for an Emmy Award for the paso doble “Maleguena” I had choreographed with fellow pro Derek. When my publicist called and told me I would have a two page spread in the iconic magazine Sports Illustrated “swimsuit edition” and then not long after the cover of the national magazine “Fitness.” When I had the opportunity to go oversees to visit the troops in which became a life altering experience. Being on the cover of DanceSpirit magazine. Which was an honor that was only a distant dream to me as a teenager. The opportunities to endorse products, most recently being the face of Reeboks' new dance line. And just simply getting to go on trips with some of my best friends to dance for crowds around the country and get paid for it. There are still many more things I want to achieve and experiences I want to have and ill keep striving for those until I reach them.It was through the long hours in the studio battling and fighting to make my mark, pushing through illnesses and motivated by my failures, that I found my passion, confidence, work ethic, and most of all the will to succeed. Therefore dance is not just a hobby, but it is a huge part of who I am.​I realize that I have been blessed with much while at the same time, faced with many challenges. Challenges in which I cherish, for they have allowed me to grow and have kept me grounded and humble. Even through the successes I realize that with out God, I am nothing and with out the support of my mother and family through out the years, I wouldn't have been able to pursue this passion of mine. I always strive to remain true to who I am no matter the circumstance, and that determination to do so keeps me focused on the positive things in life, striving everyday to be an example of love, light, and passion to those around me.
