We've all been there, crying in our cars and feeling alone and insignificant. But how many of us can say that because of that pivotal moment, we were inspired to create social change by Stepping Out of Line? Chelsie Hill, founder of the Rollettes, motivational speaker, author, creator, mother to Jaelyn Bloomfield, serial entrepreneur, and professional dancer is every woman times ten. When she realized that there wasn't a seat for her in the dance world, she rolled in and created her own dance movement. One of her many passions is her creation, the Rollettes, and Chelsie has made it her mission to change the world by showing that all are welcome in the dance world and that the notion of inclusivity matters. She grew up as a dancer and her entrepreneurial drive and competitive nature were always something that was ingrained in her DNA, and that, combined with her ability to roll with the punches, inspires her daily to roll out of line.  Consider donating to the Rollettes Experience's GoFundMe to be a part of this inclusive dance movement by clicking here.

About Chelsie Hill Chelsie Hill is a professional dancer, community leader, content creator, and Founder/CEO of Rollettes, a Los Angeles based wheelchair dance team that's committed to education, disability representation, and female empowerment. She started dancing when she was 3-years-old. At 17 years old, she was involved in a drunk driving accident, sustaining a spinal cord injury that resulted in paralysis from the waist down. After her injury, Chelsie wanted to connect with other women in chairs and build a strong community of women who support and encourage one another. What started as 7 girls in a small dance studio in Monterey, California has turned into the world's largest network for women with disabilities, Rollettes. Chelsie was also featured on Sundance Channel's award-winning TV show Push Girls. As an entrepreneur, Chelsie created the very first women and kids empowerment event called the Rollettes Experience with seminars to empower, educate and connect the hundreds of attendees. Chelsie and the Rollettes are creating a global movement of Boundless Babes by helping them become community leaders and live independent lives - mentally, physically, and emotionally.

When competitive dancer Chelsie Hill got into a friend's car as a teenager, she didn't know that it would be the last time she would traditionally dance, run, or live the same way ever again. As a result of the accident, Chelsie suffered a spinal cord injury, became paralyzed, and lost the use of her legs. This could've completely ended her dreams of being a dancer. Except it didn't. Chelsie's attitude, mindset, confidence, and resilience inspired her to live boundlessly, create an all-wheelchair dance team, The Rollettes, and organize the world's largest global movement and empowerment experience for girls and women in chairs. She recently made headlines for using leg braces and a walker to surprise her husband by walking down the aisle. Chelsie is a leader, a role model, and an incredible advocate for the disability community who reminds us all that we can do anything we set our mind to. She is also a shining example of taking a leap of faith and CREATING something you wish to see in the world. www.chelsiehill.com Follow us on Instagram: Instagram.com/chelsiehill instagram.com/goddesshangs instagram.com/iamsadieolson instagram.com/juliet.piper PREORDER your copy of the INTUITIVE MAGICK ORACLE Deck!

After her accident in 2010, Chelsie Hill imagined a life of unlimited opportunities where women like her, with physical disabilities, could achieve their goals with great success.  For Chelsie, this meant to move to LA and become a dancer. At first she wasn't seeing other wheelchair dancers and decided to re-imagine the world of dance. Since then, Chelsie and her team of other Boundless Babes, have become a national sensation teaching others to dance, find their inner strength and beauty and find success.

Chelsie Hill is a Community Leader, Trailblazer, Entrepreneur and the Founder of the Rollettes Dance Team. Chelsie was just 17 years old when she lost the use of her legs in a drunk driving accident. Ever since she was 5 years old, she had aspirations to become a professional dancer and this accident wasn’t going to stop her. She moved to L.A to pursue her dreams of being a dancer despite being the only person in the dance studio in a wheelchair. I love Chelsie’s story because she learned how to forgive at such a young age and to pursue her dreams no matter what gets in her way!   Key Takeaways When J.R. and Chelsie first met, she took him surfing for his very first time!  Chelsie has been dancing since she was 5 years old.  “Dance doesn’t see disability”  Chelsie shares her story on how she was involved in a drunk driving accident where she ended up losing her ability to walk.  Finding out she could never walk again at the age of 17 was devastating, especially as a dancer.  How did Chelsie keep a positive attitude after reality sunk in that she may never walk again?  Chelsie reminds herself everyday that she is strong and beautiful. She finds inspiration in role models that look like her.  Words of encouragement for our family members can really help turn the corner and develop a better perspective on our lives. Chelsie talks forgiveness towards the person who was drunk driving and caused her accident.  There are two sides to forgiveness.  Despite being in a wheelchair, Chelsie’s dream of becoming a dancer still was strong in her heart. She moved to L.A to pursue her dream.  Chelsie was the only person in a wheelchair at all of these studios. She had to fight and work hard to be respected by able-bodied dancers.  How does Chelsie show up everyday? “When you love something so much, no other opinions matter”  Rollettes Dance Team was started because Chelsie wanted friends that were similar to her and who loved to dance!    Continue On Your Journey Chelsiehill.com Chelsie on Instagram Chelsie on Facebook Chelsie on Twitter Rollettes Experience   JRmartinez.com J.R. on Instagram J.R. on Facebook J.R. on Twitter J.R.

This week we’ve got comedian Natalie Benedict. You can see Natalie at the shows Parker Posey and Side Coach every fourth Wednesday of the month. Natalie and Hannah sit down on her big red couch and talk about: Chelsie Hill (25), a dedicated dancer who was in a car accident at 17 and paralyzed from the waist down. She hasn't her new life in a wheelchair stop her from doing what she loves and she started a wheelchair dance group called the Rollettes! The Forgiveness Project and the F Word exhibit, a non-profit that aims to heal through forgiveness in order to stop the cycle of vengeance. The exhibit in the UK uses photographs and written word to feature incredible stories of hardship and overcoming anger through forgiving. The Forgiveness Project works with families and individuals who have been hurt by others, but they also have programs working with inmates who have committed crimes. The GoFundMe of the week brings something we should all probably educate ourselves a little more on, (it’s obvious from how Hannah talks about it that she knows very little during the episode) which is the famine that is currently affecting Etheopia, specifically Ogadan. The Etheopian government is denying access to any NGO’s such as the Red Cross. The goal of this GoFundMe is to raise funds for the Somali’s living in the occupied Ogaden region of Ethiopia and partner with an independent government registered international NGO that can directly provide aid to the region while documenting and safeguarding the disbursement of aid. There are several gofundme’s out there that are raising money and awareness for the Ogadan famine, if you are not into this one just search Ogadan. Natalies hometown news (San Jose) features an ice cream shop, Sweet Retreat, that is reopening after a recent fire (Natalie’s brother might have worked there we don’t know for sure) and a great non-profit called Midpen, which works to provide comfortable affordable housing and revive neighborhoods in the Bay Area. Also if you are interested in getting tickets to The Ice Cream Museum which Hannah and Natalie sidetracked to at inappropriate times you can find them at https://www.museumoficecream.com/ Animal Corner: There is a real life Pet Detective named Tom Watkins who has found over 2,000 pet’s to date. Also, cats really do care about your affection more than food, but they might still eat your face. Follow Natalie @qualitybenedict on Instagram! Follow Hannah @hannahgator on Instagram !

The Total Tutor Neil Haley will interview Chelsie Hill Founder of Walk and Roll Foundation. Chelsie Hill is a 23-year-old young woman from Pacific Grove, CA, with an amazing story and an inspirational outlook on life that will move the hearts of many. She was seriously injured in a car accident six years ago and has overcome so much. Chelsie Hill is a philanthropist, an author, a dancer, and recently a documentary TV star with a quickly growing fan base. She is humble, forgiving and continues to live her life to the fullest.  Chelsie does not dwell on the past, rather she looks to the future, and tries to find a way to help others. While in the hospital recovering from her injuries, Chelsie and her father came up with an idea for a foundation. This foundation, called Walk and Roll, is now a reality. Walk and Roll holds fundraisers to help the underprivileged who need wheelchairs and simple workout equipment but cannot afford it. Learn more about the foundation at http://www.walkandrollfoundation.org.  Chelsie is also a star! As the founder and member of the largest wheelchair dance group in the nation, she was recently seen on the Sundance TV show "Push Girls" where she shares her love for life. Chelsie was a dancer long before she was injured in the car accident, and today she continues this pursuit with her show as well as performing around the country with her dance group. She tries to help others by holding dance classes in order to help people in wheelchairs learn to explore their love for dance, or to learn to love dance again as a form of expression.
