Ever wondered what really goes down in an online shuffle battle? Today, I’m pulling back the curtain on my own experience, because let me tell you, it was a masterclass in mindset, self-sabotage, and ultimately, self-discovery.

These are MY unfiltered, hard-won lessons from the digital dance floor trenches. Take what resonates, leave the rest. But trust me, there’s gold in this mess.

Because while the world thinks a battle is about beating someone else, the real fight is always internal. And my inner critic almost took the W lol.

In this episode, we’re dissecting the biggest, most uncomfortable lessons that slapped me upside the head:

👀 Why trying to binge your opponent’s rounds or copy their style online is a fast track to getting psychologically punked

👀 Why trying to beat someone at their own game is a recipe for disaster.

👀 The pressure to impress judges can destroy your unique flow and confidence

👀 My biggest regrets in this battle that led me to become disconnected from the music

AND SO MUCH MORE.

We’ll dig into why battling your inner critic is the real competition.

The experience, the growth, the lessons learned about yourself under pressure? THAT’S the true victory in any battle, online or off.

This episode isn’t just for dancers. It’s for anyone who’s ever felt the pressure to perform, compare, or prove themselves. It’s about fighting your inner critic, embracing your authentic power, and finding true growth when the stakes feel high.
