I'm Hollie. I've been a dancer for years now - pole dancing to be exact. It's given me the confidence and skills to show off my body in a way that feels empowering. I've always loved expressing myself through movement, even as a kid when I'd dance around my room to pop songs.

But let's get real, being comfortable in your own skin can be tough - especially when you're growing up. I remember feeling self-conscious about my weight and body shape in high school. It wasn't until I discovered pole dancing that I truly felt beautiful and confident.

My family has always been really supportive of me pursuing dance. My mom was actually a professional dancer herself, so she's been able to guide me through some of the harder moments. But it's not all sunshine and rainbows - there have definitely been times when I doubted myself or my abilities.

I've learned that everyone has their own unique story and struggles, though. Even with all the confidence I have now, I still have days where I feel uncertain about myself. That's why I want to use this platform to share my experiences and hopefully help others who might be going through similar things.

What about you? What brings you here today?
