Grip and Squeeze

Deb xox

Hi.

Welcome to my new-ish blog.
I write about a mish-mash of things, whatever takes my fancy, when it takes my fancy. I am working on consistency though… 2022 is my year, right!

I don’t think I’m anyone special, I do love a good story though.
I firmly believe we all have various chapters in our lives that we progress through. We can’t skip pages, each one we turn reveals something new.

I just want to share some of my story without being a slave to providing content or trying to influence anyone about anything.
My opinions are my own and this is my experience, nothing more.

I try to read a lot, usually have music in the background, and I’ll break into spontaneous dance if the song is a good one.

I practice what I preach: kindness and coming from a place of love. I’m a gentle soul for the most part, working on self love, healing, and growth.

I’ve removed a lot of content from over the years giving the website a refresh, keeping things relevant, and building upon new knowledge and experiences

I hope you’ll stay for a bit and enjoy reading me.

Thank you.

What do you do when an injury stops you performing? You go support your ladies of course. Had to change my shoe choice, but I was going not matter what.

After 20+ years I go see a physio! Just what I needed to do. Time to get this sorted so I can get back to the pole.

Being forced off the pole to recover from and injury is crap. It's agony, slow, frustrating, boring, and yes it always has it's stuff ups too.

A photo can say so much more than words. You don't need abs to pole dance. You need strength, the inner kind, and to be open to the experience pole will give you.

Taking a class not thinking you'll enjoy it, then LOVING IT! Pole dancing really shakes things up mentally too.

I finally ignore my lack of confidence and embarked on different types of casuals. I should do this more often.
