I think my relationship with social media has been quite turbulent when I originally started I was just a food page I never even posted my face for the first year of kind of being sharing on social
Ever wondered how someone can turn personal battles into a force for good? Meet Steph Elswood, a remarkable woman who has done just that. In this episode, host Sarah Catterson sits down with Steph to uncover her journey from a young dancer to a powerful advocate for women's empowerment and sobriety. Steph started dancing at the tender age of four, and it wasn't just about the steps—it was about building confidence and lifelong friendships.
But behind the scenes, she faced a tough battle with an eating disorder that intertwined with her dance career. Instead of letting it defeat her, Steph used her experience to fuel her mission to help others. Inspired by her late grandmother, she launched 'Stay Sassy', a project that empowers women through dance and has raised nearly £100,000 for various charities. Steph's story is not just about dance; it's about the power of self-expression and movement.
She emphasizes that 'Stay Sassy' is more about personal expression than perfecting choreography. Her journey also touches on the ups and downs of social media, initially starting as a food page to aid her recovery. An emotional documentary led her to adopt a plant-based diet, focusing on ethical reasons beyond just aesthetics. But one of the most transformative decisions Steph made was to go alcohol-free. She talks about how sobriety has positively impacted her mental health and overall well-being.
To make social occasions easier for those choosing not to drink, she even launched 'Carouse', a luxurious non-alcoholic drink. Steph's tips for navigating social events without alcohol and her dedication to creating inclusive spaces for women are truly inspiring. If you're looking for a story of resilience, empowerment, and practical advice on living alcohol-free, this episode is a must-listen.
