Life Nuggets & Good Pole Vibes: February Edition
Greetings friends and Happy February! Hope everyone is feeling the love this month! Truth is, we can show and share love every day from anywhere, not just on one dedicated day, in one month. We ARE Love!
Currently, I am writing to you tired and a little jet-lagged waiting for my last flight home. The last 3 weeks in Europe were filled with snow, regional food, loads of pole, laughs and beautiful connections with pole family in Poland, Austria, and Switzerland. Shout out to Iron Pole Convent, Weekend Warriors Pole Camp, Pole Cats and Pole Motion for sharing pole mojo and good vibes.
We are so blessed to have such a warm community of men and women who share a common love for pole. Whether you do it for art, sport, fitness, creativity, self-expression or to share your exotic side, we all connect through our common love of pole. We can build each other up, support and cheer on those around us regardless of your preferred style.
Pole LOVE is in the air, and so are WE!!
Food for the Body
Pink Power Smoothie
You all know how much I enjoy connecting over food. Whether it’s trying local cuisine in a new country or cooking at home, food is a big part of my life. After indulging in all the cheese, wine and regional treats of Europe, I’m looking forward to jump starting a little detox! Nothing wrong with a little extra enjoyment for sure! But..now it’s time to get back on track! Taking a break from red wine and opting for a “Pink Power Smoothie”! Check it out and let me know what you think!

Pole tip of the month
This month I want to give a personal shout out to a few products that have been lifesavers this winter. When it’s cold the last thing I want to do is take my clothes off! LOL! Thank goodness for leggings that are pole friendly. They are seriously a lifesaver for me! I also love a core warmer. Not only does it keep my back warm, but it gives me an overall feeling of being in a warm hug around my belly. Also, I’ve been enjoying experimenting with a new pole grip very similar to Dry Hands. It’s also wonderful to support small businesses run by women! If you use the Better Grip discount code Heidi20off you can get 20% off! I don’t want to rush the seasons, but I am looking forward to warmer pole weather.
Life tip of the month
Taking care of, and paying attention to our self-talk is a big part of our pole life. I hear so many people talk negatively about themselves and their abilities. Words are very powerful and we must be diligent with how we use them. Our self-talk can support our pole journey or be highly destructive. And this is true in pole but also equally important in life! The neighborhood about our shoulders can be a very dangerous place for some of us.
When we can begin to be a little more mindful of our inner dialogue we can impact our pole practice and life practice in a more productive and positive way. We can be our own worst enemy or our best friend! Let’s aim for the latter and believe in our abilities, not our perceived limitations!
Looking ahead...
