Outstanding story from @emptyrink.bsky.social. If you don't know Giselle, it's time you fix that.
I am so proud of this story. It came out like I hoped it would. The coaches were a delight to talk to and treated me with such kindness and respect. I cannot thank them enough. Truthfully, I was scared to talk to Mira but she was wonderful lol I'm so lucky to be doing what I do!!
