PIVOT w/ Gabriella Tooma

The OG Sheila’s return to the mic, but this time to uncover Gabby’s adverse journey since COVID shut down her industry, brought her back home and every single pivot in between.

The Sheila’s discuss Gabby’s lifelong dedication to a dream that suddenly no longer exist, 2020 weekly humpday hysterics, having a backup plan, and her passion for nutrition stemming from health issues and being in a cut through industry focused on competition and comparison. Gabby courageously reveals her battle with controlling calories and body dysmorphia due to being told not to eat carbs at 12 years old, the fear of believing she wasn’t thin enough to achieve her dreams and how she uses this experience combined with her nutrition certification to help dancers achieve healthy goals. Her expertise and experience provide insight into training as an elite athlete - how to fuel your body accordingly, nutrition facts and foundations that she wish she knew, her side hustle career in judging, how rewarding it feels to support younger girls in with their performances, and to how to hack the judging system with her new found passion project and business - @yourjudgingcoach.

There are many laughs and iconic moments as the sheila’s share their financial investments made in courses for careers they don’t necessarily plan on pursuing, Gabby plugs her partnership with Blue Dinosaur Bars as Emma proudly points out that this goal was on her vision board just two years ago, the painful reality of the NYC dream aka hustle and constant rejection, her relationship with time and making the most of it including bulk tik toks – a saviour, the dating guru’s successful first class love story and her lucky fella, and finally, Gabby’s new job returning to her comfort zone – the stage & the production we’ve all been waiting for.

This episode highlights the reality of speed bumps, wrong turns, difficult lessons and the beauty of the blessings that arise from learning how to pivot when the world quite literally flips your life upside down.
