The Journey of Rediscovery

Tate expresses the internal struggles she faced during her ballet career, highlighting feelings of inadequacy that stemmed from the industry's unrealistic standards. She reveals a past of self-hatred and restrictive eating habits, which she developed as a young dancer to conform to the ballet world's expectations. This difficult experience led her to ultimately step away from dance, not out of a lack of passion but as a necessary choice for her mental health. As she reflects on this journey, Tate recognizes the importance of self-acceptance and considers the possibility of returning to dance as a means of reclaiming her love for the art form.
