Grading Yay or Grading Nay? Ft Lynn Tan

Our first-ever guest is back and how we have missed her! Comp season in Australia is hitting hard, and we are loving the new faces and competitions that are coming onto the scene. Both Bailey and Lynn run competitions and chat about their respective newbie sections and of course - should our old, kinda faithful grading table make a comeback with a fresh face?

Selfies & Self Love: Learning to love yourself and pole training again w/ Special Guest, Lynn.

It's another reboot! I have seen this "How do I get back into pole?" crop up in the groups and the chats so here is the incredible chat we had with Lyn a couple of years ago, about starting again. It's our first ever guest! We welcome Lynn - Previous Director of Hanger 66 in Brisbane and one epic pole dancer! The trio discuss the topic of f*ckery that is getting back into pole and falling in love with it again while comparing ourselves....to our past selves. It's a lil bit real and raw - touching on some serious topics of body image and mental health (but we keep our usual nonsense as well) so if this isn't your vibe, maybe skip this ep for the week. LOVE Charlie and Emily. Hanger 66 Brisbane https://www.hanger66.com.au/ Lynn's Instagram @lynnt219
