In this week’s episode of The Lemon Tree Coaching Podcast, Dr. Allison Sucamele explores the beautiful intersection of movement, emotion, and psychology. 

From the brain’s release of feel-good chemicals when we move to music, to the emotional storytelling woven into dance performances, this episode unveils how rhythm becomes a bridge between body and soul.

We’ll talk about how dance can heal, express, and connect us—from the science of flow states and neurochemistry to the vulnerability of lyrical movement like Nappytabs’ iconic “Bleeding Love” routine.

Whether you’re a trained dancer or someone who sways in your kitchen, you’ll walk away understanding why dance is far more than choreography—it’s emotional language, embodied therapy, and a profound act of self-liberation.
