    Ari https://youtube.com/shorts/Ac2YwtV4emE?si=2Yq53B4VJm3TNyoC is the host of the Growth, Grace, and Gratitude Podcast! She is a pre-med/psychology graduate, a professional ballerina, lifestyle columnist, and author who grew up performing ballet at Lincoln Center with New York City Ballet, Miami City Ballet, Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, and at Madison Square Garden. Her poem book "Long Distance Love" is out now! Her unique upbringing has inspired her to open up the conversation with experts in their field for the purpose of growing in self-development. From everyone’s favorite Astrologer Valerie Mesa to ADHD Mental Health Coach Brooke Schnittman, to Board-Certified Neurophysiologist Toby Pasman and International Renowned International Spiritual Teacher Guy Finley, our guests are diverse and motivational in their approach to lending their expertise in the form of offering practical daily mental health guidance for our listeners. We celebrated over 100 inspiring guests and counting. I look forward to continuing the conversation to inspire all generations towards achieving authentic happiness and success!
