About this listen
In this deeply moving episode of The Complete Woman, host Tori Poulter sits down with Alayne Wadsworth—professional dancer, creative director, and lifelong warrior--to explore how acceptance, self-trust, and consistency can rebuild confidence after adversity. Diagnosed with severe scoliosis in adolescence and having undergone multiple spinal surgeries, Alayne shares how she learned to adapt her rhythms, regulate her expectations, and reconnect with joy—even while living with chronic pain. Rather than striving for perfection, she reveals how surrender, patience, and self-compassion became her most powerful tools.
