Molly Carlson is a professional cliff diver/high diver. She’s very open with her own body issues and anxieties, is an advocate for mental health, and has a group called BraveGang for supporting each other through what could be crippling fear and anxiety.

The story post before this one, she admitted that every time she jumps, she’s scared. But she does it anyway, and when she hits the water, she wants to do it all over again.

I just realized that while I’m nervous every time I hit a competitive dance floor, or even every time I do a show performance, there’s a little bit of fear and anxiety and adrenaline rush. But once the music starts, it’s just adrenaline, no fear, and dance strategy for floorcraft. And I walk off the floor wanting to do it all again.

Dance is my safe space.
