It's pretty much common knowledge that my obsession with Cirque du Soleil is borderline unhealthy. I'll even plan my travel itinerary around whether or not there's a Cirque performance in the city I'm visiting.

This is why I'll never pass on the opportunity to talk with someone from Cirque du Soleil's team. In this instance I was able to chat with Marissa King, a power track performer and University of Florida graduate.

In addition to sharing how she ended up selected by Cirque to become part of the performers, she also talks about the power of connection of support between other women gymnasts and how we can spread this type of support through all other industries.
