Dancing into Clarity
Spotlighting Facilitator Laura McNabb Cavin
We are excited to share the story of our TranscenDance™ sister Laura McNabb Cavin.
Laura’s life has been one of selfless service, spending years as a stay-at-home mom and substitute teacher. While pouring her heart into taking care of others, she often found herself feeling drained and depleted. She was “sick and tired” of being sick and tired.
It was at this point in 2017 that she discovered the Brave Thinking Institute when she attended DreamBuilder Live, where she experienced a life-altering realization. She knew deep down that she was here for a purpose—to make a difference and feel good about herself—and it was time to break free from the toxic relationships that had held her back.
Through the Brave Thinking Institute she became familiar with Jennifer Joy Jiménez and the next step on this healing journey became crystal-clear. She enrolled in Jennifer’s Vibrant Healthy Woman Program, where she experienced the transformative power of TranscenDance™.
Attending TranscenDance™ classes twice a month became a turning point in her life. These classes allowed Laura to navigate the emotional challenges of caring for her ailing parents, ultimately helping her heal while moving through the trauma of their passing. With every class, she was able to “shake off the garbage” of her limiting beliefs, and little by little, she released the feelings of being unworthy and unlovable, transforming them into inner strength and confidence.
When the opportunity was presented to become a TranscenDance™ facilitator, Laura felt a deep connection to the girl she once was—the one who had danced for years as a child and young woman. With conviction in her voice, she declared, “I’m going to do this!”
Throughout her journey, Laura has consistently said “yes” to her dreams. One of the most profound moments in her life came during Jennifer’s Costa Rica Retreat and Level II Facilitator Training. Entering the experience with an “all in” attitude, Laura found herself facing the ultimate challenge—the superman zip-line. Despite her fear of heights, she stepped onto that platform and thought, “Where’s my Southern Appalachian girl?” Drawing courage from within, she surrendered herself to the experience. As she soared through the air, feeling the wind against her skin, she released all fear and self-doubt, connecting deeply to Spirit. When she landed on the other side, she felt exhilarated, empowered, and, in her own words, “jazzed!”
Today, Laura confidently facilitates in-person TranscenDance™ classes, where she shares her journey and passion with others. With every class she teaches, Laura is living her purpose, and her joy is undeniable.
Laura’s story is a beautiful testament to the transformative power of saying “yes” to oneself and cultivating a new sense of confidence and clarity in all areas of life. Through TranscenDance™, she has not only found her purpose but has also empowered countless others to do the same.

Celebrating National Dance Day
National Dance Day, a celebration of movement, creativity, and the joy of dance, was launched in 2010 by Nigel Lythgoe, the visionary co-creator of So You Think You Can Dance and co-founder of American Dance Movement (formerly known as the Dizzy Feet Foundation). This national celebration was born out of a partnership with American congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton, who introduced a National Dance Day resolution to recognize dance not only as a powerful form of artistic expression but also as a valuable exercise that promotes physical well-being.
This annual celebration on September 21st encourages people of all ages and abilities to get moving and experience the transformative power of dance.
To honor the rhythm and energy of dance, there’s no better way to celebrate than through TranscenDance™. This unique and conscious movement practice is not just a way to express yourself—it’s a tool for raising your vibration, staying motivated, and living with greater intention.
TranscenDance™ is a powerful way to integrate the spirit of National Dance Day into your daily life. By engaging in the ten phases of this practice, you can tap into your inner creativity, release stress, and connect deeply with your true self. Whether you’re looking to boost your mood, feel more connected to your purpose, or simply enjoy the freedom of movement, TranscenDance™ offers a path to embody your highest potential.
So, as you celebrate National Dance Day, consider how you can carry the joy and benefits of dance beyond this special day. Let TranscenDance™ be your guide, helping you to maintain a positive mindset, stay energized, and embrace the power of dance in every aspect of your life.
Boost Your Vibes
3 Dance-Driven Secrets
One thing people around the world love about TranscenDance™ is that it offers a unique blend of movement and mindfulness that can help you connect with your inner strength and vision. Whether you’re looking to sharpen your focus, build self-assurance, or simply align with your true self, these three dynamic practices from TranscenDance™ can guide you toward greater clarity and confidence. Let’s dive into how dancing through these stages can transform your mindset and energize your spirit
1. Set Intentions with Purpose (SOURCE Phase)
Before you begin your TranscenDance™ practice, take a moment to ground yourself and set a clear intention for what you wish to achieve. Whether it’s clarity on a decision, direction in your life, or simply a boost in confidence, connecting with your inner source helps align your actions with your deeper desires. By focusing your mind on a specific goal, you enhance your clarity and set the stage for a confident journey through the dance of life.
2. Release and Renew (SHIFT Phase)
The Dance of Release is where you can actively let go of any negative thoughts, self-doubt, or stress that clouds your mind. As you shake, bounce, and move your body, you physically and emotionally release the tensions that weigh you down. This act of releasing opens up space within you, inviting in positive energy and renewed confidence. The SHIFT phase helps clear mental clutter, allowing you to move forward with a refreshed, clear mind and a stronger sense of self-assurance.
3. Embody Your Vision (SURRENDER Phase)
In the Dance of Surrender, you allow the music and movement to guide you fully, embodying the energy of the goals and dreams you set in the SOURCE phase. This is where you become a vibrational match for what you desire, dancing with the confidence and clarity of someone who knows their purpose and is aligned with it. By surrendering to the flow, you build a deep connection with your inner power, fostering an unwavering confidence that shines through in your daily life.
Incorporating these three phases of TranscenDance™ into your routine can help you maintain a clear mind and a confident heart, ready to face whatever comes your way with grace and purpose.
By integrating these practices into your routine, you’ll find yourself not only more focused but also empowered to face challenges with a renewed sense of self-assurance. Remember, every step you take in conscious dance is a step towards a more vibrant, confident version of yourself. Dance on, and let your inner light shine brighter than ever!
