Episode 81: REAL Life as an Acrobat with Shenea “Stiletto” Booth

This week’s episode of The Artist Athlete Podcast gets real meta real fast by interviewing Shenea “Stiletto” Booth about her own podcast, Live Like an Acrobat. But hold on y’all, that is just the shallow end of the deep dive that is this interview! Booth is a decorated world champion gymnast who went on to have a full and flourishing career as a circus artist- including playing the iconic role of “The Promise” in Cirque du Soleil’s Varekai. But life as an acrobat is not all smooth canes and straight lines, and Booth shares some difficult truths in this interview.
