Summary:

Former Director of the Dallas Mavs Dancers and Maniacs joins host Brenda Teele to talk about why she resigned from one of the hottest dance teams in the NBA at the time.  Walk and listen as Shella tells her story of a spiritual awakening that helped her see her greater value and self-worth.

She shares how she performed around the world and appeared on national television only to find that there’s something more important than success.

Shella now wants to help young up-and coming dancers not make the mistakes she says she made. “Your identity and your value and your self worth doesn’t come from anything external.”

Although she retired after selling the dance studio she founded, Power House of Dance, teaching dance is still a major part of Shella’s life, but now with a new message.  

. “More than anything I wanted my life to have significance to help other people maybe not make the same mistakes I made.” – Shella Sattler

“Little did I know that there is so much more. I look at all of the things that I used to think were so important and significant that it’s almost laughable now.” – Shella Sattler

Tune in and walk with me as Shella narrates how her eyes were opened to a new perspective that would forever change her life.
