<p>On this episode of The Cinnamon Effect, host Kimberly Hand sits down with Peter Robbins to talk about an unexpected wellness hack: dance. The two share why they committed to stepping far outside their comfort zones to compete in Battle of the Ballroom, a high-energy fundraising event supporting the next generation of performers at the Goldner Conservatory at the Maltz Jupiter Theatre.</p><p>What starts as a conversation about ballroom dancing quickly turns into a deeper exploration of movement as medicine, the courage it takes to try something new in midlife, and the powerful example it sets for our kids when we choose growth over comfort. </p><p>Kimberly and Peter reflect on parenting through action instead of words - showing their children that real progress comes from practice, patience, and persistence, not the instant gratification often portrayed on social media.</p><p>They also share the behind-the-scenes realities of learning to dance, embracing vulnerability, and discovering joy in the process. Because sometimes the real win isn’t the trophy—it’s showing up, doing the work, and enjoying the journey.</p><p></p><p>Vote for Peter: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://one.bidpal.net/2026mjtbroadwayballroombattle/browse/all(details:item/9)">https://one.bidpal.net/2026mjtbroadwayballroombattle/browse/all(details:item/9)</a></p><p>Vote for Kim:</p><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://one.bidpal.net/2026mjtbroadwayballroombattle/browse/all(details:item/5)">https://one.bidpal.net/2026mjtbroadwayballroombattle/browse/all(details:item/5)</a></p><p></p><p>To connect with host Kimberly Hand:</p><p>Website: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.kimberlyhand.com">https://www.kimberlyhand.com</a></p><p>Instagram: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.instagram.com/kimberlyhand_">https://www.instagram.com/kimberlyhand_</a></p><p>Shop The Cinnamon Effect Journal here: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://thecinnamoneffect.com/journal">https://thecinnamoneffect.com/journal</a></p><p></p><p>The Cinnamon Effect is recorded at PodPlus Studios ( @PodPlusStudios ) in Jupiter, Florida, and produced by Hype Boss ( @hype-boss-hype-boss )</p><p></p><p>For more information, visit <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.podplusstudios.com">https://www.podplusstudios.com</a>.</p>
