This week’s skater exemplifies the spirit of why we started this podcast. She reminds us that though skating elevates our lives, it does not define who we are. Krystal Roames is a New York native who has had quite the journey over the course of these pandemic years. Not only did she pick up rhythm skating, but she became a first time mother, started her own private therapy practice, and moved to a new city. Join us as we share in her experiences of striking a balance between raising a family, and finding time to nourish her love for skating and ultimately herself as an individual!
Like many of us, Krystal found herself looking for fulfillment amidst quarantine isolation, and upon discovering the strutting stylings of Oumi Janta and Ana Coto her interest for roller skating peaked. She had her reservations as she had long set aside childhood fancy, but as she stepped into her skates she realized it wasn’t just for kids after all. Honing her skate chops in her parking garage Krystal eventually found herself hooked on roller skating. Her love for skating presented her with unforeseen opportunities and meaningful connections to new friends and the community at large.
Krystal also reflects on her bodily autonomy in skating while pregnant, the metamorphosis of her relationship with skating as she takes on new frontiers as a mom, and the magic of finding time to skate alone. Come along with us and get to know her better! Does Krystal sound like the therapist for you? Check out her practice! :
