Dancing Through Change: A Story of Identity, Resilience & Entrepreneurship with Marina Shiferman

When your identity is stripped away, how do you rebuild?

On this episode of She Wears the Pants, Ashley sits down with Marina Shiferman, a former ballerina turned luxury real estate expert. Marina’s journey took an unexpected turn when she was diagnosed with a brain tumor as a teenager, forcing her to walk away from a future she had spent her entire life training for. Instead of letting that define her, Marina pivoted, rebuilt, and created a thriving career in high-end real estate. Now, she’s stepping into entrepreneurship in a whole new way!

Tune in to hear Ashley & Marina discuss:

•  How to reclaim your identity after life-altering setbacks
•  The discipline and mindset shifts that ballet instilled in her success
•  Why stepping into vulnerability is the most powerful business tool
•  How she’s redefining what it means to be a ballerina in business

Marina’s story is one of resilience, reinvention, and stepping into your power. If you’ve ever had to pivot in your career or life, this episode will inspire you to own your story and use it to create something extraordinary.
