Maya is Secretly Sporty (in a dance way!)
<p>Today I’m bringing you a look into a side of my life that is exercise and dance.</p><p>This episode is actually not about personal finance … there is more of that coming very soon.</p><p>Instead, I’m featuring an episode from the podcast <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/secretly-sporty/id1880384163" rel="nofollow">Secretly Sporty</a>, where they interviewed me about why I dance and how that informs my life.</p><p>Secretly Sporty is a new podcast hosted by writer and academic Sebastian Langdell about the way that exercise can inform our creative output, even if our workouts don’t necessarily have anything to do with our work.</p><p>Last year, Sebastian wrote an op-ed in the New York Times called “<a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/07/07/opinion/death-suicide-weight-lifting.html" rel="nofollow">A Medievalist Hits the Gym</a>,” which was about what weightlifting has to do with medieval literature. I encourage you to go check out that article to see how he threaded that needle. The article served as a spark for Secretly Sporty, where he’s interviewed cartoonist <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/alison-bechdels-superhuman-strength/id1880384163?i=1000755530253" rel="nofollow">Alison Bechdel</a>, NYT columnist <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/jamelle-bouie-lifts-for-the-fit/id1880384163?i=1000768355283" rel="nofollow">Jamelle Bouie</a>, comedian <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/chris-duffy-has-seven-minutes-to-work-out/id1880384163?i=1000755530178" rel="nofollow">Chris Duffy</a> and many others about their workout routines and how they impact the life of the mind.</p><p>I’m by no means a professional dancer, never have been, never been close to that (!) It’s just something I like to do in my spare time. So it was really fun to be asked about it, because it’s just something I *do* — not something that I *think* about that much. So thank you, Sebastian, for having me on!</p><p>Go listen and subscribe to <a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/3swd7k7MIYLkHQLnGdMjDc" rel="nofollow">Secretly Sporty</a> wherever you get podcasts.</p><p>And! I have been working on a stealth side project having to do with the intersection of DANCE and FINANCE. If that at all piques your interest, what DANCE has to do with FINANCE, whether you’re a dancer, or a financier or both, please write to me at <a href="mailto:otherpeoplespockets@gmail.com" rel="nofollow">otherpeoplespockets@gmail.com</a> or slide into my DM's on Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/itsmayamoney" rel="nofollow">@itsmayamoney</a>, or find me on <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/mayalau/" rel="nofollow">LinkedIn</a>.
