Mikayla Geier – I Don’t Feel Safe In My Body

Today, breakout Canadian singer-songwriter Mikayla Geier is premiering her new single “i don’t feel safe in my body.”

The vulnerable song from the classically trained ballerina turned musician chronicles her toxic upbringing within the professional dance community.

“Anorexia is one of the hardest things I’ve ever been through. Growing up, dance was so fun and a place of freedom and joy for me. As I got older the pressure to change my body just absolutely destroyed my love of dance and sent me down a spiral I am grateful I found my way out of. For a long time I didn’t know how to talk about it, so on my bedroom floor I wrote ‘I don’t feel safe in my body.’ In honor of this release I will be donating/fundraising for Project HEAL which provides resources to those who are struggling. To anyone going through it and feels like there isn’t a way out, I just want to say it gets so much better.”—Mikayla Geier
