  • 68. You Relied On Your Sport For More Than You Thought | Whitney Miller, Former Swimmer
    Jun 17 2024

    Have you ever thought about the amount of benefits we received from our sport? It was our outlet, our form of exercise, our form of community, our passion, our identity. We often don't think about all that it provided for us until it's gone. In today's episode, Whitney Miller is here to chat all about how this hit her hard and how she leaned into running as a new "sport". However, she used this as a place to nearly demoralize herself. A place to constantly put pressure on herself to be better and was never enough. She is the Founder of Transcend Training and Performance and now helps others as they go through big transitions and want to achieve big goals.

  • Soccer Caused A Life Altering Traumatic Brain Injury, Here's What She Learned | Mary Grayson Nix, Former Soccer Player
    Jun 3 2024

    Injuries, especially concussions are pretty customary in sports. While we may think that we're unstoppable out there on the field, the reality is, nothing is guaranteed. Today's episode is a testament to exactly that. Mary Grayson Nix was no stranger to concussions, suffering a total of SIX throughout her soccer career. The crazy thing about concussions is since they happen so often they aren't looked at as seriously as they should. A concussion is defined as "temporary unconsciousness or confusion caused by a blow on the head" or a MILD Traumatic Brain Injury. It makes you think, what makes a SERIOUS Traumatic Brain Injury? Who is the judge of it? When will you know if it's mild or serious? What's the protocol for a serious brain injury? Can you overcome it?

    Well, Mary is here to chat all about her experience. This has been a truly life changing experience for her and we are so grateful to her for opening up.

  • EP65 - Confidence Does Not Equal Self-Worth | Hanna Hall, Former Pro Basketball Player
    May 20 2024

    Hanna dreamt about being on the National Team for Canada. After years and years of hard work, dedication, blood, sweat, tears, she did it!!! Yet, she made the decision a few years back to hang up the jersey. Over these last three years she has done a lot of reflecting and unwinding of her habits and mindsets as an athlete. One really critical revelation she had was, just because she was confident in a space, didn't mean she felt worthy. They are completely separate. This conversation filled my cup so much and I'm so excited to share it with you.

  • The MOST Important Question We Need To Ask Ourself When Retiring | Zach Turnure, Founder Of Everyday Athlete
    May 1 2024

    Once our sport is over, it can be hard to discover what we like to do outside of compete. We may find ourselves in a job that we hate and missing the days of our athlete life. In today's episode, Zach Turnure and I dive into an honest conversation about the reality of life after sports, his transition and how it has shaped him into who he is today. I loved chatting about how we can practice delayed gratification in an instant gratification world and how it can benefit us.
