Becoming My Stronger Me
"Becoming My Stronger Me” is a podcast designed to help you become stronger in mind, body, and heart.
Season 1 - Like 47 million other Americans, I voluntarily left my successful full-time career to pursue, well, whatever was next. We’ll call this “my great resignation.” As you get to know me, you’ll see that I’m a type A planner. So to make a life choice without some grand detailed master plan on the other side was unheard of. But now, 2 years later, it was the best decision of my life. Join me as I share my story, questions I asked myself (or wish I had), missteps I made (and how to avoid them), the effect this had on me and everyone around me, and other musings that helped me to become my stronger me.
Season 2 - The Mental Performance Series is dedicated to exploring the intricate relationship between mental performance, sports excellence, leadership, and personal growth. We’ll dive deep into the psychology behind peak performance in athletics, leadership roles, and everyday life. Whether you're an athlete looking to optimize your mental game on the field, a leader seeking to inspire and motivate your team, or an individual striving for personal growth and success, this series provides practical tips, actionable strategies, and inspiring stories to help you unlock your full potential and become your stronger you.

Playtime: Quality over Quantity
It's easy to fall into the mindset that more minutes on the court or field equals better performance. Players often think, “If I’m playing more, I must be improving.” Parents, too, may measure their child’s development or future opportunities by how much time they’re getting during games.
But here’s the question: Is playtime really the best indicator of success? Could it be that our obsession with how much someone plays actually distracts us from the more important metric—how well they play?
In today’s episode, we’ll break down why we seem so focused on playtime, how this mindset can be deceiving, and why it’s crucial to shift our thinking from the number of minutes played to the quality of those minutes. We’ll explore the perspectives of athletes, parents, and coaches—especially at the higher levels of competition—discuss the challenges and pressures they face, and then dive into tips and strategies to help make this mindset shift.
