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.

Inspiration from Emma Hayes
At the United Soccer Coaches Convention, Emma Hayes, the newly appointed Head Coach of the U.S. Women’s National Team, delivered a powerful session on high-performance leadership, team culture, and preparing the USWNT for Olympic gold in just 76 days. In this episode of Becoming My Stronger Me, I break down the three key insights from her talk that resonated with me the most:
"Performance = Potential - Interference" – How eliminating distractions unlocks true potential.
"If it isn’t broken, break it. Comfort is the death of teams." – Why growth requires challenging success, not just failure.
Her vision: "Create a world where the female lens is at the heart of what we do." – A challenge to coaches, parents, and leaders to rethink how we develop athletes.
Hayes’ insights push us to re-evaluate how we lead, coach, and support athletes at every level. Are we removing interferences or creating them? Are we evolving, or are we staying comfortable? And are we truly serving our athletes, or are we forcing them to conform to outdated systems?
