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.

Conversation with Peter Pearson
From winning a national championship at UVA to playing professionally across the U.S. and internationally, Peter Pearson has lived the highs and challenges of the soccer journey. In this episode, Peter shares his story—from his early days with Beach FC and Cape Henry Collegiate School to competing for VCU, before launching a professional career that took him to Tormenta FC, Oakland Roots SC, North Carolina FC, Greenville Triumph, Tus Ennepetal in Germany, and Des Moines Menace.
Beyond club soccer, Peter has proudly represented St. Lucia’s National Team, competing in Nations League matches, Gold Cup prelims, and World Cup qualifiers. But as his professional playing days come to an end, Peter is stepping into a new mission: helping athletes navigate their mental health journeys through his work with NDUR for Athletes.
In this conversation, Peter opens up about the mental toll of professional sports, the struggles of transitioning out of the game, and why he’s dedicated to breaking the stigma around mental health in athletics. His story is one of resilience, growth, and a deep desire to support the next generation of athletes.
