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 Lydia Radcliffe
In this episode, I sit down with Lydia Radcliffe, a dedicated soccer coach and former collegiate athlete, whose journey has come full circle. Lydia began her soccer career at Chapelgate Christian Academy before going on to play Division I soccer at Charleston Southern University, where she developed her skills and passion for the game.
After college, Lydia transitioned into coaching, serving as an Assistant Women's Soccer Coach at the University of Maryland. Her experiences both on the field and on the sidelines have equipped her with a unique perspective on the challenges and triumphs of athletes at all levels. Now, Lydia is back at her alma mater, leading the varsity girls' soccer team at Chapelgate Christian Academy, where she is committed to developing not just strong athletes but well-rounded young women.
Lydia shares her story, insights on coaching, and the lessons she's learned about leadership, resilience, and creating a positive team culture. She also discusses the importance of nurturing athletes' mental and emotional well-being, drawing on her experiences as both a player and a coach.
