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 Kelsey Lineberger
In this episode, I’m joined by Kelsey Lineberger—a lifelong softball player, former collegiate athlete, and mental health professional who has redefined her relationship with the sport she loves.
Kelsey’s journey began at just five years old on the t-ball field and carried her through collegiate play in West Virginia and at Saint Vincent College. After graduation, she coached as a graduate assistant at Hood College before transitioning into a career in the mental and behavioral health field, where she’s worked with people of all ages and backgrounds.
But softball never left her story. Today, she plays several times a week, competes in monthly tournaments, and in 2023 co-founded a women’s team with her best friend. Earlier this year, they won their first championship together at Spring States. Beyond the wins, their team has become a safe and supportive space where women can compete, connect, and grow both on and off the field.
Kelsey opens up about how this chapter of her life has been deeply fulfilling and healing—an opportunity to return to the game not for performance, but for the pure joy of playing. Her story is a powerful reminder that sport can be both competitive and restorative, and that the communities we create matter as much as the results we achieve.
