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.

Sleep and Performance
Sleep isn’t just rest—it’s training.
In this episode, I explore how sleep shapes every aspect of athletic and mental performance. Drawing from the latest research in sports science, neuroscience, and physiology, this conversation breaks down what really happens during the sleep cycle, how it impacts recovery and skill development, and why consistent, high-quality rest is the hidden edge that separates good athletes from great ones.
Learn how to recognize the signs of sleep debt, understand the role of deep and REM sleep in physical and cognitive recovery, and apply practical, science-based strategies to improve sleep quality—from pre-sleep routines to optimal nap timing and travel recovery.
Whether competing at an elite level or simply striving to perform better in daily life, this episode offers actionable tools to strengthen the mind, body, and performance —one night of sleep at a time.
