From learning to trust herself again after injury to stepping into a leadership role as a coach, Caroline’s story will resonate with every athlete who’s ever questioned their identity or struggled to rebuild their confidence.

  • Caroline’s early basketball journey and the role sports played in shaping her identity

  • How she overcame multiple injuries and the emotional toll that came with them

Whether you're an athlete, a coach, or someone who loves stories of growth and resilience, this episode offers real talk, practical insights, and inspiration to keep going—even when the road is rough.

Confidence is a choice. Caroline didn’t wake up one day with it—she built it through repetition, reflection, and resilience.

Adversity is part of the process. Injuries, setbacks, and struggles aren’t signs to stop. They’re signals to lean in and grow.
