Today's episode originally aired on Digital Business Evolution hosted by Jess Glazer. We talked all about my journey through the Olympics: mindset, goal setting, and high-performance habits. You'll get an exclusive peek into my life as a former figure skater who pursued her Olympic dreams with unwavering determination. I'll share the ups and downs, the sweat and tears, and the moments of sheer exhilaration that come with the territory.

But it's not just about the glitz and glamour of the Olympics; we'll also discuss the harsh reality of self-sabotage and mental health in the world of elite sports. I'll reveal how I battled my inner demons and emerged stronger than ever, ready to face any challenge that life throws my way. I'll explain to embrace feedback as a tool for growth and personal development, rather than as criticism.

Transitioning out of the world of sports and managing your personal brand or business can be a daunting task for athletes. I'll share my experiences and insights into finding purpose and fulfillment after athletic success, and how to navigate the tricky waters of life after the spotlight. I'll reveal the strategies I used to prepare, execute, and take ownership of my performance to achieve optimal results in my athletic career and how I now apply those principles to my business!
