Host Kelly Jackson sits down with legendary LSU women’s gymnastics coach D-D Breaux, whose 43-year tenure is chronicled in the SEC Network documentary The Fighting Tiger. Breaux retraces the pivotal moments that launched her career—from a phone call that brought her to LSU in 1977 with no facility, budget, or equipment, to the years of battling for basic resources, medical care, and respect for women’s sports. She opens up about a career-altering knee injury that ended her Olympic path, the grit it took to coach while raising two daughters during competition season, and the behind-the-scenes fights that shaped LSU athletics—like bringing Dr. Brent Bankston into the LSU system and advocating for the standalone gymnastics training center that finally became reality after decades of persistence. Along the way, Breaux shares the coaching philosophy that defined her teams—“everything counts,” repetition, pride, community presence, and building a culture where individual performances serve the team score—while reflecting on leadership, administration turnover, mentors who saved the program, and what it meant to retire during COVID and return as an LSU ambassador. The conversation also highlights LSU’s broader sports culture, the importance of selling tickets and building a fan base, the new realities of NIL, and the emotional payoff of seeing a lifelong vision fulfilled—inviting listeners into the untold story behind one of the most influential builders in LSU athletics.

In this Lunar New Year episode airing January 16, Kelly Jackson challenges listeners to ask a simple, confronting question: what are you really waiting for before you fully step into your life—time, or permission? She unpacks “auditioning” as the exhausting habit of trying to qualify for your own life, then names what it looks like in real time: overexplaining to avoid being questioned, cushioning your dreams so you won’t look like you care, waiting to feel ready, shrinking your truth to fit others’ comfort, performing humility, getting stuck in “prep mode,” needing proof before you move, and staying overly available to earn belonging. Kelly explains why this pattern makes sense as a nervous system strategy rooted in past conditioning, and uses Lunar New Year as a cycle shift—“new year, new standard”—to end the constant negotiation of worth. She invites listeners to choose one non-negotiable standard to live for 30 days and take one bold action this week—post the draft, send the email, launch imperfectly, set a boundary without a long explanation, ask directly, submit your work, or say no—to prove the audition is over. The goal isn’t to become louder or fearless, but to make one clean decision, stay with the discomfort of growth, and practice visibility until your body learns it’s safe to live as you.

This is one of those things I didn't even realize was weighing on me until I felt the pull to do it. 

This track was created by Cindy Wonderful using edited segments from an interview with me recorded at Wonderground in Baton Rouge, LA (2025) — and it's such a vibe that I wanted the full song to live right here so I can pull it up anytime and play it on repeat.

Wonderground is also a place I'm proud to support publicly. It's a safe, affirming place that centers the arts, supports the LGBTQIA+ community (including trans folks), and celebrates creative expression. When you walk in, you can feel it — the events, the conversations, the resources, the visibility. It's real. You can feel it's a space built on respect, safety, and community care.

Sometimes support looks like showing up, amplifying, and putting love behind the spaces that hold people.

Here's a little story about the song: One day she sent me the file and said she made a mix... but I couldn't open it at the time. 

Then a couple months later, I was back at Wonderground with Cindy planning Anger Circle: The Breakthrough Room, and the song got brought up. She played it over the speakers right there in the space — and I got to hear it for the first time right where the inspiration first struck.

Full circle moment. Loved it. One of the most unexpected, beautiful surprises.

Cindy also created a montage video from Anger Circle inside Wonderground using a clip from this track — you can watch it here 

I love this song so much that I wanted a place for the full version to live... so I'm calling it a bonus track. Do podcasts even have those? Don't know. Don't care. I'm doing it:)

Enjoy.
