Redefining our purpose | with former Pro Athlete and owner of Are You Game Conditioning Club - Kim Mcphail

Summary: 

As one door closes another door opens. Redefining our purpose as we grow and evolve is something we are all met with. Stepping into a new identity as we shed the layers of our past takes courage. In the process of recognizing what once served but is now inhibiting us from fully embracing the new, it's important to remember the lessons, give thanks for the gifts and experiences we gained along the way, and let go of the rest that keeps us stagnate in the containers of our past.

In this episode of Courageously Authentic, I have the absolute privilege to speak with former pro athlete, mother, wife, entrepreneur and professional, Kim Mcphail. Here, we explore what it takes to level up in life and in our experiences, or “simply” realign ourselves to the person we are today and what it means to let go of the comforts of our past in order to expand beyond old limitations. 

This week on Courageously Authentic:

• Using the nature of competition to propel your life forward
• Meeting the best parts of yourself in the face of adversity
• Overcoming perfectionism
• Using competitive sport as a means to cope with the imbalances of life 
• The light and dark side to training at an elite level
• Shifting back into balance after competing

• The aftermath: Kim gives insight into what she would do differently knowing what she knows today as former professional athlete
• Transitioning from professional athlete into motherhood, entrepreneurship, business professional life, and more
• Not taking things for granted 
• Redefining our purpose as we grow and evolve
• The upside to being uncomfortable and knowing when to ask for help
