Finding Greatness

Typically in society we hear the message, work really hard to become successful, then you'll be happy.

But in reality, cultivating happiness and positivity alongside working hard is what actually leads to our best performances, and our best performances ultimately lead to our success. So be happy, work hard, get your best results. This is the message we are diving deeply into this episode.

You are in charge of your own joy.

Georgia Simmerling is quite literally the definition of resilience. She has competed at four different Olympics in three different sports. She has over 30 pieces of metal in her body from breaking her legs, spine, wrists, and many more injuries throughout her career. Commitment, dedication, and perseverance are quite literally part of Georgia's DNA.

She is now retired from all of the sports and has founded her company, AG Sports, a marketing agency where she is boldly shifting the conversation from the male-dominated sports agency and focusing on female-centric athletes, sports, and stories.

Sometimes people mistake resilience as a thing that you suddenly acquire or find but that's simply not true. You'll hear in this conversation with Georgia that its a process that takes repeatedly redefining purpose in your life, finding or creating small actionable and achievable goals that continue to give you a path of progress, and celebrating every small accomplishment.

Georgia shows up in the episode as her full self and candidly shares her story. This episode has so many great takeaways, and we can't wait to share them all with you! Listen all the way to the end for a little behind-the-scenes conversation about one of Georgia's hobbies.

We want everyone to feel their best. We want to normalize being aware of what you're putting into your body so that you can make the choices that make you feel your best.

On this episode we're focusing on caffeine. We get into some nerdy stuff about caffeine that we think you deserve to know because you need to know what you're fueling your body with. We get into why we love it, why we don't love it, and we talk about high performance caffeination habits. There is a way to use caffeine to your advantage but there's also a way that can be really damaging to your body in the long term. It may even be secretly sabotaging your effectiveness in the short term.

We are super excited about this episode because we are bringing you our first guest. She is a fierce competitor, a badass business owner, and she has achieved greatness in many ways.

Ashley Wagner is an American figure skater who is the 2016 World silver medallist and a 2014 Olympic bronze medallist in the team event. She’s a multiple time international medallist and is the first U.S. woman to win back-to-back U.S. championships and three total U.S. titles since Michelle Kwan, making her arguably one of the best women figure skaters in US history. She is now the proud founder and boss of Skate And Sculpt, which provides an awesome new opportunity for retired figure skaters to redefine their relationship with skating and to share their love of the sport!

Ashely is unapologetically herself throughout this conversation as she shares how she handled all of the opinions and criticism that she received while she was competing, how she handles opinions and criticism now, and how she has learned to choose confidence.
