This week's guest is one of the most decorated snowboarders in the history of the sport. Jamie Anderson won the gold medal in the inaugural Women's Slopestyle Even at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia and repeated winning another gold medal in the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea, making her the first female snowboarder to win more than one Olympic gold medal. Including her performances at the Winter X Games Jamie has won 25 total medals: eighteen gold, five silver, and two bronze. All of these accolades make Jamie Anderson a force to be reckoned with in the world of snowboarding, however what caught my eye about her is her perspective around living life in harmony with one's Soul vs one's Ego. 

Jamie has been featured in a host of articles and print media around her blend of spirituality, yoga, meditation, breathwork and mindfulness and how these practices have not only influenced her athletic performance, but also her life in general. 

Jamie has a calm and compassionate demeanor. Her warmth and smile exude an invitation to ask questions and learn more. If you weren't a snowboarding aficionado, chances are you would connect with her because of her kindness and have no clue she has won 25 medals between the Olympics and Winter X Games. This is by far the most impressive stat in Jamie's accomplishments throughout her career, is the person she has built through the work she has done and the awareness she brings to the conversation outside of her dominance in the sport she competes in.

It was a breath of fresh air to talk to such an accomplished athlete who is also an ambassador for sustainability, mindful living, and treating oneself and others kindly.
