This week on the PerformHappy Podcast, I’m talking to athletes and parents who are in the thick of it — setback after setback, injury after injury, and feeling like the dream is slipping away. If that’s you, I want you to meet Arya and her mom, Sara.

Arya spent years navigating injuries, mental blocks, and environments that didn’t bring out her best. She battled fear of re-injury, lost skills, and even walked into the gym in tears some days. Through it all, she held onto her dream of competing college gymnastics.

In this episode, you’ll hear how Arya went from feeling stuck and unsupported to thriving in a new gym environment, regaining her skills, and finally achieving one of her biggest goals: competing at Eastern Nationals.

Whether you’re an athlete facing challenges, a parent supporting one, or a coach looking to help your gymnasts overcome obstacles, you’ll walk away with powerful lessons about resilience, environment, and finding joy in the sport again.

In this episode, Arya, Sara, and Coach Rebecca talk about:

• Why environment matters just as much as mental training for success
• The moment she knew it was time to change gyms (and how she found the courage to do it)
• Why focusing on small goals and loving the sport again made all the difference
• How she made it to Eastern Nationals — and why it was even more meaningful after years of setbacks

“When I wasn’t happy, I wasn’t doing well. But once I started loving gymnastics again, everything got easier.” – Arya Page
