From Olympic bronze medalist to TV anchor to mental health advocate, Margaux Farrell has mastered the art of reinvention—and the courage it takes to slow down, let go of perfection, and find joy in the everyday. In this powerful conversation, she opens up about burnout, imposter syndrome, high-performance pressure, and redefining success on your own terms.

Margaux’s story is packed with real talk and hard-earned wisdom:

✅ Why bronze medalists might be the happiest 🥉
✅ The high achiever's trap: always chasing the next goal
✅ Her mental health journey and what therapy taught her
✅ Leaving the news desk for meaningful nonprofit work
✅ The power of routine, front-loading your day, and winning small
✅ What true work-life balance looks like (and when to claim it)
✅ Redefining success: from Olympic pools to holiday dinners at home

Whether you're sprinting toward a milestone or questioning the next move, this episode will help you pause, reflect, and reconnect with what really matters.
