What happens when the sport that shaped your identity ends? In this episode, I sit down with clinical mental health counselor and former college athlete Kaitlin Corkren to talk about athlete mental health, pressure, identity shifts, and navigating life beyond competition.

In this episode, we cover:
Life after sports and identity transitions
Mental health struggles unique to athletes
Performance pressure vs. personal well-being
