Live with Grace

This solo episode is about fears and anxieties that "shouldn't" be there.

I talk about why these thoughts are harmful, and how to cope with/overcome them.

I hope y'all enjoy:)

On this week's episode of the "Live with Grace" podcast, I welcome author, CEO, coach, and former college athlete Julie Fournier to talk about the intangibles of sports and life.

This episode is split into three key areas: Confidence, the Intangibles of Leadership, and the Intangibles of Being a Good Teammate

"Be Delusional" about your dreams, and they might just come true.

I hope y'all enjoy. This is definitely one of my favorites so far.

In this episode of the "Live with Grace" podcast, I dive into a topic I've always been curious about: Possibilities. 

If you are a kid with big dreams, an athlete with big career goals, or an adult aspiring to level up your life/make the "jump," this episode is for you. 

I hope y'all enjoy. 

“It ain't about how hard you hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward...” -Rocky VI 

Being a former National Champion and accomplished athlete, businessman, pastor, and family man, you'd think Tirrell Greene had it all. 

What you don't see: the missed National Championship opportunities, the mistakes, and the times when he fell short of expectations. 

In this episode, Greene and I discuss the power of appreciating failure and having patience/grace/trust with yourself when you know you tried your best. After all, it's much worse to not try than to fail. 

Finding a healthy relationship with hard work and developing CONSISTENCY in your habits/work ethic is difficult in today's day and age. The "100% effort, 100% of the time" philosophy is not realistic, sustainable, nor ideal. 

Learn how the "85% rule" can help you prepare and prioritize the times you need to be fully checked-in to give 100% effort...… without going into overdrive or becoming burnt out.

The choices to rely on a positive, inner circle and to not allow certain people to have power over your life can, often times, make or break you. In this episode, we   discuss the importance of these factors & the importance of leaning into your relationship with God.

Thank you so much for listening!

Obsession often has a negative connotation in most instances. Is it truly negative? Can obsession serve us? And more… is it actually NECESSARY to be great at something?

I am going to discuss what it means to be obsessed… especially when it comes to pursuing a dream or mastering a craft, like a sport. I am also going to describe, in my personal opinion/perspective, if obsession is necessary to be successful.. and what this means for all of you with big goals.

Can you be obsessed or become great at something while also living a balanced life? What's role does sacrifice play in success?

For those who are obsessed/find themselves aggressively chasing their goals, is this obsession something that can or should last forever?

In this episode on the "Live with Grace" podcast, I do my best to break down each of these questions/topics and provide my personal advice and insight (based on my experiences)...especially as it relates to success in sports. I hope y'all enjoy <3

What does it mean to "be where your feet are," and how can it help you reach your fullest potential as an athlete?

On this episode on the "Live with Grace" podcast, we are joined by Hannah Barber, who is both a fifth-year basketball player for the University of Alabama and a social media influencer with over 16K followers on TikTok (@hdebarber).

Our discussion about the reality of college basketball, the roots of leadership, the importance of consistency, and the truth behind the phrase "trusting the process" will transform your perspective on college athletics and provide valuable advice that you can apply to your own life...no matter who you are.

Whether you are an aspiring athlete looking for advice, a current athlete looking for inspiration, a creator looking to grow your personal brand, or an individual looking to reach your full potential as a leader, this one is for you.

Thanks so much for listening!

Breakdown:

Is it always right to accept what happens to you? What does that even mean?

In this episode, I discuss the importance of acknowledging, accepting, and even appreciating present circumstances. 

I describe a challenge I went through a couple years ago, and I explain how my perspective has changed since then. I talk about my internal conflict with accepting a situation that was out of my control, and detail my struggle with letting go of my anger and frustration toward it. 

The big question: Is it ok, healthy, and smart to accept our circumstances? Or is it better to remember our pain so that we can use it as fuel later on?

One of the biggest revelations I had was differentiating between acceptance and resignation. I elaborate more on this in the episode :)

Thank you for listening, love y'all <3

This week on the “Live with Grace” podcast, we are joined by Kirby Porter, a Harvard Women’s Basketball Alumna, podcast host, entrepreneur, and expert on the creator economy for student-athletes. 

In this episode, we dive into valuable tips, advice, and information about marketing yourself as a college athlete, experiences playing sports at a high level, networking with like-minded people, prioritizing and balancing time, growing and monetizing your brand, and transitioning from a college athletics to a fulfilling career. 

In the new creator economy and in life, the most important step is taking the leap. I’m really excited about this one.. I hope y’all enjoy <3

Creative outlets have the power to transform your life-- including your athletic performance. More importantly, they can help you grow into your true, authentic self.

In this episode, I interview my good friend Angel Roman, a two-sport collegiate student-athlete. Not only do we discuss her experiences as an athlete and learn about her background, but we also learn about how finding a creative hobby outside of sports has changed her life.

Between coming to a foreign country at a young age, enduring several major surgeries, playing basketball, navigating the newer sport of flag football, and growing her brand as a photographer, this is one you won't want to miss.

I hope you all can take something from this episode and apply it to your own lives. 

Thanks so much for listening<3
