🥇 Olympic Gold & What Comes Next

A lemon farm in Chile probably isn't where you'd expect an Olympic Gold Medal story to go.

But for Rosie Popa, that chapter may have been just as important as standing on top of the podium in Tokyo.

From missing the Rio Olympics to winning Gold, studying at Berkeley and Oxford, and navigating life beyond elite sport, Rosie shares a refreshingly honest perspective on ambition, external validation, identity, and the pressure that can come with chasing big goals.

Together, we explore performance anxiety, perfectionism, burnout, fulfillment, self-leadership, and the lessons Rosie learned through both success and disappointment. We also discuss what it means to redefine success, build a meaningful life beyond achievement, and why sometimes the most important growth happens away from the podium.
