Q&A - Coaching Advice, Finding your Passion, and the Power of Relationships 

On this episode of Life After Cheer, Claudia Ralph returns to the podcast! Claudia and I answer plenty of questions and advise on finding your passion and how meaningful relationships are.  

Tune in for a riveting episode!

Here are a few specific points we discuss that seem worth pointing out:

1. [10:45] If you don’t apply yourself, then you’re never going to get what you want - you have to, at the very least, try
2. [25:50] Stick to your guns - don’t let people tell you how to run things; it’s up to you how things are run, not them, after all
3. [33:35] We are our very own worst critics, so sometimes we need those people who will cheer on us and believe in our capabilities during hard times when we can’t believe in ourselves
