In this episode, I am joined by trailblazing Canadian soccer player Cloey Uddenberg! In this powerful and vulnerable conversation, she shares all about her journey from college athlete to professional in the newly launched Northern Super League (NSL) — Canada’s first women’s professional soccer league. We dive deeper into what it means to shape the future of women’s sport in Canada, and the realities of stepping into a league being built from the ground up.

Going beyond the field, we also go into depth about the importance of building mental strength, and the process of navigating identity in sport. 

Rooted in faith, this episode also goes deep into Cloey’s spiritual journey—the beginnings of building a relationship with God, what it means to glorify him through sport and how faith influences her mindset in the face of setbacks.

Enjoy!

Are you stuck on the sidelines of change? In this episode, I dive deep into the fear that shows up when you know it’s time for change—but feel paralyzed to act; I talk all about pivoting in life, shifting your fear of change into motivation to move into a different direction. 

Remember! You’re not being benched — you’re just between plays and it's time to pivot.
