Hey tribe! This episode is giving you a glimpse into my podcasting journey thus far. To say the least, it has been messy! Definitely got some trial and error going. But I’m still posting my very first podcasts because I want you to see the process. Just like in our sports, everything takes practice and time. So enjoy my quick tidbits! Thanks for being here!!! I promise we are in for the best podcast series EVER. P.S. Come hang out with me on insta! At @hersportsstory and on the web at www.hersportsstory.org

This episode interviews former gymnast turned CEO and Founder of I AM READY Coaching. Natalie specializes in identity coaching especially when it comes to athletes transitioning out of their sports and leaving parts of their identity behind. Natalie has a sports story that shares in the challenges and triumphs of the journey and she is so real in what she shares. We talk all things sports journey and that hard transition away from sport, and the process of finding yourself again. We also discuss (my favorite) the power of dress and fashion! This was inspired by Natalie’s hot pink shoes photo and a podcast I heard on Lori Harder’s Earn Your Happy interview with Todd Herman, High Performance Coach and Alter Ego Specialist!

She talks transitioning into being a professional, friendships and finding new passions. Jackie is a genuine woman with the desire to reach her highest potential in health and in serving others. You can follow Jackie on Instagram at @jetpackjackie as she pursues her adventures in becoming certified in Precision Nutrition, coaching club girls Volleyball, and striving for a certificate in Graphic Design.

This episode of the Her Sports Story podcast dives into Megan Astore’s journey through transitioning out of sport and into life beyond sports and college. We talk relationships, navigating careers, and moving on from the athlete identity. Megan is a gymnastics coach, integrative nutrition coach, blogger, and soon-to-be author! Her ability to be vulnerable allows for people to connect with her and her story. She is an amazing individual and this podcast was a blast!
