In this heartfelt and unfiltered episode, Marta Brummell sits down with Jack Flanagan—a Division I athlete at Notre Dame—for a conversation that started off casual but quickly became something much more powerful. What unfolds is an honest, deeply human exchange about adversity, identity, and the internal work we’re often forced to do when life takes an unexpected turn.

Jack shares his experience navigating a significant injury, what it’s teaching him about himself, and how he's learning to meet discomfort with openness and grace. What began as a simple chat turns into an impromptu coaching session, filled with insight, vulnerability, and strength.

Whether you're an athlete, a parent, or simply someone facing your own version of “hard,” this episode is a reminder that there is wisdom in the struggle—and healing in the willingness to engage with it.
