You Live and You Learn with Aish Hinton

What happens when the dream you never planned transforms into a legacy that changes lives?

In this episode, Aish talks with Naya Tapper—Olympian, bronze medalist, and trailblazer for women’s rugby in the U.S.—about the winding, unexpected path from backyard football to the Olympic podium. With honesty and humor, Naya reflects on everything from being the only girl on the football field, to facing her first real failure as a pro athlete, to discovering the quiet strength found in therapy and leadership.

Together, they explore the role of identity, adversity, and grace in building both character and community. They also discuss why, sometimes, you have to let the winds of fate take you right where you belong.

Naya also shares her commitment to giving back through the Naya Tapper Scholarship, helping young players access the sport that changed her life.
