Welcome to the final episode of 2020! It's been a long, painful, traumatic year on a lot of levels, so this episode is all about the top lessons that I learned in this most unusual year. I think it’s important to reflect, even if the year was not what we hoped it would be. I could go on for years about it, but here are my top 3!

In this episode I talk to retired tennis pro, Brenda Schultz-McCarthy. We talk about her path to becoming a professional athlete starting while she was still a child and some of the sacrifices her family made to get her there.

In this episode I take a step back from my regular interviews and look at our collective mental and emotional state going into a new year. I break down simple, actionable ways on how to take stock of where we all are during the pandemic and the best ways to keep yourself in a healthy emotional and mental state. Without that, you cannot set big goals for yourself or stretch yourself to reach for greatness.

In this episode I talk to runner and athlete, Melissa Huff. She talks about how she never did any sports or athletics at all until she was in her forties.

In this episode I’m talking about HOW to find the motivation you need and why you are still an athlete even when all of your favorite sports aren’t available. Yes, Covid has changed it for a lot of us!

In this episode I talk to Amy Stone about her lifetime love of running. She entices us with years of ups and downs in Iron Man’s, Triathlons, and now Virtual Racing, and her experiences as a coach encouraging others with “internal motivation.”

In this episode, I talk about my journey during this past year around the sun. Normally it would consist of athletic achievements and athletic adventures, but this year changed my path and many others goals as well.

In this episode I talk to avid swimmer, Cath Pendleton. We talk about her swim filled childhood, how her triathlon experiences lead to ice swimming, and how she fared crossing the English Channel and swimming a mile in the waters of Antarctica.

In this episode, I talk to Dr. Daisy Purdy, president of the Inclusive Community Consulting. We talk about her journey into sports and fitness, how she used skating to raise funds for native lands and community health, as well as some of the unique experiences she’s had while at it.

In this episode, I talk about the stereotypes about age that we face everyday through the news, on the internet, and all around us. Focusing on the fact that age is no limit to what you can do and what you can achieve.

In this episode, I talk about how exploring your athletic potential can change your life. Becoming athletic at any age can improve physical health and mental health, while also inspiring empowerment and confidence.

In this episode, I have Selene Yeager, host of Hit Play, Not Pause: A Feisty Menopause Podcast. We talk about her life as an athlete, fitness writer, and author. She also shares her no-nonsense tips to maximize your fitness through perimenopause and beyond.

In this episode, I talk about our limitless capacity to grow as we age, how we should all be inspired by the remarkable athletes, not intimidated and how we can slowly stretch smaller goals into bigger and bolder ones.
