In this Episode we dive into Catie’s college lacrosse experience at Colgate. Catie experienced something an athlete should never have to face at any level of sport. Having a coach steal your love for the sport is one of the most heartbreaking experiences an athlete can go through. Catie talks about how she often suppressed expressing her mental health in order to save her playing time. She felt like she couldn’t quit because quitting is so frowned upon but to endure the pain and abuse at what cost?!

This is a tough subject and one not often talked about until it’s too late. Tap in to start the conversation. Let’s all do our part to keep these coaches & political decisions far away from sports!

In this episode we get to know more about Barbs companies and her work with teams. As Barb beautifully says “teams run the world”. She helps athletes find the right fit when it comes to finding a college as well as helping them along the journey. Wow what a beautiful gift that is! Talk about doing something that you love! If I could go back in time I would have benefited from working with Barb tremendously.

Hop into the pod to learn a bit of knowledge & food for thought from a 30 year long basketball coach and overall intelligent woman!

In this episode Taylor & I dive into her high school experience in traditional athletics. Taylor courageously speaks on her experiences with disordered eating, what it looked & felt like for her. We talk about how she navigated her way out of soccer practice & into the mountains on two wheels. Taylor talks about how the switch was vital to her personal successes.

After recording this podcast I went on to thank Taylor for leading the way. Having this chat helped me navigate and understand a bit better my own struggles with disordered eating. Being able to verbalize these feelings can make such a difference. Let’s push ourselves to have these tougher conversations more often.
