This week’s Constantly Curious is short and sweet - just 6 minutes - but it packs a punch.

Lately, coaches and teachers (myself included!) are noticing a trend: athletes want the A-team jersey… but not always the A-team grind.

So what’s really happening? Are kids under more pressure than ever with school, sports, and social media? Or have we created a culture where anything uncomfortable feels “too much”?

I share my own story of tearing my ACL in college, how I rebuilt through hard work, and why that lesson still matters today.

🎧 Tune in!

Welcome to Season 2 of Constantly Curious - a newly elevated version of the podcast where we get real about mindset, pressure, parenting, and performance.

This isn’t just a comeback. It’s a shift.

The show has evolved - just like I have. And now I’m bringing you short, powerful solo episodes full of practical tools, honest stories, and the truth about what it takes to grow, lead, and perform in today’s high-pressure world.

In this season opener, I’m pulling back the curtain and sharing:

• Why I stepped away — and what changed in the meantime

• My pivot from a fast-paced marketing career to full-time mental performance coaching

• Why teen athletes need mindset support now more than ever

• What you can expect this season (spoiler: short episodes, real tools, and zero fluff)

If you’re a parent, coach, competitor, or someone who believes mindset is everything - this new chapter is for you.

Let’s get into it.
