🎙️ From Olympic Dreams to Burnout — and Finding Balance in My 30s
Between 2012 and 2016, I was chasing Olympic dreams as a junior athlete.
But my 20s brought a different reality: illness, burnout, financial pressure, and a lack of support that nearly made me walk away from it all.
They say, “If you work hard, you’ll make it.”
But sometimes, it’s just not that simple.
On this episode of the podcast, I open up about being an Olympic hopeful in 2012, losing momentum as I transitioned into a senior athlete, and how — slowly but surely — I found my way back into the sport at a national level.
After 25, I began re-entering the sport with my coach . I finished my master’s after illness, and after nine job rejections, I finally found a career I love in the clothing industry.
🎧 If you’re short on time, skip to 70 minutes — where I talk about the life as a full-time athlete and full-time worker at Reflo®, and how those two worlds have married together.
