    Replay: Changing Careers with Physician and Oiselle’s Leader of Corporate Development Sarah Lesko

    Hi friend! It’s Giselle. I’m jumping on here real quick to remind you that I’m taking a break after over three plus years of weekly episodes to rest, reset, and recalibrate. In case you need a little woman in sports career journey wisdom while I’m away, I’ve pulled this episode from the archives. This conversation with Dr. Sarah Lesko aired in April 2022 and it is one of the most downloaded episodes of all time. So you’re going to love it. I know I did. Since the last episode. Dr. Lesko was named Executive Director of the non-profit Bras for Girls, which is an amazing organization, check it out, and she was also named a Director of the USA Track and Field Foundation Board. Enjoy! Episode 88: On today’s episode, I’m talking to Oiselle’s Leader of Corporate Development and Family Medicine Physician, Dr. Sarah Lesko, about honoring your values while changing careers. Sarah is trained and practiced as a family medicine physician before making the leap to a career outside of medicine. Before leaving medicine, Sarah got back into running after watching the ‘08 Olympic trials. Two years later she met the founder and CEO of Oiselle, a running apparel company, by and for female athletes. Eventually leaving medicine, Sarah’s work with Oiselle expanded and she found a better way for her to serve. Through her work with Oiselle, Sarah is able to utilize her training in medicine and public health to support women and girls in sport at every level of competition. We talk about: ●The twists and turns of her career in sports, medicine, and public health before she found a job where she could bring it all together.  ●The multiple identities she created throughout her career and the resilience they’ve provided. ●How defining your values and vision for your career can help you find the right fit.  You can find the show notes and more resources at https://madamathlete.com Keep an eye out for new content or let us know what you'd like to see next by following us on social: Instagram: @theMadamAthlete Facebook: @MadamAthlete Twitter: @MadamAthlete

    Replay: Creating Your Own Space with Temple’s Senior Associate Athletic Director for Mental Health, Wellness, and Performance Stephany Coakley

    Hi friend! It’s Giselle. I’m jumping on here real quick to remind you that I’m taking a break after over three plus years of weekly episodes to rest, reset, and recalibrate. In case you need a little woman in sports career journey wisdom while I’m away, I’ve pulled this episode from the archives. This conversation with Dr. Stephany Coakley aired in August 2022 and it is one of the most downloaded episodes of all time. So you’re going to love it. I know I did. Dr. Coakley is still working at Temple University as the Senior Associate Athletic Director for Mental Health, Wellness, and Performance. Since the last time we talked she earned the designation of Fellow with the Association of Applied Sport Psychology and she was the keynote speaker for the Social Justice through Sport and Exercise Psychology Symposium where she gave a talk on “Good Trouble, Necessary Trouble: How Sport and Exercise Psychology Practitioners Can Support Athlete Activism.” Enjoy!

Stephany works with student-athletes to develop mental health skills as the Senior Associate Athletic Director for Mental Health, Wellness and Performance at Temple University. She also works with professional athletes in the NFL, NBA, and beyond through her private practice. On the way to where she is today, Stephany developed her craft by creating her own space, like starting her private practice during grad school so she could start getting experience working with athletes. She also worked with warrior-athletes in the military to help them develop resilience. By creating her own space, she was able to gain experience, grow, and learn, and ultimately serve her higher mission to help people realize their best lives through sport. We talk about: ●How Stephany came to recognize the burnout she was feeling in the early part of her career and the decision to go back to school to get her PhD. ●How hard it is to break into sports and how she started her private practice to create her own space and build experience in her own way. ●Stephany’s personal mental health practices and the tools she encourages others to have at the ready in times of stress.  You can find the show notes and more resources at https://madamathlete.com Keep an eye out for new content or let us know what you'd like to see next by following us on social: Instagram: @theMadamAthlete Facebook: @MadamAthlete Twitter: @MadamAthlete

She has traveled internationally doing development work and has seen the value of sport for social change. Because of a persistent interest in corporate social responsibility, Christa decided to go to business school.
