    Walk in Winning With Traci Mitchell: How To Negotiate With Yourself

    What would change if you walked into every room believing you belonged there? Traci Mitchell spent years as a television journalist covering Washington for Hearst Television stations across the country. In fact, she did live shots with me during our morning news 20 years ago. She once did 68 live shots in a single day, appeared on House of Cards and landed an interview with Oprah Winfrey that changed how she looked at herself. Traci left TV news for personal reasons and found herself in need of a major reinvention. That reinvention let to some serious negotiation...with herself. Today, she is a speaker, coach, storytelling expert, author and negotiation strategist. Her message is simple: The most important negotiation you will ever have is the one you have with yourself. Traci says women are often taught to be prepared for rejection, but not always prepared for success. That can make it difficult to ask for the promotion, negotiate the salary or accept a compliment without minimizing our accomplishments. Her advice? Prepare for “yes.” On this Dying to Ask: Why Traci left television after a terrifying experience involving her young daughter How she went from the anchor desk to acting on House of Cards The three-part framework for “walking in winning”: preparation, mindset and process Why you should prepare for the possibility that someone says, “You’re fantastic” How to negotiate your salary and ask for what you are worth Why naming your inner critic, Traci calls hers “Stephanie,” can help quiet its voice The importance of stepping back, seeing the bigger picture and deciding what you want next How to walk into any room ready, grounded and confident that you belong

    Visualize Your Life Like An Olympian With Chris Lillis

    Saying Chris Lillis is a details guy is like saying he kind of wants to win another Olympic gold medal. Lillis won gold in mixed team aerials at the 2022 Beijing Winter Games. Making a second Olympic team in his discipline of freestyle skiing is arguably more mental than physical. Tracking the details of how he eats, sleeps, trains and recovers is crucial to unlocking what does and doesn't work for him as an athlete. The data helps shape his mindset training. The key to mental preparation is visualization. Chris says, "Visualization can just be like a kind of mental imagination, whether it's in the first person or the third person. You really just imagine yourself doing that jump." Aerialists are like acrobats on skis. They ski down a ramp, launch themselves in the air and complete a series of flips and twists while maintaining enough spatial awareness to land on on snow. Jumps last seconds. But Chris says the time in the air feels a lot longer than that because of how in tune he is with every small move his body makes. Just making the 2026 Olympic Team isn't enough. "It's different when you've won before because the only question anyone has for you is, are you going to win again? My answer is always the same. It's yes," says Chris. On this Dying to Ask: What it's like to live your life with that much attention to detail The move Chris had to make to follow his Olympic dream and how he spends his summers Going from newbie to veteran. The importance of mentoring the next generation of Olympians And how to master the art of visualization like an Olympic athlete

    Redefining Longevity With The Women Of Team USA And Women's Health

    From grit to glam. The women of Team USA are flipping the script on what longevity looks like the winter edition of Women's Health. Amanda Lucci is the director of special projects for Women's Health. Editors created a mirrored set to evoke icy, wintry vibes and Amanda says the athletes turned models understood the assignment. "They just turned it on the second they got on set and it was so much fun," says Amanda. The Olympics issue celebrates longevity. "We really wanted to explore what it takes to be an athlete for actual decades, while also living a lot of life outside of that," says Amanda. Snowboarder Jamie Anderson is an Olympic gold medalist. She took three years off since the 2022 Winter Games to have two kids. Her Olympic push for Milan Cortina involved a lot of multi-tasking. Amanda says, "She's still talking about how she's still getting into her flow of how she's training and also being a mom but at the same time, she's so much stronger." Cover model Chloe Kim left the last Olympics with more than a gold medal in the halfpipe. She describes extreme burnout and what she's done to work through it and fall in love with snowboarding again. Peak performance means new things. It's not just medals. It's mental health, motherhood, rest, and redefining success. On this Dying to to Ask: Proof it's never too late to pivot careers, even as an athlete How female athletes are fitting in or making backup plans for kids Redefining what's a win. Advice on giving yourself some grace to work on your grit Behind the scenes of the Olympic shoot. How Women's Health made Team USA's top female athletes feel like super models

    Growing Up In The Shadow Of The Olympics With Casey Dawson

    It's one thing to grow up with Olympic spirit. It's another to grew up in it like long track speedskater Casey Dawson did. Casey grew up in Salt Lake City. His hometown hosted its first Winter Games in 2002 and in some ways, the Olympics never left. "I grew up here, so I was surrounded by it. So ever since I was born, pretty much," says Casey. Casey was 2 years old during the 2002 Games. He and kids he grew up with benefitted from the Olympic venues. Most, like the Utah Olympic Oval, are still in existence today and serve as both elite training grounds and community recreation centers. Kids get into Olympic sports like speedskating through after school programs. Casey took an "intro to speed skating" class at the age of 10 and got hooked. Casey says, "I got coached by Olympians when I was 10 years old. I think that's what kept me in sports. I could go speedskating and go to ski in the mountains." Casey went from that intro program to the national team in just seven years. He made his Olympic debut in 2022 and won bronze in team pursuit at the 2022 Beijing Games. Milan-Cortina will be his second shot at Olympic gold. On this Dying to Ask: What Utah does to get kids into Olympic sports at a very early age Why the Utah Olympic Oval is known as the fastest ice on earth. And we'll start with a funny, yet kind of gross story about a badge of honor for U.S. long track speed skaters. Find out what it takes to make Coach Ryan Shimabukuro's Instagram page!

    Fear, Flips, and Full-Full-Fulls with Kaila Kuhn

    Living life in threes is paying off for freestyle skier Kaila Kuhn. "All of the men in the world are competing triples. Whereas a maximum [of] eight to 10 women on the Olympic year are actually competing [in] triples," Kuhn said. "Triples" refers to the complexity of an aerial skier's jump. It's an elite-level move, and Kuhn successfully performed a full-full-full to win a recent World Cup event. The full-full-full involves three flips with 360-degree twists. Kuhn admits that "it's dangerous. It's scary. And there's a reason why not many of us do it." Triples are a standard maneuver for male aerial skiers. But Kuhn predicts only eight to 10 women at the Olympics will attempt one. She sees triples as key to winning gold at the 2026 Milan Cortina Olympics. Kuhn was the youngest American to win an individual world title in aerials at the age of 21. She finished eighth in her Olympic debut at the 2022 Games. She transitioned from doubles to triples following her first Olympics. Perfecting triples puts her in line for gold in Milan at the age of 22. On this Dying to Ask: Harnessing fear. The role fear plays in preventing injuries and creating an edge How Kuhn mastered triples. How she perfected a complex move in water before trying it on snow The two stars of American aerial skiing are a real-life couple. How they've supported each other in this Olympic journey And read anything good lately? It's Olympic book club time.

    Fear, Flight & Fast-Tracking the Olympics With Quinn Dehlinger

    Time is currency. And freestyle Olympic skier Quinn Dehlinger cashed in on an opportunity he earned last June. That's when Quinn got a call from his coach that he'd made the 2026 U.S. Winter Olympic Team. Quinn narrowly missed out on qualifying for the 2022 Olympics. Qualifying eight months before the Olympics in Italy was a game changer. "Going into the competitions this year, if I got sick or had a minor injury it lifted a little of the weight off the shoulders," says Quinn. Aerial skiing is a freestyle discipline. Athletes are often compared to acrobats on skis. The team trains year-round at its home base in Park City at the Utah Olympic Park where skiers spend all summer perfecting tricks in a pool. But Quinn grew up in Cincinnati which has become a pipeline for aerial skiers. Four skiers on the Olympic team have ties to the Cincinnati area and they credit the smaller hill for high reps they did on rails and jumps. On this Dying to Ask: The greatest advantage of making the Olympic team so early. How did Cincinnati become a pipeline for Olympic aerial skiers? Why fear is a good thing when you you're an acrobat on skis And what it's like to pursue an Olympic dream when your girlfriend is also an Olympian
