Bring It in!! I’m Coach Mikki,  football coach, Transformational leader, and mindset mentor.  For over 17 years, I’ve coached in a male-dominated sport, proving that toughness, leadership, and passion have no gender. I created Hail Mary in Heels for every woman who’s ever been told she doesn’t belong on the field, in the boardroom, or in the game. This podcast is where strength meets style, faith meets fight, and ambition meets authenticity. Each week, we dive into real conversations about leadership, mindset, courage, and breaking barriers,  on and off the field. Whether you’re chasing dreams, rebuilding after a setback, or calling your own play in life, this is your huddle for inspiration, strategy, and unapologetic toughness. Because sometimes, life calls for a bold move,  a Hail Mary,  and we do it in heels. Start Strong - Finish Strong - Dominate Everything In Between!! - Coach Mikki

    You Deserve More Than A Life You Don’t Mind - S2E4

    Ever catch yourself saying “I’m fine” while a quiet voice inside knows you want more? Coach Mikki takes the field to challenge the comfort trap and show how small, courageous choices can shift you from a life you don’t mind to a life you truly love. We start by naming the subtle signs of settling, polite gratitude masking dissatisfaction, and explore why “not bad” often silences urgency. From there, we get practical about building momentum with one brave step at a time, the kind that proves to yourself you’re serious about change. If you’re overwhelmed by where to start, we map out simple, sustainable moves: a walk without your phone, a single weekly hour for your craft, one honest no that makes room for a meaningful yes. Expect real talk about pain vs. pleasure, identity, and why time is nonrefundable. Stick around for a transparent close, a team-minded pep talk, and a rallying cry to “love my life.” Subscribe, share with someone who needs the nudge, and drop a review telling us the first small step you’re taking today.

    Stop Waiting, Start Choosing - S2E3

    Ever notice how waiting to feel ready quietly becomes a habit? We kick off with a quick huddle, a gratitude shoutout to our community, and a road trip that turned into a moving workshop on decisions, detours, and the simple courage to act. The spark is a timeless line from Cicero: “More is lost by indecision than wrong decision.” From there, we dig into why hesitation feels safe, how it steals time and confidence, and what it really means to confuse caution with wisdom. I share the practical framework I use with clients: start with one small move. Micro choices create momentum, and momentum builds belief. We talk about the emotional traps,fear of being wrong, craving certainty, overanalyzing options, and replace them with action steps that fit real life. You’ll hear how to set a short learning loop, decide on your minimum viable next step, and shift the question from “What if I fail?” to “What will I learn?” This is the mindset that turns stuck energy into forward motion. If this resonated, share it with someone who’s been stuck at the line of scrimmage, subscribe for more coaching you can use right away, and leave a quick review to help others find the show.

    Self-Belief Is Not an Option, It’s a Priority! - S2E2

    Ready to step off the sidelines and into your own game? Coach Mikki  takes you into the huddle for a raw, field-tested look at self-belief, how it erodes, how to rebuild it, and how to keep it strong when every eye seems to be waiting for you to fail.  No empty hype, just real stories from seventeen years on football fields where acceptance wasn’t given and confidence had to be earned in public. If you’ve ever asked who am I to do this, this conversation hands you a new script: I’ve got this, do the next right thing. Walk away with a clear plan to start today, protect your momentum, and write your own playbook, on the field, at work, or at home.

If you’re done waiting for permission, press play and join the team that chooses progress over perfection, resilience over excuses, and action over almost.

    Opinions Are Not Your Reaility- S1E6

    Bring it in: this is a huddle about power—specifically, the power you’ve been handing to other people’s opinions without noticing. We go straight at the sneaky ways outside voices turn into inner limits, how “reasonable” comments can derail big goals, and what it takes to build a filter that protects your belief while staying open to real growth. If you’ve ever shrunk your dream because someone else couldn’t see it, this conversation puts the ball back in your hands. Ready to make your belief louder than their doubt?

    The Grill, the Grit, and the Great Pivot - Katrina van Oudheusden- S1E3

    A packed dinner table planted the seed; a roaring Disney kitchen forged the steel. Chef Katrina joins us to share how a love for bringing people together became a career built under pressure, precision, and relentless standards—and why claiming the grill on New Year’s Eve changed everything. From feeding thousands a day to mastering stations and earning respect, her story shows how self-advocacy, preparation, and calm under fire open doors that gatekeepers try to close. The journey didn’t stop at the pass. When business books started outnumbering cookbooks, she drew a 90-day line in the sand and pivoted into the digital world, carrying Disney’s guest-first mindset into community management and client experience. Within months she rose to lead programs, curriculum, and support, proving that operational excellence and care translate across industries. Along the way, she learned an underrated truth: entrepreneurship can feel isolating unless you build your huddle with intention. That insight powers Create Her, Katrina’s planner and platform that helps women design their businesses and lives around natural energy cycles, financial clarity, and practical marketing. We talk about moving from competition to collaboration, setting goals that include rest, and leading with relationships instead of transactions. Expect candid lessons on advocating for the hard role, rebuilding community after a leap, and using structure to make courage repeatable. If this conversation fires you up to ask for the grill, make the pivot, or simply plan with more kindness to your body, you’re in the right place.
