Olympics, Canada, & Hall of Fame With Lauren Sesselmann

Welcome back! This week, Stephanie sits down with her long time friend who happens to be an Olympic Medalist. Get ready to talk soccer, Olympics, World Cup and life lessons with former Professional Soccer Player and TV/Podcast host, Lauren Sesselmann! 

Lauren started her soccer career at the age of 12, but her first love was basketball. She played both soccer and basketball throughout her life and attended Purdue University for both sports. She set 6 records there and was named First Team All-Big Ten. And by the way - Lauren was recently inducted into the Purdue Hall of Fame.

Lauren shares with Steph intimate moments when she was ready to give up, the negative comments she heard from coaches, and all the lessons she learned throughout her career. But the good news is that her hard work eventually paid off. Lauren went on to represent Canada in the Pan American Games, 2012 Olympics and FIFA World Cup. 

She is a huge mental health advocate and has many upcoming projects. From the big screen to a new line, she is ready for her next chapter. 

Listen to find out what Lauren has coming up as we get closer to the 2023 FIFA World Cup!
