Such a great resource!

This podcast is a wonderful resource for any parent trying to navigate the complexities of youth sports. It provides valuable insight, guidance and words of wisdom through conversations with a wide range of guests, such as coaches, professional athletes, student athletes, and mental health specialists, just to name a few. As a mom to five young athletes, I listen to this podcast regularly and am so thankful for Kirsten and Susie all their great work!

Happy go Pinterest ,

Brilliance!!

I love this podcast because it spreads such a critical message that every parent should hear, even if their children are not athletes!

I’m a mother of two young competitive athletes, one boy, one girl, and a master certified life coach so I’m very aware of how powerful our words are. Her message in this podcast is spot on for empowering our children.

I couldn’t love the authentic conversations or guests more!

This podcast is a light in my life and I’ll be a forever fan!!
