You Got This with Nina Sossamon Pogue

Behind the Armor

In this inspiring episode of Behind the Armor, host Judd Shaw sits down with the multi-talented Nina Sossamon Pogue. As a former U.S. gymnast, Emmy-winning journalist, and now a sought-after speaker, Nina shares her personal journey through failure, resilience, and ultimately, reinvention. From her Olympic dreams to a career-ending injury and beyond, Nina's story is a testament to the power of persistence and inner strength. Tune in to hear her unique perspective on how to manage life's toughest moments and still find success.

Lessons From the Episode:

1. Embrace Setbacks: Understand that failures are part of the journey and can often lead to even greater opportunities.

2. Redefine Success: What feels like the end may just be a pivot toward a new, more fulfilling direction.

3. Build Resilience: Finding small tricks or mental exercises, like Nina's finger counting method, can help you stay grounded during moments of fear and anxiety.

4. Surround Yourself With the Right People: Carefully curate your "circle"—those who support and uplift you during difficult times.

5. Own Your Story: Reframe your narrative by changing the language you use in your thoughts and conversations to create a more empowering outlook.
