    Let’s Catch Up! Welcome back to You’re Already Everything.

    Hey friends, it’s been a minute! I would like to welcome you back to this podcast. It’s been quite the transition to a student-athlete college transition! I needed some time for myself to reflect on my purpose towards this podcast, as well as ensuring I can bring this podcast back in a safer way. In this episode, I really just share about my life. Per request, I take you a little through a typical week in my life and talk about my classes and swimming, living in North Carolina, etc. I also detail some difficult events and periods of time I have been battling through, and how that contributes to seeking to bring this podcast back. As I seek to let go of some of my perfectionistic ways, this episode will not include a transcript and is genuinely being posted right after I have finished recording. Thank you for taking the time to listen to my thoughts and role with me as I go on my tangents ;) A reminder that you are already everything. Tough times and thoughts do not define you, and it is okay to experience times of unhappiness, uncertainty, hopelessness and other negative emotions. I encourage you to take a step and ask for help when these feelings become overwhelming and for extended periods of time. Please enjoy a little hour of my life’s updates, and hopefully a few laughs in there despite some serious topics!!! And as always, I love hearing from you :) Welcome back! I am so happy you are here.

    Everybody In!! On the Road to Becoming a More Inclusive Human.

    Today I steer a different way from my regular sport-related and mindset approached podcast to talk about a few topics that are extremely important to me. This episode is one I have looked forward to recording since I started this podcast! In this episode, I talk with my long time friend Kendall Hagar about disability and ableism, disability justice, inclusion, and how to shift your thought to be a more inclusive and open hearted being. Kendall shares about the organization she works for, The Wayfaring Band, and we both touch on our greatest takeaways from our trips with the Band. The goal of this episode is to influence you to begin to see the world in a different light with a new perspective. We are all just human beings seeking to be loved and accepted as we are! Working with Special Olympics and among the disability community has been one of the greatest gifts and blessings in my life, as well as a fuel to the fire knowing how far we as a country and a world have to go to be truly accepting. I hope this episode serves as a good place to start in your personal learning and further sparks reflection of your own internal thoughts and biases. If you have any questions, comments, concerns, always feel free to reach out to me, I love hearing from you.
