Special Episode: Flavor Flav’s SHE Weekend

Special Episode: Flavor Flav’s SHE Weekend

This week AJ McCord and The PowHERful Podcast hit the road for Flavor Flav’s SHE Weekend in Las Vegas. What started as a tweet offering to throw a part for the Olympic gold medal winning Team USA Women’s Hockey team turned into a weekend where the best Olympians and Paralympians from the Milan-Cortina Games took over the Las Vegas Strip. There were parties, panels, and PowHERful conversations about how to elevate women’s sport and ensure all sports and athletes are included in that. In this mega-episode AJ catches up with hockey star Laila Edwards, moguls medalist Jaelin Kauf, para-snowboard superstar Brenna Huckaby, ice skating phenom Amber Glenn, cross-country superwoman Jessie Diggins, and first-time Olympian halfpipe snowboarder Bea Kim. They talk Olympics, sidequest maxxing, the emotions of the Games and the weekends in a heartfelt and hilarious episode you don’t want to miss.    See omnystudio.com/listener [https://omnystudio.com/listener] for privacy information.

Kelsey Pfendler (Ocean Row)

“Being brave is not an absence of fear, you need fear to be brave.” Kelsey Pfendler is trying to do what no woman her age has done before - row from Monterey, California to Oahu, Hawaii by herself, completely unsupported, rowing a boat utilizing only her own power to get across the 2,400 mile stretch of Pacific Ocean. It sounds crazy, but for Kelsey, who’s been a professional whitewater rafting guide in the Grand Canyon for eight years, on the water in the middle of nowhere is where she feels most at home. She shares her goals, her fears, and her why. It’s an episode that we hope inspires you to dream of your own mid-Pacific row, showing up scared, and doing it anyway.  You can track Kelsey’s progress here [https://yourowkelsey.com/].You can follow her journey here [https://www.instagram.com/yourowkelsey/].  Make sure you follow, subscribe and share The PowHERful Podcast everywhere you get your podcasts and on IG [https://www.instagram.com/thepowherful/], TT, [https://www.tiktok.com/@thepowherfulstories] and YT.

(BEST OF) Brenna Huckaby (USA Para Snowboarding)

CURIOSITY | Para-snowboarder Brenna Huckaby describes her journey from Louisiana to professional snowboarding as a bit of a “Jamaican Bobsled” story. After losing her leg to cancer, she was introduced to the mountains through a hospital program designed to help recent amputees rebuild confidence — the idea being that if they could conquer a physical mountain, the metaphorical ones ahead might feel a little less daunting.   For Brenna, it was love at first sight. Racing down the mountain reignited a spark cancer had tried to extinguish.    From learning to live with a prosthetic leg, to becoming a mother at 19, to chasing Paralympic history, Brenna has carried a contagious curiosity — about how to show up fully for herself, her family, and those who look up to her, all with authenticity and heart.    This conversation is for anyone who has ever felt like their hardest day might break them and wondered where strength and hope could possibly come from. Brenna shares the hard-earned roadmap she’s traveled — one that guides us toward a more courageous, curious, and joyful existence.   For more on the Winter Paralympics in Milan-Cortina, follow @ThePowHERful on Instagram!   See omnystudio.com/listener [https://omnystudio.com/listener] for privacy information.
