I Turn 55 This Week | Solo Episode | Ep. 164

This week, I'm turning 55. And recently, I was in the back of a car listening to my siblings talk about their lives moving forward. I had nothing to add. The next day, in the middle of a coaching retreat, I ended up on the receiving end of the exact thing I coach my own clients on. This episode is that — no guest, just me. What it means to feel "behind." Where that feeling actually lives in the body. A live 2-minute meditation you can do with me. My 5 takeaways. A reflection across five decades. And the 55 Letters project I'm starting today — one letter a day, ending in Portugal at my niece's wedding. ——— 💫 Read the Full Reflection:  https://liveyourjune.substack.com/ ——— 💫 Join the Soulstigator Movement! ➡️ Take the Motherhood Survey: https://forms.gle/ozuRfLMwYubq9PdPA ➡️ Free Clarity Call: DM Me “CLARITY” on IG @wendyposillico ➡️ Visit our website: liveyourjune.com

Your Story Matters More Than Your Stats | with Adam DeVon Miller | Ep. 163

This week on Journey to June I'm talking to Adam DeVon Miller, founder and CEO of Good Game Foundation, a nonprofit that connects athletes to purpose beyond the game they play. Adam played wide receiver at Wabash College and was the first in his family to go to college — football was the thing that opened that door for him. But this conversation isn't really about football. It's about what happened after. A service trip to post-Katrina New Orleans cracked open a much bigger question for Adam: what does the game actually mean once the scoreboard disappears? We talk about the two-a-days that taught him he could push further than he thought, the Kevin Love essay that cracked something open in him years later, and why he believes every athlete is carrying a story worth more than any box score. This one is about building an identity the game can't take from you — and what it costs when you wait too long to start. ——— 💫 Read the Full Reflection:  https://liveyourjune.substack.com/p/the-game-ends-quietly-thats-the-part ——— 💫 Connect with Adam: Visit his Website: https://www.goodgamefoundation.org/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/adamdevonmiller/ Instagram: @adamdevonmiller ——— 💫 Join the Soulstigator Movement! ➡️ Take the Motherhood Survey: https://forms.gle/ozuRfLMwYubq9PdPA ➡️ Free Clarity Call: DM Me “CLARITY” on IG @wendyposillico ➡️ Visit our website: liveyourjune.com

Running Meets You Where You Are | with Roberto Mandje | Ep. 162

This week I sit down with Olympian, coach, and father of three Roberto Mandje, and what struck me most wasn't the résumé — it was how he talks about being stronger than he ever gave himself credit for.  Roberto grew up between Barcelona, West Africa, and the U.S., raised by a single mother who never once told him what he couldn't do, and he carried that into a twelve-year running career that peaked at the 2004 Athens Olympics, lining up in the 1500m next to the very runner whose poster hung on his bedroom wall.  In this episode, we talk about what it actually feels like to stand at that start line, what running alone in the woods still teaches him that a desk never will, and how becoming a father — and, more recently, walking away from the organization he'd spent a decade helping build — forced him to ask what he's actually building his life toward now.  This one is about identity that doesn't collapse when the structure around it changes, and about what it means to leave every place, and every person, a little better than you found it. ——— 💫 Read the Full Reflection:  https://liveyourjune.substack.com/p/when-the-structure-disappears-the ——— 💫 Connect with Roberto: Visit his Website: mandjecoaching.com Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/robertomandje/ Instagram: @robertomandje ——— 💫 Join the Soulstigator Movement! ➡️ Take the Motherhood Survey: https://forms.gle/ozuRfLMwYubq9PdPA ➡️ Free Clarity Call: DM Me “CLARITY” on IG @wendyposillico ➡️ Visit our website: liveyourjune.com

You Don't Lose Your Drive, You Lose Your Structure | with Abiola Wabara | Ep. 161

This week I sat down with Abiola Wabara — a former pro basketball player, national champion, and now the founder of Globall Life, a platform built to help athletes navigate life after sport.  In this episode, we get into her childhood in Italy as the daughter of Nigerian parents, the culture shock of trading Rome for Waco, Texas, and the ten-year pro career that followed.  But the real conversation starts after the ball stops bouncing — when Abiola describes googling her own master's degree because she had no idea what to do with it, driving Uber with her resume in the passenger seat, and the panic attacks she didn't even recognize as panic attacks.  This is a conversation about what happens when the structure that built you disappears, and what it actually takes to build a new one. Abiola's answer might surprise you: it starts with letting go of your ego. ——— 💫 Read the Full Reflection:  https://liveyourjune.substack.com/p/what-we-do-with-not-knowing ——— 💫 Connect with Abiola: Visit her Website: www.globalllife.com OR www.artbyabiola.com Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/abiolawabara/ Instagram: @Globall_Life ——— 💫 Join the Soulstigator Movement! ➡️ Take the Motherhood Survey: https://forms.gle/ozuRfLMwYubq9PdPA ➡️ Free Clarity Call: DM Me “CLARITY” on IG @wendyposillico ➡️ Visit our website: liveyourjune.com

Beyond the Scoreboard: Rebuilding Identity After Sport | with Jill Muhe | Ep. 160

This week on Journey to June, I sat down with Jill Muhe — a former Division I and professional beach volleyball player who spent a decade grinding on the AVP tour before becoming an athletic trainer, a college head coach, and now a career consultant for athletes navigating life after sport.  Jill and I talk about growing up playing basketball with the boys, the identity crash that comes with retiring (more than once), and a reframe that stopped me in my tracks: athletes don't lose their drive when sport ends, they lose the ecosystem that was quietly supporting it the whole time.  We get into what actually happens to a high performer who's grinding without a coach, a team, or anyone celebrating the small wins, and why the real question isn't "why did you play" but "why did you stay." If you've ever felt like your motivation disappeared overnight, this conversation will help you understand what really happened — and how to rebuild. ——— 💫 Read the Full Reflection: https://liveyourjune.substack.com/p/why-did-you-stay  ——— 💫 Connect with Jill: Visit her Website: https://www.jillmuhe.com Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jillmuhe/ Instagram: @jillmuhe Substack: https://jillmuhe.substack.com/ ——— 💫 Join the Soulstigator Movement! ➡️ Take the Motherhood Survey: https://forms.gle/ozuRfLMwYubq9PdPA ➡️ Free Clarity Call: DM Me “CLARITY” on IG @wendyposillico ➡️ Visit our website: liveyourjune.com
