E34 - What Strong Women Don't Talk About (Part 2)

E36 - Speed Isn’t Talent—It’s Strategy w/ Tyke Owens

Hey everyone! In this episode, I sit down with my friend Tyke Owens—a former D1 high jumper turned pro sprinter—to talk about what it really takes to elevate your athletic performance. Tyke shares his journey from struggling to break 11 seconds in high school to now running sub-10, and the truth might surprise you—speed isn’t just about talent. It’s about training with intention, prioritizing rest, and building mental resilience. We talk through the highs and lows, including knee injuries, mental setbacks, and the grind of chasing Olympic-level goals—all while staying grounded in faith and growth. You’ll walk away with practical tips on how to train smarter (not just harder), optimize your lifting for explosive power, and avoid common mistakes even elite athletes make. Tyke also dives into the mindset and spiritual habits that keep him focused when every millisecond counts. Whether you’re a high school athlete, competing at the next level, or just someone who wants to improve and stay disciplined—this episode is full of real, faith-driven insight to help you grow. If you’re ready to push your limits, trust your process, and step into your full potential—this one’s for you. See you next time!

E34 - What Strong Women Don't Talk About (Part 2)

We are BACK with part 2 with Jenna Doggett, MS, LAT, ATC. Strong women have high standards—but we also have questions, doubts, and growing pains we don’t always talk about. In part two, we dive into dating, marriage, and the expectations we bring into relationships. We talk about why friendship matters, how communication really works (and sometimes doesn’t), and what it looks like to grow alongside someone while chasing your own dreams. Honest stories, real advice, and a reminder that strength doesn’t mean doing it all alone. See you next time! Much love xx -- I really appreciate the time you took to join me for the episode today.

E33 - What No One Trains You For: Anxiety & Identity Behind the Athlete (Part 1)

What's up, All You family? In this episode, I’m sitting down with my friend Jenna Doggett, MS, LAT, ATC. We talk through her athletic journey—from growing up immersed in sports to working as an athletic trainer—and how those experiences have shaped who she is today. We get real about anxiety, especially how it shows up in high-achieving athletes and strong, independent women. Jenna opens up about her own experience as an athlete, navigating anxiety, marriage, and what it looks like to balance independence while still letting someone truly be your partner (more in part 2!). This conversation dives into communication, self-awareness, and the push-pull of being a strong woman on your own while learning how to lean on someone else. It’s honest, reflective, and one that a lot of athletes—and women in general—will see themselves in. Stay tuned for part 2!
