Power Through the 4th Whistle Roller Derby Podcast

RUNBACK EPISODE! I’m releasing a fan favorite from past every two weeks in case you didn’t hear it the first time or might be feeling like you need re-listen or want to share it with a friend. It's a new year, we have goals. How do we get and stay motivated on our journey?

Another listener suggested topic this week! How can we avoid having 2-3 people doing everything and getting burned out? How do you bridge the divide between the people who want to change EVERYTHING and the people who want to change NOTHING? How can we better get our ideas across to others? Today's episode is about better communication, picking your battles, and selling your vision. Photographer: Robin Dodd @robin_dodd Sponsors: Get MOTA-vated with Mota Skates!

Feeling introspective is a natural part of the holiday season. This week, I share a list of lessons learned from nature, animals, and travel that have made me look at life differently and help me on my journey to becoming a better athlete, teammate, leader, and especially...human being. I want to share these with you during this time where we all need a mental and emotional reset before facing the coming year. This episode is all feels and was a suggestion from Coach Dan.

In this episode, I asked for the help of two of my teammates -- Lizzy Luscious and Siren Song to ask about their experience going through pregnancy, returning to training for roller derby, and finding balance in their new lives as parents. What was it like telling the team? Did they step away from derby or stay close by? How quickly did they return to skating? Roller derby isn't every part of our lives, but it DOES make our lives better. You can carve out time for you and time for family. If you set boundaries, you really CAN have it all.
