As a former D1 athlete and now professional athlete, I know first-hand just how fulfilling and positive competitive sports can be. Personally, for most of my life, the court was where I felt happiest and most in my element.

But I also know the toll this life can take on your self-worth, your identity and ego, and your overall mental and emotional well-being. The current climate tells athletes that their emotions, when displayed to the outside world, are a liability, when in reality, the key to becoming an even more formidable competitor is opening up and embracing those emotions.

SUCK IT UP is a groundbreaking podcast dedicated to unraveling the stigma surrounding mental health in the realm of elite athletics. Through candid conversations with athletes who bravely share their personal journeys along with introspective solo episodes, this platform will encourage authenticity and vulnerability. Join me on this eye-opening adventure as we smash the silence, spark change, and show that mental strength is as epic as physical strength, redefining the game for athletes (and non-athletes!) everywhere.
