This episode begins with Cassie sharing her journey of starting new sports later in life, managing mental health on the road, and tips for anyone pursuing their dreams and then dives deep into a conversation on the reality of sport funding and what Canadian athletes go through to represent Team Canada at the highest levels - a conversation that was sparked by the recent strike and protests by the Canadian Women’s Soccer team. We share our thoughts on what is broken within the Canadian sport systems and NSOs, our past experiences, as well as a discussion on how that lead to Cassie walking away from the sport and how she managed that transition into what she does now and more importantly, who she is now.

Goal don't have to be permanent, and pivoting to something new isn't a failure (nor is the time you spent pursuing your original goal). In this solo episode, Natalie shares some perspective on when goals can start to weigh you down, what to do when you are feeling burnt out in the pursuit of your goal, and how to know whether it's time to push through, or move on from that goal. This is a great episode to listen to during this end of year reflection time, during your athletic off season / holiday break from sports, or during a transitional period, and includes tips such as journal prompts and more to help you build self awareness and reflect on your highs and lows.
