In this episode, I talk about the "Crazy vs. Quitter" trap, the double standard where you’re called "crazy" for taking risks but a "quitter" if you prioritize your safety. It is a bit of a “doomed if you do, doomed if you don’t” situation.

I dissected the stories of Lindsey Vonn, Simone Biles, and my own Olympic experience to look at how you can navigate these kinds of situations when you need to make a tough choice or simply deal with people’s opinions. 

Tune in to get three practical tools that will help you find your own truth in the middle of the noise, and build an unshakeable foundation for making high-stakes decisions with zero regret.
