In this week’s special guest episode, Tara and Pamela are joined by the amazing Kelsey Wiechman! Kelsey is a certified life coach, and former athlete, who now helps other former athletes redefine their identity and build fulfilling lives post-sports. Kelsey also is a co-author of the book, Soul of an Athlete. She currently lives in the Twin Cities with her husband and two daughters, balancing family, activities, and her new venture into entrepreneurship.
Kelsey joins us today to share her journey from athlete to coach, and to shed light on the challenges and identity struggles athletes often face when transitioning out of their sports careers. Listen in for an insightful discussion on “defining success” as a former athlete, and Kelsey’s thoughts on navigating life after the jersey.
