🎙️ Taking Chances – Why Not You?
Episode Title: “Sisters in the Arena: Bella & Kathryn Miletich”
Today’s episode is a masterclass in grit, discipline, and sisterhood.
I’m joined by two powerhouse women who are no strangers to pushing limits—Bella and Kathryn Miletich. Daughters of UFC Hall of Famer and world champion Pat Miletich and the incredible Lynne Miletich, these sisters are carving their own endurance legacy—one mile, one stroke, one finish line at a time.
Bella just crushed her second marathon—the Enders YMCA Harrisburg Marathon—in 3:41. That’s impressive on its own. But she did it while juggling grad school, coaching a college swim team, working part-time, and training solo in New Jersey. No training group. No hype squad. Just pure self-motivation and a whole lot of heart. A former Lane 4 swimmer turned collegiate rower at Jacksonville University, Bella’s now chasing her master’s with the same intensity she once brought to the pool.
And then there’s Kathryn. A 2022 Bettendorf High School grad and 15-year Lane 4 swimmer, she just completed her first Ironman—yes, Ironman Florida—in 12 hours and 18 minutes, with a blistering 59-minute swim. She’s studying Finance at FAU and graduates this December, but she’s already investing in something far more valuable: her own potential.
We talked about what it takes to balance training, school, work, and life. We got into nutrition, motivation, and what keeps them going when no one’s watching. And spoiler alert—they’re just getting started.
So if you’ve ever wondered how to fit big dreams into a packed schedule—or how to turn family legacy into personal fuel—this one’s for you.
Let’s go.
