Description:

Hurdlers! Welcome to Season 18! I’m back from Paris and stoked to bring you so many unbelievable conversations I had while at Athleta’s Power of She Creator Hub. We are kicking off the new season with Natalie Coughlin, 12-time Olympic medalist and the first female swimmer to bring home six medals in a single olympiad.

We cover so much in this conversation — of course hitting on all of Natatlie’s experiences at The Games; also how she first found the pool, her unwavering positive perspective amidst struggle, and how she navigated the transition from full-time athlete to her next chapter, which may include a winery.
