What do you do when you achieve everything you set out to accomplish — and it still doesn’t feel like enough?
Allyson Felix is the most decorated track and field athlete of all time: 11 Olympic medals. 5 Olympic Games. But the most important lesson of her career had nothing to do with winning.
In this episode, Allyson opens up about:
-
the grief of losing the identity you’ve built your life around
-
what it really felt like to win silver when the world expected gold
-
training at 4am in the dark while pregnant to hide it from sponsors
-
the New York Times op-ed that forced Nike to change maternity policy
-
and the moment she stopped tying her worth to her results
Whether you're chasing a goal right now — or wondering what comes after you reach it — this conversation will change how you think about success, identity, and what you're really running toward.
