Manage episode 421913848 series 3577168
Get ready for an inspiring episode of Teeter Talks, as I am joined by the amazing Kaillie Humphries! Kaillie is a renowned Olympic bobsledder with a career marked by numerous accolades, including three Olympic gold medals and a bronze. She has become a trailblazer in the sport, known for her incredible strength, speed, and leadership. While her athletic success is impressive, her story of having to leave team Canada for team USA is one marked by courage and is truly inspiring. This experience has led her to advocate for safety and for women in sport. An athlete, Olympian, leader, and soon to be mother, Kaillie can truly be summed up as a badass woman! Join us today as we dive into these topics:
• The issue of abuse in sports and Kaillie's personal journey- including her experiences with abusive coaches and the pivotal decision to switch from Team Canada to Team USA.
• Kaillie's thoughts on leadership and some of the identifying characteristics that come with being a leader.
• Advocating for young girls, safety in sports and the importance of standing up for yourself and teammates.
• Challenges with infertility, Kaillie’s journey with IVF and the parallels between the Olympic and IVF process.
Like me, I hope this episode has left you feeling empowered and grateful. If you enjoyed listening, be sure to show Kaillie and this podcast some love and support as well. Your feedback is so valuable, so please leave a rating or review wherever you’re tuning in from!
