A proposito di questo titolo

On this powerful episode of Stripped Naked host Marci Kornegay introduces her new podcast about former elite athletes who are courageously redefining who they are after retirement from high-performance sport. From Olympic competitors to world-class pros, these women open up about the emotional, mental, and personal journey of rediscovering identity beyond athletics—a transition that’s often overlooked but deeply transformative. Marci explores what it really means to step away from the spotlight, leave behind the structure and intensity of elite training, and step into a new phase of life with vulnerability and purpose. Listeners will hear honest conversations about rebuilding confidence, navigating career pivots, embracing motherhood, discovering new passions, healing from burnout, and learning to thrive in a world that no longer revolves around competition. Whether you’re a current athlete, a retired competitor, a coach, or someone navigating a major life transition, this episode offers relatable insights and empowering tools for reclaiming identity. With authenticity, humor, and heart, Marci Kornegay uncovers the stories behind the medals and celebrates the strength it takes to evolve.
