About this episode
Four-time Olympic gold medalist Sanya Richards-Ross reflects on the inner work behind elite performance — navigating self-expectation, identity, and life after the finish line. She shares how injury, loss, and transition reshaped her understanding of success, and how she now brings that mindset into motherhood, work, and community.
