The Games may be over. But the mindset? That’s what we’re here for. We’re kicking off the Journey to June Olympic Series with Erin Aldrich-Shean — Olympian, dual-sport athlete, and one of the most honest voices you’ll hear about what it really takes. Erin competed in the 2000 Summer Olympics as a high jumper. She dreamed of the Olympics at six years old. She missed the team at 18. Four years later...

In this anniversary episode of Journey to June, Josi and I reflect on what these three years have revealed — the unseen work behind high performers, the humility under ambition, and the way transitions test whether you truly know yourself. We also share what’s next: an Olympic Interview Series focused on the journey, not the podium — and Identity Reset for women navigating pressure, reinvention, a...

This week on Journey to June, I’m sharing a solo reflection on belief—what it really means to trust yourself when life doesn’t go the way you planned. I share about being in a season of healing and forced slowing, and why belief isn’t confidence, motivation, or results. It’s a quiet, internal commitment to who you are becoming, even when there’s no evidence yet. This episode is for anyone feeling...

In this episode of Journey to June, I sat down with Rachel Pesso, Creative Director and Founder of RP Creative, for a conversation about identity, alignment, and what happens when your brand no longer reflects the depth of who you are—or the work you’re here to do.

We talk about what happens whe...

This week on Journey to June, I sat down with Ed Lubowicki, a leadership coach, former Division I athlete, and someone who has spent years studying what really happens when high performers hit transition points.

On this week’s episode of Journey to June, I’m joined by my favorite co-host—my daughter, Josi June—for our third annual year-end reflection. This has become one of our favorite traditions. A pause. A breath. A moment to look back before moving forward. In this conversation, Josi reflects on her year—especially stepping into volleyball when she wasn’t confident, wasn’t experienced, and didn’t know...

This was an episode that needed to happen. In this conversation, I sit down with my dear friend and longtime sounding board, Christi Nix Bloomer —executive coach, former Big 4 consultant, and someone I’ve shared an ongoing, agenda-less call with for the last five years.  What started as a simple check-in turned into a powerful conversation about boundaries, people-pleasing, and learning to pa...
