Caroline Burckle - Olympic Bronze Medal Swimmer

What happens after the Olympics have come and gone? For some athletes, they’ll take the next 4 years to prepare for another chance. For others, this was their last opportunity to compete on the world’s largest stage and they may spend the next four years trying to figure out what’s next. Transition is a phase of life that we will all go through, many times, and yet it’s almost something we’re ashamed to talk about and experience in our society. Transition and the discovery that our identities are so much more than just our professions and the accomplishments we achieve, is a major theme Olympic Bronze medalist swimmer, Caroline Burckle, and Gretchen discuss in this podcast. As impressive as Caroline’s accolades are, equally impressive is her fearless approach to sharing the vulnerable aspects of her success. Gretchen and Caroline also touch on things like being addicted to pain, the art of learning how to turn it OFF, depression, and a major take away that they couldn’t help but continue to come back to was this concept of integrating these seemingly opposing qualities that we all have within us......the bad ass that knows we can accomplish our dreams and goals and then the part of us that has a really big heart and feels guilty for having those desires, because we also just want to make sure that everyone else is happy......Caroline says you don’t get very far by only wanting to be one or the other.......
