Hi Kirsty, Your conversation with Dr. Deborah Latouf on the shift from medals to meaningful impact is exactly the kind of episode that doesn't get made on bigger platforms, and it needs to be. I'm Nirra Fields, 3x Olympian and former WNBA player. I lived that medals-vs-meaning tension directly, and it's what pushed me into mental performance coaching. I work with high-performing women on identity, emotional regulation, and what it actually takes to perform without losing yourself in the process. Would love to explore a guest episode if it fits where the show is heading. Best, Nirra
