After six injuries, a concussion, and a pre diabetes diagnosis in one season, River could’ve quit roller derby for good. Instead, she drew a line in the sand and rebuilt her body and mindset from the ground up.

In this powerful conversation, I sit down with River to unpack how she went from “everything is breaking down” to feeling stronger, faster, and more confident than ever.

You’ll learn:
How to break free from the injury–burnout cycle
The five-part “Transformation Framework” River used to make her comeback
Why fueling more (not less) unlocked her energy and endurance
How to let go of perfectionism and keep showing up
The game-changing power of support and community

What if you could go from feeling like you're constantly behind… to being named MVP? In this episode, I chat with Peggy, a roller derby skater who once had zero off-skate training, no plan, and no confidence, but completely transformed her game in just 16 weeks.

Peggy wasn’t trying to be the best; she just wanted to believe in herself and keep up with her league. What she got was a mindset reset, a structured training plan, and proof that she could do hard things. From struggling with consistency to confidently calling herself an athlete, this episode is for every skater who’s felt behind, burned out, or unsure if they belong.

What you'll hear:

- The moment Peggy realized something needed to change
- Why short, structured workouts beat hours at the gym
- How she tackled negative self-talk (and taught her kid to be her hype crew!)
- Her journey from “just surviving” to being voted MVP
- Practical tips for training, mindset, and sustainable motivation

If you’re tired of winging it and ready to train with purpose—this one’s for you.
