030 | Dear 13-Year-Old Me: Don’t Be Afraid — A 30th Birthday Pep Talk
Have you ever looked back at your younger self and wished you could give her a hug… and a little pep talk? Turning 30 has done that to me in the best way possible. Maybe it’s the milestone, maybe it’s the reflection, or maybe it’s just realizing how fast life moves — one minute you’re 13 and terrified of making mistakes, and the next you’re stepping into a new decade with deeper confidence and a whole lot more courage. This birthday episode is my love letter to 13-year-old me… and every teen athlete who’s still learning to take the shot, trust God, and be brave even when it feels uncomfortable.
Also, stay tuned for the after party where you'll hear from the UC Capitals Women's Basketball Team!

🔑 Episode Highlights:
Why fear of mistakes holds young athletes back — and how perfectionism secretly steals confidence.
How embracing discomfort builds true courage and growth, on and off the court.
The practical mindset shift that I know would’ve been much more helpful embracing as a 13-year-old.
💬 Quote Worth Remembering:
“Get comfortable being uncomfortable — your goals will demand it.”
– Teige Morrell
