Ep30: After the Finish Line: Olympian Nick Cunningham's Journey to Purpose

Olympian Nick Cunningham spent his life chasing speed.From a young sprinter growing up in Monterey, California, to representing Team USA on the world’s biggest stage… his identity was built on discipline, belief, and the pursuit of a dream that carried him across the globe - shooting down the ice at nearly 90 miles an hour.But what happens when the dream ends?In this deeply honest conversation, Nick opens up about the unexpected grief that followed his Olympic career; the quiet depression that set in when the structure and identity he had known disappeared, and the difficult question so many high performers face: Who am I now?What followed was not another race - but a return to himself.Today, as a coach and mentor, Nick has found great purpose helping others believe in their own potential, proving that sometimes losing the dream you thought defined you is what leads you to the life you were meant to live.This is a story about identity, resilience, and discovering that the finish line isn’t the end of the story.It’s where a new one begins.Connect with Nick on instagram: @bobsledr------Connect with Marilyn and be a part of the conversation in the I Choose Happy private Facebook group.
