Episode 74: Megan Henry, Soldier. Athlete. Survivor. Coach.

Kirsten sits down with a force of nature this week, Megan Henry, and they talk about her grit, determination, resilience, and perseverance whether it was in the Armed Forces or as a Team USA Athlete. A lifelong athlete, Megan competed in Division I Sports - Field Hockey & Track and Field. After joining the Army, her next athletic pursuit took her on an icy 80mph headfirst sled ride where she represented Team USA Skeleton and the Army World Class Athlete Program for over a decade. She’s a self-proclaimed small but explosive athlete that might be an adrenaline junkie. What an extraordinary woman that just keeps challenging herself! Megan's dreams were put on hold when she was diagnosed with life-threatening blood clots and was told she'd never be an athlete again. Instead of giving up, Megan chose to tell a different story. Now, Megan empowers elite athletes and high performers to create their reality. She talks about FUN and JOY and how Peak Performance comes from that place. And parents, she talks about letting your kids PROBLEM SOLVE and OWN THEIR JOURNEY and LEARN THEIR LESSONS.
