Episode 9: Identity and Sport, External Validation, and Anticipating Change with Anna Ruby
from The With Intention Podcast with Hannah Folau · host Hannah Folau
Welcome back to The With Intention Podcast!! I am your host, Hannah Folau, and today my best friend and role model, Anna Ruby, blesses us with her intelligence and grounded perspective. Anna Ruby has been one of my best friends since the 6th grade. Lacrosse introduced us and was the catalyst for our strong and empowering friendship. Anna is from Westminster, Maryland and was a star on the field from the beginning. She went on to play lacrosse for Loyola University, where she is currently having a stellar season (she won't tell you that because she is humble so I must fulfill my best friend duties and brag about her to you). On today's episode Anna provides a grounding and emotionally intelligent perspective on the undeniably link between what we do with who we are. Anna explains how self worth and image can get wrapped up in external validation. Graduating from her MBA soon, Anna lets us in on how she is feeling for her next chapter and why she feels so at peace with it. She truly is one of the smartest, most articulate, and kind souls I have ever met and I am so excited to share this episode with you. Peace and love, Hannah
