ACT's Chief Transition Guide, Jaime Komer and Cheif Storyteller, Kelsi Stockert- both transitioned athletes themselves, dive into the conversation of Self-Awareness.
Self Awareness is truly the key ingredient for transition.
Jaime and Kelsi talk about personal experiences through navigating self awareness- vulnerably bringing light to the times we find ourselves out of touch with our self and what that looks like, what that feels like. While also providing tools and tips to be self aware, to start building a genuine and authentic relationship with yourself.
What does self awareness look like for you? How does it feel when you are fully aware and nourishing a relationship with your self?
We encourage our listeners to open up the conversations with your self. To take the flashlight of self awareness and shine it on the good stuff, the hard stuff and everything in between of who YOU truly are, and want to be.
