Choose Strong with Sally McRae
The Choose Strong podcast hosted by Sally Bergesen is a truly remarkable show that encapsulates the essence of what it means to be human, vulnerable, and courageous. Since attending one of her running clinics in 2012, I have been captivated by Sally's humanness and raw honesty that shines through in her words. As a mother, business owner, wife, and athlete, I deeply appreciate the wisdom and impact her words have had on me and many others. From tough times to belly laughs, Sally has been there for me every step of the way.
One of the best aspects of The Choose Strong podcast is Sally's ability to provide deep moments of impact and wisdom. Each episode leaves me with a new perspective and a sense of empowerment. Her gentle encouragement is exactly what I need as a woman, mom, and athlete. Listening to Sally speak makes me want to go out into the world and make a positive change in my little corner of it. Her authenticity and willingness to share both triumphs and tragedies make her relatable on multiple levels.
While it's hard to find any faults in The Choose Strong podcast, if there was one aspect that could be improved upon it would be the frequency of episodes being released. As a dedicated listener, I eagerly await each new episode and find myself wanting more. The insights shared by Sally are so valuable that I can't get enough of them. However, this minor critique does not diminish the overall quality and impact of the podcast.
In conclusion, The Choose Strong podcast is an invaluable resource for anyone seeking inspiration, motivation, or simply a fresh perspective on life. Sally Bergesen's authentic voice and wisdom challenge listeners to live with truthfulness and authenticity in everything they do. Whether you're an athlete looking to improve or simply someone looking for guidance in navigating life's challenges, this podcast will leave you feeling empowered and ready to conquer whatever lies ahead. I am incredibly grateful for having found Sally on this platform and eagerly await future episodes. Keep shining, Sally!
