Podcasts about bravey

To say that getting to interview Alexi Pappas in person at the Servus Calgary Marathon this last weekend was a dream come true is an understatement. I have been a massive fan of this Greek-American Olympian for a long time: she is also an artist, an actor/filmmaker, a podcaster and a truly generous soul. Alexi and I talked about her two books, Bravey and the adaptation she wrote for younger readers, and the new book and film projects she is currently working on. We also dive into the ways she has found joy in the sport in every form: from dancing through the streets during the New York Marathon, to working with her vision-impaired running partner Lisa as she targets the Paralympics, to being an example of what a beautiful continued run life can be after a professional career.  Alexi constantly centres other people's experiences by listening and learning from everyone she encounters (as proved by her podcast Mentor Buffet) and gives incredible advice from a place of experience. I hope you find this magical episode as glittery and bubble-gun filled as we all did. IYKYK Follow Alexi @alexipappas --- EPISODE SPONSOR: Did you have an awesome time at the Servus Calgary Marathon?

It's easy to assume an Olympian would be all about external achievements, but Alexi Pappas has redefined what success means to her by letting go of goals altogether.

Her writing has appeared in The New York Times, Sports Illustrated, and The Atlantic, and she's been featured in outlets like Rolling Stone and New York Magazine.

How do you ignite evolution? How do you find your purpose? And how do you have the confidence to pursue it? Here to imbue our lives with more joy, glitter, and play is the highly inspiring and energetic Alexi Pappas, back for round two on the podcast. If you missed her standout first appearance back in early 2021, Alexi is a former Olympic track and field athlete and Greek national record holder in the 10,000 meters. She's also a poet, a performer, an award-winning filmmaker, and author of the critically acclaimed bestselling memoir Bravey. Her feature film resume includes some variation of writing, co-writing, directing, and/or starring in Not an Artist with RZA, Olympic Dreams with Nick Kroll, and Tracktown with Rachel Dratch. Her writing has appeared in The Atlantic, The New York Times, Outside Magazine, and Sports Illustrated. And she's recently penned a new version of Bravey (Adapted for Young Readers). My first exchange with Alexi centered on what it takes to execute at the highest level of sport and art simultaneously and the challenges she faced pursuing two very different dreams. Today we go further, exploring her new relationship with running as a former pro, her goals as a professional in the creative arts, and her soon-to-be-released new podcast, Mentor Buffet. We also discuss how she's inspiring women and girls to fall in love with movement, mental health in sport, and how mentorship has informed her life and career. Alexi also drops some wisdom gold—sharing actionable tools for growth like her ‘blank whiteboard rule', something she calls ‘glop', and many more mindset gems. Alexi is a delightful and wise role model—and this conversation is more than time well spent.

Who knew that Ki , as it is related to the Japanese martial art Aikido, would make into a Cider Chat! It all began when four words "Bravey, Wisdom, Love and Friendship" were spoken at New York Apple Camp in the summer of 2023. Apple Historian, author and well known apple dectective John Bunker was the key note speaker at camp who also happened to have a book all about Aikido. He had found those four inspiring words in a book titled "The Art of Peace'. The book was written by Morihei Ueshiba, the Founder of Aikido, and was translated into English by John Stevens who was a student of the Founder. The Founder , or Ōsensei as he was lovingly spoken often of Ki and its power. In short it is a universal life force that is present in all of us and all living things, including apple trees, orchards and cider.  The book was written by Morihei Ueshiba, the Founder of Aikido, and was translated into English by John Stevens who was a student of the Founder.

American-born runner Alexi Pappas competed for Greece in the 2016 Rio Olympics where she smashed the Greek world record in the Women's 10k. But her journey to the Olympics didn't fill the void she had expected. Pappas speaks publicly and in her book, Bravey, about the loss of her mother when she was just 5-years-old and the impact that had on her life – on and off the track. She's now become a mental health advocate for athletes. Pappas sat down with In the Moment's David Greene to discuss why she considers the 2016 Olympics to be the “end of the beginning” of her life. Greene talks to Pappas about her running career and how she draws on that training as she moves into the next phase of her career.

In this episode I talk about what it's been like transitioning from NCAA to World Cup skiing, climbing out of my depression cave, learning to trust myself and I even read some of my favourite sections from the book "Bravey" by Maya Rudolph. It's hard to imagine that less than 12 months ago I was curled up in my college apartment wishing I was anywhere else in the world and now I'm sitting in my European hotel room in Switzerland counting my blessings for the opportunities I have. Life can be crazy sometimes but it's important to stay true to yourself and have faith that things will turn around if you pu your mind to it.

Still Black History Month and so we are going to start off with the history-making Olympic athletes: speedskater Erin Jackson and barrier-breaking Debi Thomas.  Then Teresa dives into runner and filmmaker, Alexi Pappas, and her lessons on the importance of mental health.  Amy wraps it up with skier Lindsey Vonn and actress Goldie Hawn who are both helping others deal with mental health.  These are some great stories.  Find a comfy spot, throw some headphones on, and take some time to get inspired.We would love to hear from you.  Send us your comments or even your own inspirational stories at tangentialinspiration@gmail.com or give us your comments on our website, TangentialInspiration.com.Follow us on our social media:Website: https://tangentialinspiration.com/Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/tangentialinspiration/Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/pages/category/Podcast/Tangential-Inspiration-110449931124565/Twitter: https://twitter.com/TangentialInsp1

Goals are great. But far more important is who you become in the pursuit of said goals. Focus on the inside work. Process over results. Craft over competition. Ritual over routine. Recalibration over resolution. And watch your world change.After an extended break, the ever-so-popular Coaches' Corner edition of the podcast is back with not one Olympian, not two Olympians, but three Olympians on deck.Packed with past podcast faves, today's panel features endurance legend and Coach's Corner OG Chris Hauth, swimmer Caroline Burckle, and track and field turned marathon superstar (and my Malibu Triathlon relay teammate!) Alexi Pappas.For those new to the pod, Chris is a sub-9 hour Ironman champion, a former Olympic Swimmer and professional triathlete, a veteran of many an ultra-endurance challenge, my ÖTILLÖ Swimrun World Championship teammate, and one of the world's most respected endurance coaches.Caroline (aka Burks) is a former elite competitive swimmer & Olympic medalist with 23 All American titles, 2 NCAA individual victories & NCAA Female Swimmer of the Year accolades to her name. She is the co-founder of RISE, a mentor program that pairs Olympic athletes with young elite athletes for support and guidance.And finally, Alexi is a runner, award-winning writer, poet, actor, and filmmaker. In addition to setting the Greek national record in the 10,000 meters at the 2016 Olympics, Alexi has co-written, co-directed, and co-starred in three feature films and authored the bestselling memoir Bravey, a primer on self-actualization, surviving trauma, and pursuing disparate dreams.Today Chris, Caroline, & Alexi share sage advice on everything from endurance, training, goal setting, and more.But this is not your average kick in the pants “new year-new you” narrative. Instead, it's a collective effort to voyage beyond the tired tropes and well-trodden bullet points. Courtesy of Olympic, experience-based wisdom, it's about leveraging fitness to evolve, grow, and live according to your values.Not only will this conversation set you on a better path to actualizing your goals, but—more importantly—it will put you on a healthy and sustainable, long-term trajectory to becoming the better, more self-actualized you within.To read more, click here. You can also watch it all go down on YouTube. And as always, the podcast streams wild and free on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.Chris, Caroline, and Alexi are some of my favorite people. This trifecta is over the top. My hope is that their words inspire you to bust through analysis paralysis and any preconceived notions you have about who you are and what you're capable of.Enjoy!Peace + Plants, See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Both our interviews today deal with the pressures we put on ourselves. First, Olympic runner Alexi Pappas on her memoir, Bravey. On the outside, Pappas was living what looked like a great life; she was breaking Greek Olympic records and her movie got a distribution deal. But, she told NPR's Ari Shapiro, she was still deeply sad. Next, an interview from early in the pandemic when women were disproportionately feeling the burden of our new reality. Glennon Doyle, author of Untamed, told former NPR host Lulu Garcia-Navarro that "every woman on earth needs to lower her expectations for herself."

Alexi Pappas is an Olympic runner and an award-winning actor and writer. Her memoir-in-essays, "Bravey," was one of my favorite books of the year. She opens up about chasing her wildest dreams, competing at + becoming a national record holder in the 2016 Rio Olympics. But it was what happened AFTER the Olympics that really shaped her. She had severe clinical depression hit, so badly she almost took her own life. With the help of a doctor who helped her see her mental pain the same way as her physical pain-- she has a whole new understanding of mental health and is sharing with us today:  How it was who she least expected who helped convince her to go for her Olympic dream.  Why you should embrace satellite mentors. The unsuspecting mental health battle she faced after her Olympic High How we need to reframe chasing our dreams and “enjoying the journey.”  How we all need to learn to expect and prepare for “a dip” after reaching our goals. What she's learned about herself through running and through going for all of her big dreams. Good Pain Vs. Bad Pain and how to know the difference. What she wants her legacy to be. Losing her mother to suicide at a very young age + how her relationship with her mother fluctuates even though she's passed away.  Produced by Dear Media.

Heather has been an athlete for most of her life. She took her love of swimming and entered the triathlon world, eventually crushing Ironman. She eventually married her love of running and all things Disney and tackled a number of runDisney runs. This is where she met Jen. Jen began running during her weight loss journey half a dozen years ago. She previously only ran from base to base as a varsity softball player and loathed running. But thanks to her friends and a supportive network, she ran her first 5K. Heather and Jen met as Jen was training for her first half marathon and eventually her first full marathon thanks to Heather's encouragement. The two are now dear friends and share a coach/athlete relationship. This friendship and love for running comes through on their podcast.  All information provided by Heather Jergensen Coaching and Runners Without Limits is of a general nature and is furnished only for educational/entertainment purposes only.

This week, we reviewed our book of the quarter: "Bravey" by Alexi Pappas. In the book, Pappas--a Greek Olympian and filmmaker--describes the physical and mental challenges she has faced as an elite athlete and the survivor of depression. It's an important contribution to the ongoing conversation about athletes and mental health, but we had differing opinions of the book.

Kirsten Parker is the host of Women Run Canada where she talks with Olympians, running legends, race directors and community builders who share our passion for this fantastic sport. Carolyn even had the pleasure of co-hosting an episode with Kirsten where they interviewed her hometown running Shero, Paula Wiltse. In this episode we pull back the curtain on:Her decision to start the podcastHow she books such incredible guestsWhether she ever gets star struck, and Who's still on her dream guest list. In her day job Kirsten is the Operations Manager for the Manitoba Marathon. We get into the challenges of event management during a global pandemic and what changes we can expect as in-person races start to return. Kirsten began running in her late 20s during a Winnipeg February (pretty hardcore!) and has racked up her fair share of miles on Garbage Hill on her lunch breaks. As a runner, event manager and podcaster she is certainly giving back to the running community in more ways than most.Connect with Kirsten on social:IG: @womenruncanadaResources we discussed in the episode:A Behind-the-Scenes Look at the Ali on the Run ShowFavourite Mantra: Joy finds spaceFavourite Place to Run: Anywhere when her mindset is rightBucket List Race: Chicago Marathon; Freakin Fast MarathonFavourite Book(s)/Movie: Let Your Mind Run; Bravey; TracktownPost-Run Indulgence: Americano and pain au chocolat from Park Line Coffee
