This is for the recovering destination-driven achievers who are looking to slow down the hustle and, to quote Alex Warren, ‘make the mundane, a masterpiece.’

PURPOSE | At 20 years old snowboarder Maddy Schaffrick thought she would never pick up a snowboard again. The sport that had been her life, her career as a pro snowboarder out of Steamboat Springs, Colorado had wrecked her, ruined her, and left her wondering what on earth to do with herself as someone who spent very little of her adolescent years in the ‘regular’ world. She became a plumber, then a coach to little kids to get a free ski pass, and finally a developmental coach to the next-gen of up-and-coming snowboarders. This episode validates the trauma that all-too-often occurs within teenage sport prodigies, we walk through the process of healing, and the ultimate comeback. This PowHERful Podcast is for anyone who’s been hurt in the past who so desperately wants to rewire that pain into purpose. For Maddy it’s led her to her very first Olympic Games. Where could it lead you?

OPTIMISM | At first Anna Gibson thought the idea of joining Team USA’s ski mountaineering training camp was a bit ridiculous. She’s a professional trail and track runner, and diverting into ski mountaineering, a sport that will make its Olympic debut in Milan-Cortina, wasn’t in her 2025 plans. But then she asked the question ‘what if?’ and had the courage to look at the positive possibilities. Instead of focusing on what if it didn’t work out, she leaned into the belief that what if it did? The result: she’s an Olympian, and will represent Team USA in skimo in Italy. This episode is for anyone who’s also wondered ‘what if’ when considering a change, a career move, a new city, a new hobby, and shows what’s possible when you choose to chase it.
