In this episode, we open up about one of the hardest parts of being an athlete — separating who we are from how we perform. From navigating the pressure to always be “on,” to finding confidence through setbacks, we dive into what it really means to build self-worth beyond results.
As international athletes, we also talk about belonging, growth, and discovering identity far from home — and how those challenges have shaped the way we see ourselves today.
Whether you’re an athlete, a student, or just someone chasing big dreams, this conversation is your reminder that you are more than your performance — you are enough!
Welcome to the very first episode of Strong Accent, Stronger Mind! In this episode, we introduce ourselves and share the story behind the podcast — how it started, what it means to us, and why we believe that our accents, backgrounds, and experiences make us stronger. We’ll talk about our journeys, what listeners can expect from future episodes, and how embracing who you are — no matter where you come from — can become your greatest strength.
