180: Redefining Your Own Athletic Life with Katie Austin

Feb 22

In this episode, I sit down with Katie Austin: fitness expert, health coach, creator, and so much more, to discuss everything from our fitness journeys to our attachments to certain identities. We talk about our intense experiences as Division I athletes, our relationships with movement now, and how Katie’s upbringing was influenced by her parents, who are both athletes. We also discuss losing our competitiveness as we get older, Katie’s perspective on her mother’s success, and what it was like sharing 2022’s Sports Illustrated Rookie of the Year with her best friend.
