Underdog Stories: Podcast Feature with Fox 5 San Diego & KUSI

I had the chance to sit down with Fox 5 San Diego & KUSI for their Underdog podcast—recorded just before heading to Mallorca for the first leg of the Sailing Grand Slam.

We talked about the reality behind this campaign—the highs, the doubts, and the decision to go all-in on something that most people would consider long past its window.

Highlights from the conversation:

• Returning to elite competition after nearly two decades

• Being both a competitor and a mom

• The mental side of chasing a high-performance goal later in life

• Why the “second wind” can be stronger than the first

This one felt personal—and honest in a way that doesn’t always come through in written features.
