Becoming My Stronger Me
"Becoming My Stronger Me” is a podcast designed to help you become stronger in mind, body, and heart.
Season 1 - Like 47 million other Americans, I voluntarily left my successful full-time career to pursue, well, whatever was next. We’ll call this “my great resignation.” As you get to know me, you’ll see that I’m a type-A planner. So to make a life choice without some grand detailed master plan on the other side was unheard of. But now, 2 years later, it was the best decision of my life. Join me as I share my story, questions I asked myself (or wish I had), missteps I made (and how to avoid them), the effect this had on me and everyone around me, and other musings that helped me to become my stronger me.
Season 2 - The Mental Performance Series is dedicated to exploring the intricate relationship between mental performance, sports excellence, leadership, and personal growth. We’ll dive deep into the psychology behind peak performance in athletics, leadership roles, and everyday life. Whether you're an athlete looking to optimize your mental game on the field, a leader seeking to inspire and motivate your team, or an individual striving for personal growth and success, this series provides practical tips, actionable strategies, and inspiring stories to help you unlock your full potential and become your stronger you.

Becoming My Stronger Me
Conversation with Demetra Mallios
In this episode, I sit down with Demetra Mallios—former professional soccer player turned founder and CEO of Puberry, a wellness company on a mission to reframe puberty for Gen Z and Gen Alpha.
Demetra shares her journey from competing at the highest levels of soccer to launching a purpose-driven company focused on empowering youth through education, confidence, and self-awareness.
We explore the mental toughness required in sport, how her identity as an athlete shaped her entrepreneurial mindset, and why supporting young people through life’s transitions—especially puberty—is a game changer.
This conversation is a powerful blend of sport, purpose, and innovation. Whether you're a parent, coach, athlete, or educator, Demetra’s story will challenge you to think differently about development—on and off the field.
