Episode 42: Siri Lindley - Unleashing Your Hunger

06/07/17 • 62 min

Siri is a former 2x World Champion and #1 ranked triathlete in the world. Yet this episode has nothing to do with swimming, biking, running or winning medals. Siri explains how athletics have helped her get out of her own head and learn to love herself. At age 23, she could barely swim and she entered a race and now realizes it stemmed from an intense hunger to be comfortable being alone with herself. Her ability to share her story and lessons so they're applicable to your life and mine is truly special. She's as real as it gets.
