Skye Moench had everything she thought she wanted until she realised it wasn’t enough. A world class athlete with a string of wins and a clear path to more. But something wasn’t sitting right. In this episode, Skye opens up about recognising when success stops feeling like purpose and what it takes to walk away from a version of yourself that everyone else admires. We talk about identity, motherhood, validation and the uncomfortable process of letting go of who you’ve been to become who you really are. This is a conversation about trusting your instincts, questioning the roles we’re expected to play and having the courage to choose a different kind of fulfilment.Check us out on Social Media: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the.endurersYou can follow Tim at https://www.instagram.com/tford14 You can follow Will at https://www.instagram.com/will_mccloy You can follow Skye at https://www.instagram.com/skyemoenchNeed support?
