About this listen

What happens when the game you’ve devoted your life to is no longer part of your story? For Katie Kabbes, former Penn State volleyball standout, the end of her athletic career brought an unexpected wave of grief and uncertainty.

In this powerful and heartfelt episode, Katie shares her journey of navigating life after sports—the feeling of being lost, the struggle to find patience in the process, and the lessons she learned about building meaningful relationships. We dive deep into the often-overlooked emotional toll of retirement, why it’s okay to sit in discomfort, and how to lean on your community to rediscover purpose.

This conversation will challenge you to rethink what it means to transition out of sports and remind you of the strength that comes from starting over. Whether you’re an athlete or someone facing a major life change, Katie’s story will resonate in ways you don’t expect.
