About this listen

What happens when the role that defined you—athlete, coach, new parent, high-flyer—suddenly disappears? In this raw, practical episode, we unpack identity loss after injury and other life pivots, and explore how to rebuild a self that isn’t tied to a single label. We talk Morgan’s Message, why asking “How are you, really?” matters, and how coaches, parents, and teammates can create space for honest conversations—before crisis hits.

You’ll hear:

  • A candid story of losing (and rebuilding) identity after a spine injury

  • Why attachment to roles amplifies suffering—and how to loosen it

  • Simple ways to check in with yourself and others without awkwardness

  • How teams and families can normalize vulnerability without losing toughness

  • Resources and next steps for student-athletes and supporters (incl. Morgan’s Message)
