About this listen

Carly Patterson was just 16 when she won Olympic gold - then suddenly had to figure out who she was without gymnastics.

In our first episode of Season 3: This Is My Story, Carly shares the rarely told story after the medals:

  • The identity crisis that followed peak success

  • The pressure to live up to “gold” for the rest of her life

  • Her unexpected faith journey when control slipped away

  • A painful season of infertility—and learning to release outcomes

  • How purpose looks different when the spotlight fades

This isn’t a story about gymnastics. It’s a story about what we do when our biggest win doesn’t bring peace.

If you’ve ever:

  • Reached a milestone and still felt unfulfilled

  • Struggled with identity after a major life transition

  • Tried to control an outcome that wouldn’t budge

Carly’s journey will meet you right where you are—and remind you that your worth was never tied to your achievement.

🎧 Listen now to hear how faith, surrender, and resilience reshaped life after Olympic gold.
