And if you mess it up, you've got to wait another four years.

And so it's not only the athletic pursuit of it,

But the business side of it as well is like, how do we maximize this time that you don't know if you're going to go once or you'll have multiple opportunities.

So I think it's really difficult for Olympians.

And then when you start to even get smaller for, you know, for Olympians of color, for women, you know, the opportunities are smaller.

So it's been challenging through the years to really be able to get out there and

I always feel like for female athletes as well is not only do you have to be extraordinary in what you do, but there's also this other thing where it feels like there's like the standard of beauty or there's, you know, you have to also be, you know, appealing in this certain way.

And it, I think after a while just becomes exhausting.

You know, it's like you're constantly fighting to make it.

And, you know, sometimes you feel like you are not

yourself when you're trying to fit this version of like, you know, what are they looking for?

How can I be that when it's not really who I am?

And so I think it's really, you know, been a struggle.

But I think definitely it was a turning point when we started working together.

I felt like I could lean into more of myself and be able to honor that.

I think it really was eventually doing things like outside of the traditional sense, you know, for, I think a lot of stuff shifted for us when, you know, we started speaking out once we, you know, created our company and,

I was sponsored by Seishu, our own company.

It was like breaking outside of the mold of the way that things had always been done and understanding that that's okay and that's good.

And I think it was also just being ourselves instead of trying to fit into this mold of what you think that they're looking for.

Yeah, I started a family and I was really scared to do that.
