Having meaningful goals and high expectations of ourselves – while remaining realistic and compassionate – is a delicate balance. This week Laura talks with Olympian and U.S. National Ski Team Champion, author, and mom, Libby Ludlow. They discuss her tremendous achievements, range of regrets, the merit in having a failure resume, and how living according to one’s personal values [as opposed to as if every day is your last] can help mitigate overwhelm. No need to have ever even seen snow for this conversation to resonate deeply.
