Everyone remembers their first love. For me, mine was my sport...and if you have found yourself here, I think yours was too.

Welcome to Locker Talk®, my podcast I've created to spread mental health awareness, share space, and build community.

My Locker Talk® concept consists of Women's Locker Talk®, Men's Locker Talk™, LGBTQ+ Locker Talk™, and Locker Talk University™. I articulate stigmatized topics that may or may not be discussed both openly and behind the scenes in our sports environments and communities today. They certainly were left unspoken throughout my career as a competitive distance runner when I struggled tremendously with Depression, eating disorders, food insecurity, suicidal ideations, and much more during my time competing as a nationally acclaimed distance runner for UCLA women's cross country and distance track and field. My simple hope for my Locker Talk™ concept is to use the art of storytelling with some help from some highly esteemed professionals I met along my journey to carry the love that I had for my sport and intercollegiate athletics as an act of love, compassion, and wellness, not self-destruction. Regardless of your sport or lack thereof, demographic, gender identity, sexuality, or race, I welcome all to my locker rooms to listen and hopefully take the stories and resources I share as a roadmap and source of unconditional and unwavering acceptance and support to something that you might be currently undergoing.

If you have a story you would like to share, support, or feedback, please text me!
