## Resource

Charlie Jacobi represented Team USA in two Rugby World Cups. But no one prepared her for what came after. This is a raw conversation about identity, ego, grief, ambition, and rebuilding from scratch. In this episode, we cover: The identity crisis that hits when you retire from elite sport Why external validation is addictive The ego side of high performance (that nobody admits) Transitioning from player to coach Moving continents immediately after retiring Losing both parents while chasing a World Cup Why most people don’t actually want their goals The mindset required to go from 126kg to World Cup athlete Women in sport and the confidence gap “Don’t give anyone a reason to tell you no” If you’ve ever tied your worth to what you do — this one will hit.
