Her unwavering love for the sport and the tight-knit community surrounding it is a force that propels her forward, and you can feel the passion in every word she speaks.   But there's more to Arielle's story than meets the eye.

Her advice goes beyond the stage, reminding us to savor every moment of our own lives and find joy in the journey, rather than getting caught up in the outcome.   What you'll hear in this episode: [2:55] Arielle's background.
