What if the real battle in gymnastics is not the skill… but the story you are believing about yourself?In this episode of Beam Boldly, Brooke sits down with former NCAA head coach Nadalie Walsh to talk about identity, injury, transparency, and why so many athletes are competing while emotionally unwhole.After tearing her Achilles in college, Nadalie’s path shifted from athlete to coach at just 23 years old. Over the next two and a half decades, she led Division I programs with a philosophy that separated performance from worth and prioritized the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health of every athlete.Nadalie shares why perfectionism, fear, and comparison often take root after injuries or miscommunication. From fear of re-injury to fear of authority, she breaks down how transparency with yourself and with your coaches is the key to real freedom.Nadalie also shares how she now works with athletes through The Be Ready Collective and helps them heal from past experiences and rebuild confidence. If you are an athlete who has ever lost a skill, battled fear after an injury, struggled to communicate with a coach, or tied your identity to your score, this episode will remind you that you were never meant to compete broken. You were meant to compete whole.Listen if you’re: An athlete struggling with fear after an injuryA gymnast dealing with perfectionism or comparisonA parent wanting to better understand your athlete’s emotional worldA coach who wants to create a culture where athletes thriveLearning how to carry your faith boldly in competitive environmentsConnect: Guest:Natalie Website: https://thebereadycollective.com/beready-one-on-one-coaching/ Natalie’s Book: https://www.amazon.com/Enough-Coaches-Creating-Culture-Deserves/dp/B0B3MY169G Natali’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nadaliewalsh Host: Brooke Gleichowski: https://www.instagram.com/brooke.gleichowski Show: https://www.instagram.com/beamboldly Watch: https://www.youtube.com/@beamboldly Listen: Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts Join the community: https://connect.beamboldly.com/ Beam Boldly is produced by Hype Boss and PodPlus Studios, powered by Podcast Brilliance.

What happens when you stop separating your faith from your sport and invite God into every part of it?In this episode of Beam Boldly, Brooke sits down with former University of Kentucky gymnast Isabella Adams to talk about faith, identity, leadership, and learning to trust God in the middle of competition.Isabella shares how growing up in a Christian home laid the foundation for her faith, even when she was not fully living it. She reflects on choosing Kentucky through prayer, discovering a deeper relationship with Jesus during her college years, and stepping into leadership through the nonprofit - Fellowship of Christian Athletes - and team Bible studies.From writing the word trust on her wrist before competing, to choosing worship music as her beam song in packed arenas, Isabella explains how gymnastics became more than a sport. It became a platform to shine her light and share the gospel without ever needing a microphone.This conversation explores overcoming negative thought patterns, leading with faith on a Division I team, and what it looks like to let God shape both performance and purpose. Isabella also reflects on transitioning out of gymnastics and continuing to live out her faith in everyday life.If you are an athlete learning how to align faith and sport, navigate pressure, or lead with integrity, this episode will encourage you to trust God more deeply and compete from a place of peace.LISTEN IF YOU’RE:An athlete who wants their sport to be more than just results and rankingsTrying to figure out how faith fits into competition and pressureCurious about using your platform, big or small, to shine your lightLearning how to lead with faith in a team environmentIn a season where you are being asked to trust God more deeplyCONNECT: Guest:Isabella Magnelli Adams IG: https://www.instagram.com/isabellamagnelliadams Isabella Magnelli Adams Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@isabellamagnelliadams Host: Brooke Gleichowski: https://www.instagram.com/brooke.gleichowski Show: https://www.instagram.com/beamboldly Watch: https://www.youtube.com/@beamboldly Listen: Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts Join the community: https://connect.beamboldly.com/ Beam Boldly is produced by Hype Boss and PodPlus Studios, powered by Podcast Brilliance.

How do you move forward in faith after falling, when confidence is shaken and fear takes over?In this solo episode of Beam Boldly, host Brooke Gleichowski shares a deeply personal story from her experience in college gymnastics, when confidence quickly turned into pressure after falling twice on the balance beam in competition. As fear and negative thoughts began to spiral, Brooke found herself facing a battle that went far beyond gymnastics.The night before a meet in her hometown, Brooke had a vivid dream about the bible story of David and Goliath, where she saw herself as David facing a giant that represented the mental battles she had been fighting. When she woke up, she turned to bible verse 1 Samuel 17 and was reminded that just as David was equipped to face Goliath, God had already equipped her for the challenge ahead.Through scripture, prayer, and surrender, Brooke realized the true battle was not the balance beam, but the fear playing out in her mind. As she chose to trust God with the outcome and compete with peace instead of fear, she experienced one of the most meaningful moments of her season.This episode is an honest testimony of faith over fear, learning to let God fight the battle, and trusting that He goes before us in every challenge we face.KEY MOMENTS: • Falling twice on the balance beam and the mental battle that followed • Fear of losing her place in the lineup and trusting God in uncertainty • Encountering the story of David and Goliath in 1 Samuel 17 • Learning that the battle is the Lord’s, not hers to fight • Competing with peace by surrendering control and choosing faithCONNECT:Host: Brooke Gleichowski: https://www.instagram.com/brooke.gleichowski Show: https://www.instagram.com/beamboldly Watch: https://www.youtube.com/@beamboldly Listen: Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts Join the community: https://connect.beamboldly.com/ Beam Boldly is produced by Hype Boss and PodPlus Studios, powered by Podcast Brilliance.

What does it look like to find joy in the middle of life’s hardest trials?In this episode of Beam Boldly, Brooke sits down with Brody Malone, 2X Olympic gymnast and 10X NCAA National Champion, to talk about his journey from growing up in Georgia to competing for Stanford University and representing Team USA at the Tokyo 2020 and Paris 2024 Olympic Games, where he helped earn a team bronze medal.Brody opens up about loss that shaped his faith, including losing his mother to breast cancer at just 12 years old and later walking through the loss of his stepmother. He reflects on watching his father lean on God through immense grief and how those moments laid the foundation for a faith that would later sustain him through life.The conversation also dives into Brody’s devastating knee injury in 2023, an accident that required multiple surgeries and put his Olympic future in jeopardy. Brody shares how surrendering control, leaning on community, and trusting God’s plan allowed him to find peace and purpose in the middle of pain, ultimately fueling his comeback to the Paris Olympics.This episode is a powerful reminder that joy does not depend on outcomes or achievements. Whether you are an athlete chasing big dreams or someone navigating uncertainty, Brody’s story encourages listeners to compete with purpose, lean on others, and trust in God.KEY MOMENTS:• Brody’s journey from Georgia to Stanford and the Olympic stage • Walking through grief at a young age and its impact on his faith • The 2023 knee injury that threatened his Olympic future • Finding peace, purpose, and joy through James 1:2-4 CONNECT: Guest:Brody Malone IG: https://www.instagram.com/brody1700 Brody Malone FB: https://www.facebook.com/Brodymalone1700/ Brody Malone Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@brodymalone Host: Brooke Gleichowski: https://www.instagram.com/brooke.gleichowski Show: https://www.instagram.com/beamboldly Watch: https://www.youtube.com/@beamboldly Listen: Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts Join the community: https://connect.beamboldly.com/ Beam Boldly is produced by Hype Boss and PodPlus Studios, powered by Podcast Brilliance.

What if the very moment that breaks you is the one God uses to bring you back?In Episode 9 of Beam Boldly, host Brooke Gleichowski sits down with University of Oklahoma gymnast Hannah Scheible - a 2X Nastia Liukin Cup qualifier, 7X Level 10 national champion, and All-American on vault - to talk about faith, injury, and the freedom found in surrender.From the outside, Hannah’s story looked like everything was falling apart: a torn Achilles, a surgery that shattered her season, and a rare eye infection that threatened her vision entirely. But through every setback, God was writing a story of trust, obedience, and redemption.She shares the moment she first heard God’s voice - “Your life is a gift from Me, and it’s not yours to decide when it ends.” - and how that encounter changed her forever. When her sport was taken away, her faith became her foundation. When she couldn’t see, God taught her to see differently.Through recovery, waiting, and the slow work of healing, Hannah learned how to work while she waited, to pray through the pain, and to see purpose in every unseen detail.This conversation is a reminder that God’s definition of “good” often begins in what feels hard - and that true peace doesn’t come from control, but from surrender.Key moments:• The first time Hannah heard God’s voice in her darkest moment• Finding purpose when you can’t perform• Learning to seek God daily - in every arena of lifeCONNECT:Sponsor:Sideline Bags website: https://bit.ly/3Z2H7AnEnter code BEAM10 for 10% off first orderSideline Bags Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/shopsidelinebagsGuest:Hannah Scheible - 7x Level 10 national champion: https://www.instagram.com/hannah_scheibleHost:Brooke Gleichowski: https://www.instagram.com/brooke.gleichowskiShow: https://www.instagram.com/beamboldlyWatch: https://www.youtube.com/@beamboldlyListen: Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts Join the community: https://connect.beamboldly.com/Beam Boldly is produced by Hype Boss and PodPlus Studios, powered by Podcast Brilliance.Media inquiries: media@hypeboss.comSubmit a guest: https://www.beamboldly.com/guest💡 About Beam Boldly Hosted by NCAA Division I gymnast Brooke Gleichowski, Beam Boldly empowers young women and athletes to grow in faith, build resilience, and live with confidence.
