Description

Allyson Felix is the most decorated woman in U.S. track and field history — with 11 Olympic medals, 14 World Championship golds, and a legacy that goes far beyond the podium. In this candid conversation, Allyson opens up about navigating pregnancy and motherhood while competing at the highest level, the contract battle with Nike that helped spark change for maternal protections in sports, and how she’s building a new path for women through her own brand, Saysh. From the realities of balancing training and parenting to the broader fight for women’s rights in the workforce, Allyson shares the lessons she’s learned about perseverance, purpose, and speaking up — even when the stakes are high.
