How (Literal) Pants-Wetting Anxiety Can Clarify Life, with Sierra Schlag
Update: 2025-07-16
Description
Throughout professional skier Sierra Schlag’s childhood, her Japanese heritage and cultural practices made her the target of racist bullying. Then, when she traveled to Japan to visit family as a child, and later as an adult, she was referred to as “Nisei”—a person born in North America whose parent(s) immigrated from Japan. She couldn’t make sense of being seen as white in Japan and Japanese in America, but she found an unlikely method of wholeness: skiing. Turns out, catharsis comes in many forms, including with anxiety that ultimately helps us understand where we came from, where we are, and what defines us.
