Description
Former Canadian national team player Lauren Sesselman joins us for an honest conversation about the moments that shape an athlete- on and off the field.
Lauren shares her unconventional path from basketball to soccer, the position change that transformed her career, and why versatility, preparation, and believing in yourself can create unexpected opportunities. She also opens up about the difficult transition out of the game, concussion recovery, mental health, and finding the courage to ask for help.
Now a broadcaster, entrepreneur, mentor, and advocate for athletes’ well-being, Lauren is building a meaningful next chapter while helping grow the game around the world.
Content note: This conversation includes discussion of mental health and depression . If you’re struggling, please reach out to someone you trust or a qualified mental-health professional, you do not have to go through it alone.
