5-MINUTE FRIDAY: What's Your Word For 2026?

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/ee349c06-25f3-4469-8086-b3c50169bd22/transcript

This week Emily's sitting down with Laila Edwards, a true pioneer in the world of women’s hockey. Edwards recently made history as the first Black woman to compete for—and win gold with—Team USA Hockey. Beyond her Olympic success, she is a national champion and was a prolific scorer during her final collegiate season at Wisconsin, leading the nation with 35 goals.

In this conversation, Laila opens up about the whirlwind experience of winning gold in Milan and navigating the sudden surge of media attention that followed. She shares the nerves and pressures that come with being a trailblazer and how she has learned to transform those challenges into a platform for inspiring others. We also dive into her transition from high school to a decorated collegiate career, the mental resilience required to earn her ice time, and how she stayed even-keeled while switching positions on the world stage. Plus, she addresses the viral conversation surrounding the USA men's hockey team and why she believes that if you love a space, you belong in it—regardless of who else is in the room.

In this episode:


The whirlwind of winning Olympic gold and returning to college life


Navigating the pressures and responsibilities of being a trailblazer in hockey


The mental shift required when transitioning to a high-level collegiate program


Switching from forward to defense on the national team and trusting the process


Techniques for staying calm and "even-keeled" during high-stakes moments


Her reaction to the media cycle surrounding the men’s team at the White House


The importance of representation and her message: "If you love it, you belong"


Her experience as a Red Bull athlete and the transition to the PWHL draft

Quotable Moments:

"Don’t ever feel like you don’t belong. Don’t let that be the reason you don’t do it."

"I have the opportunity to change someone’s life essentially, and I think that is so cool. So any chance I get to do that, I’m going to take it."

"If you love something ... then you belong. No matter who looks like you and who doesn’t."

"Pressure is a privilege... look at all the good that’s coming out of it."

"I was a person before I was a hockey player... I want to leave an impression as a good person."

This episode, I'm talking about my spontaneous decision to go to Phoenix for the NCAA Final Four! As a proud UConn alum, I couldn’t pass up the chance to cheer on the Huskies and spend some quality father-daughter time. I dive into the power of listening to your "whispers"—those gut feelings that nudge you toward exciting possibilities—and challenge you to shift your mindset from "what if it goes wrong?" to "what if it goes right?" Plus, I answer a listener question about navigating the mental and physical hurdles of getting back into a fitness routine after a break.

5-MINUTE FRIDAY: What’s the Best That Could Happen?

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/6ae6f2e5-8cfe-4717-9308-b4200171a841/transcript

Andraya Carter knows a thing or two about resilience and reinvention. After three ACL injuries cut her basketball playing career short, the University of Tennessee graduate transitioned into broadcasting, where she now covers both all things basketball for ESPN. In this episode, we dive into how Andraya navigated these career transitions and found new ways to stay connected to the game she loves. She shares her perspective on overcoming physical setbacks, the mental fortitude required to deal with repeated injuries, and the importance of authenticity when working on some of sports media's biggest stages.

MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE
Andraya’s Journey: From playing at Tennessee to becoming one of the most recognizable faces on ESPN.
The Power of Preparation: Why Andraya believes in "reps" and how she prepares for different roles, from sideline reporting to color analysis.
Defining Success on Your Own Terms: Navigating outside opinions and social media while staying true to yourself.
The Importance of Connection: How Andraya’s grandmother influenced her desire to make others feel seen and heard.
Mindfulness and Movement: Why movement and meditation (even in small moments like inside an Uber or on a plane) are essential to Andraya's wellness routine.

QUOTABLE MOMENTS

On Career and Transition
"Chasing a dream is a transferable skill. My dream was to be a professional athlete, I chased it, I didn’t get it, but the idea of having a goal and going for it to me is a skill."
"Every rep was good for me because it was a rep. It was an opportunity to have a microphone, to speak, to be on camera, and it was fun."
"The story of having a job to pay the bills while having a dream in the back of your mind is actually not uncommon."

On Resilience and Preparation
"The ones who can be uncomfortable the longest are the ones that make it. You have to push through this discomfort."
"I just started judging my performance based on—was I prepared? If I was prepared, I had my notes ... I was ready for this moment."

On Mindfulness and Authenticity
"I hope that what translates to viewers ... is just my passion. I've been able to be myself on air ... Connecting to people has always been something that I try to take a lot of pride in."
"Being present is so important. I hope people start to understand more how you really are your best self when you're present."
"There's value in feeling valued, and value in being paid what you feel like you're worth and not what other people say that you're worth."
