FEAR | In this [BEST OF] Episode of The PowHERful Podcast, AJ McCord sits down with Olympic Great British free skier Zoe Atkin. The Stanford student is entering the 2026 Winter Olympics as one of the top contenders to bring home a gold medal in free ski halfpipe. In this episode she gets vulnerable about her relationship with fear and how one psychology class at Stanford changed the way she approached the fear that would sometimes leave her paralyzed at the top of the pipe. She takes us to school, sharing the ways she’s able to overcome and process it and, spoiler alert, they’re ways we took can tackle fear in our everyday lives.
