Welcome to another inspiring episode of the Adventure Paradox podcast, featuring Crystal Wright as our guest this week.

Crystal Wright is a skiing powerhouse and a fearless adventurer who’s dominated the mountains and the competition. A two-time Freeskiing World Tour Champion (2009, 2012), Crystal’s journey began on the slopes of Jackson Hole, where she was skiing before she could walk. She skyrocketed through the ski racing world, even forerunning the Women’s Olympic downhill in 2002, before turning her passion to freeskiing, where she claimed 22 podium finishes. Beyond the slopes, she owns Wright Training, helping others bounce back stronger from injury, and co-founded the Jackson Hole Babe Force to empower women to push their limits in the mountains. Crystal’s story is one of grit, glory, and unyielding passion for life—get ready to be inspired!

In this episode, Crystal opens up about her experience of overcoming a life-changing injury, the challenges of adapting to a new way of life, and the resilience required to thrive in business. She shares her personal story of transitioning from a wheelchair to becoming a leader in her field, and how her injury has shaped her approach to both personal growth and professional success. Crystal's insights into turning obstacles into opportunities offer a profound look at the power of perseverance and innovation.

There is no gold medal for being a mom - no competition. Each of us gets to collaborate with the gifts we have been given, forgive those that hurt us, and make the most out of the opportunity we have to pass the best we can on to the next generation and do our own healing work. In the end, we are competing with our own ideals of perfectionism around mommyhood.

In this episode (which my children make a surprise appearance on) we talk about witnessing the birth of puppies and what it means to be a good dog mom. Then I touch on "The Ballerina Farms Controversy" and what it is really all about... Being present to and bringing all parts of ourselves to the table.

If you would like to connect about podcasting or see the puppy birth video I mention, or anything else, please send me an email: catcaldwellmyers@gmail.com
