“If they can do it, why can’t I?” —Sharina Isabel

I’ve watched Sharina’s progress for a while and have been impressed by her strength as a jumper! This is the first conversation we’ve had, and we really dug into all points of her journey, really focusing on how to build confidence. If confidence has been a journey for you, you’ll really dig Sharina’s insights and perspective. We also chat about jumping solo versus with others, the similarities between architecure and jump rope, feeling nervous when going to a gym for the first time, and a lot more!

You can listen to the podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher and Overcast.
