My True Identity…

In my conversation with Jenna Kutcher on her Goal Digger Podcast we talked about identity and Jenna asked me that very question. While my roles (daughter, sister, friend, competitor, professional athlete, speaker, wife, mother) have shifted significantly with different stages of life, my true identity has stayed the same: I am a beloved child of God…always have been, always will be.
