Emmy Award-winning endurance athlete Rebecca Rusch is set to debut her new podcast, 'What's the Rusch', a transformative weekly series exploring personal growth, vulnerability, and human potential through candid conversations with high-achieving professionals.
The podcast emerges from Rusch's personal journey of introspection, particularly influenced by her challenging recovery from a concussion and the recent loss of her mother. Drawing inspiration from Michelangelo's sculptural approach of revealing art by removing excess, Rusch aims to help listeners shed unnecessary psychological barriers and discover their authentic selves.
Each episode will feature distinguished guests from sports, science, health, wellness, and leadership, including Olympic athletes, psychologists, and explorers. Guests such as Dr. Michael Gervais, Haley Batten, and Dr. Stacy Sims will share insights into peak performance, resilience, and personal transformation.
Rusch's approach goes beyond traditional performance discussions, creating a nuanced exploration of how vulnerability can become a catalyst for growth. The podcast seeks to address fundamental questions about identity, achievement, and personal evolution, offering listeners a unique perspective on navigating life's challenges.
The series builds upon Rusch's previous documentary work, including her Emmy-winning film 'Blood Road' and her documentary about concussion recovery. These experiences have deeply informed her understanding of personal transformation and resilience.
'What's the Rusch' represents more than a podcast; it is an invitation for listeners to examine their own paths, embrace vulnerability, and redefine success on their own terms. By bridging performance psychology, personal storytelling, and philosophical inquiry, Rusch creates a compelling narrative about human potential and authentic living.
