009: From Fall Lines to Soul Lines with Gretchen Bleiler

<p>In this episode, Tony sits down with Olympic snowboarder and spiritual psychology coach <strong>Gretchen Bleiler</strong> in Aspen, recorded at Mad Dog Ranch Studios (a recording studio once owned by Jimmy Buffett and Glenn Frey). Gretchen shares the pivotal moments that shaped her path: a tough inner critic rooted in childhood, the leap of faith to pursue snowboarding when it was newly Olympic, and the mindset shift that transformed fear and pressure into presence, gratitude, and performance most memorably at the X Games in her hometown. The conversation expands into Gretchen’s post-competition journey: identity loss, injury and concussions, a bipolar diagnosis, sobriety, and the “goal line vs. soul line” framework she now teaches using transitions and setbacks as portals to healing, wholeness, and living from your inherent worth.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thank you for listening - Rate &amp; Review the Position Podcast on your favourite listening platform</p><p><br /></p><p>Get in Touch with Tony Capasso:</p><p>⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Linkedin: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/tonycapasso/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.linkedin.com/in/tonycapasso/</a></p><p>Position_Podcast on Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/position_podcast/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/position_podcast/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Get in Touch with Gretchen:<br />Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/gretchenbleiler/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.instagram.com/gretchenbleiler/</a></p>
